Bluegrass was a pleasant surprise. Great variety on menu and the waitress explained options well. Met the owner Joanie and manager tableside checking on us and learning about each other. Bar service good with Hurricane and ale. Our party of two dined on pulled pork sandwich, Rémoulade Salad topped with lump crab and added a serving of fried crawfish. Delicious! Tried the shot of Gumbo and was not disappointed. Finished with gifted serving of Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. Going back to try more southern menu choices.

Went for daughter’s birthday lunch. Waiter was nice but at times we couldn’t find him. Salmon was prepared perfectly and the salad it came with was amazing. Chocolate cake wasn’t good. Very disappointed. It was very cold and hard.
