Live music was too loud for having a conversation during dinner, sometimes less is more. The food and service are good and despite it being packed we were very well served and food came out early.

Wow! Went for the birthday lobster, and stayed for oysters Rockefeller, LOADED MASHED POTATOS, and 2 doubles on happy hour. I left smiling!

Christmas office lunch. I had the shrimp and grits. Very disappointing for me.😕 Another member of our group had the same. She seemed to have enjoyed hers. The rest of the group had burgers, pulled pork, etc. Overall the group enjoyed their food.😉 Our server was nice and attentive. 😉I will try Ballyhoo again but not the shrimp and grits. Well we tried Ballyhoo Grill for our Birthday 🥳 luncheon. I ordered the shrimp 🍤 tacos 🌮 and was pleasantly surprised. I asked for sauce on the side but when I got the food. It was altogether. Everyone else in the group enjoyed the entrees. Which consisted of baby back ribs, burgers 🍔, salad 🥗 and 🍤 and grits. Very noisy.

This was too much like a loud bar. We had oysters and sat at the bar. Since we weren't drinking the bartenders ignored us until I waved and she took our order. But the 2 ladies had a lot to cover. The food was excellent. It just isn't my kind of place..I am not a big drinker at all. I went for oysters....that was great. But did not expect a bar scene. That is my fault for not looking into it more. If it wasn't as late as it was we would have left.
