The triple threat, food, service, and atmosphere. I can't find anything negative about the pub. The food is straight FIYA, and I've never had a bad item thus far. I've been 5 times now across the past 3 years, and it's been consistent every time. Cool layout, outdoor patio, located across from the Saturday morning farmers market, bike trail runs along the side of the patio, and the staff is friendly and courteous. You have to try the Crawfish Mac-N-Cheese. Just go by and enjoy

Unfortunately although I thought my food was delicious, my other family members did not. And that might have been over looked if our service was good but it seemed that everyone was too worried about the event they were having on the patio. We had to track down our waiter to get boxes and a check after being done with our meal for at least 10mins, which he saw in passing.

Then to add to it, the credit card machine starts at a 20% tip, since when is that a starting point. I tip generously (up to 100%) if it was good service, food and atmosphere but there was no way it was worth 20% this time.

I absolutely love the Brew Pub! I usually come in at least once a weekend and still haven't gotten tired of the food, especially since there are frequently stellar specials. Can't think of another restaurant I would recommend getting a salad as one of the best options on the menu. But the real secret is Karen's cheesecakes, the best I've ever had and the only cheesecake I wish had even more crust. The main draw at the bar is having every Abita beer Abita is currently making, but the staff doesn't let their cocktails play second fiddle.
While the food is great, the service and the atmosphere are what make it a destination. I personally like to sit away from the music so I can hold conversation, but it is a great place to listen to live music and enjoy some food and drink. There is also space out front for kids to play as well as the park right there for older kids to run back and forth. The staff is the true crowning jewel of this establishment. There are so many wonderful people working here that I feel bad not giving everyone a shout out. But I must give special recognition to Melanie, who has become a member of the family. I will bring my daughter in for lunch just so she can see her favorite waitress for a few moments. Austin is also a very warm young man and I am impressed with his natural customer service skills.

03-28-2025 Came in around 8pm and the music was awesome. Decided to sit outside and ordered the Reuben... added bacon, which made all the difference. Great service and great food again.
10-4-2024 Seated immediately near the music... but the wait developed a short time after. Went with the Blackened Redfish special tonight. In the past, I was an avid fisherman and always felt disappointed when a fake fish was passed off as being Redfish... but this meal was exactly as it should be. Might be my new favorite... if I wasn't so stuffed from it! Definitely filling. Service was impeccable.

9-14-2024 Been several times since the last update and have had zero issues. Had the Chicken Abitafeller... a play on the cream spinach part of the dish. It was incredible. Adding photos from recent visits.

6-1-2024 After a bad burger experience, I decided to switch back from the poboys to the burgers... yes, I did comment about my past undercooked patty. Still, I only had an issue here once. When I arrived I was seated immediately on a busy night, probably since I requested to be near the great live music. Ordered onions rings and delayed the burger order to enjoy the music... had a great time, and while the waitress rushed the bill... I was there much longer than most, and I'm sure her shift was ending. Solid experience as usual.

3-17-2023 This has become my usual Friday spot. Good music, good food... and mostly good service. Changed it up tonight for Lent and had the combination catfish and shrimp poboy... added Swiss and onions. It did not disappoint! They probably want me to leave, as I often dine here alone to hear the music... but so far, I've never felt rushed regardless of the waitlist and wait time.

2-4-23 Been a few times again and tried the Reuben sandwich... while it was great, went back to my Gouda Burger with added bacon. I also added avocado... and I believe I have my go-to Abita Brew Pub order. When the music is right... there's no better place to be!

1-7-2023 Back again... and tried the Gouda burger again... just to be sure it wasn't a fluke... added bacon, and it did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly to my order. On other visits, I had the seafood plate and the stuffed boudin quail. Everything is great here!

12-3-2022 Always great music and I'm surprised how few people recognize the talent that plays here. Got the Gouda burger tonight, and while I've had burgers here before... this one was the best so far. Not so much due to the gouda... but more to the fact that it was cooked perfectly! A burger should stand out due to the actual burger patty... and this time it did! Great job!

9-2-2022 Came for the music but had a great dinner. Decided on the fish tacos after the bartender's recommendation and it did not disappoint. Clean refreshing flavor with crunchy slaw and crispy blackened Mahi Mahi. Oh... the music was top notch too!

Previously... Stopped in for some music and a killer burger, but the music apparently didn't show up. Still had the actual Killer Burger and it was pretty good. Not cooked medium as ordered but still tasty. Service was super friendly and can't wait to go back... I'll just call first to confirm the music is actually playing! (Technically not their fault.)

We very much enjoyed our visit here, we stopped in on a Tuesday late afternoon for a drink and a snack. It’s right next to the bike path and had a very friendly vibe. It had a great community feel with both indoor and outdoor seating. Our young waitress was friendly. They pipe music outside at an appropriate volume so it’s a nice place to be able to chat. We would make this a regular stop if we lived in the area!

Nice atmosphere! Free electric car charging (we rented a Tesla). The Greek salad ($12) and Catfish Étouffée ($18) were excellent. Abita beer! Reasonable prices. Fast and friendly service. Thanks!

Loved the quaintness of the place. The patio was shaded and has giant fans and misters doing their job and keeping it comfortable, It was very comfortable, even on a hot day.
Service was good and there's a nice selection of beers and cocktails to choose from. Meal menu gives great choices as well. With all the burgers, poboys, salads, pastas and daily specials, It was hard to choose!!
Food was good, but for me it needed a little more seasoning, but the portions were very fair. We will definitely be back on our next visit.
