Rowdy Tiger

Yes, Rowdy Tiger can be a strong date-night choice thanks to its stylish Midtown vibe, whiskey-forward cocktail list and cozy rooftop option. Guests praise the atmosphere, desserts and some servers for attentive service, and the menu has shareable starters and hearty mains like Shrimp & Grits. Note: service has been inconsistent in some reports and special nights (Valentine’s) can be busy, so consider a reservation and an earlier seating for a smoother evening.

Portions are generally standard for a casual Southern kitchen, mains and handhelds look substantial, but some guests felt certain dishes were skimpy or overpriced (one guest said the tuna in a Thai salad was sparse; others called salads pricey). If you’re sharing starters or want a hearty meal, mains like Shrimp & Grits, burgers and steak-style entrées are filling choices.

Several guest favorites stand out: the Shrimp & Grits is frequently praised for flavor and creamy grits, crispy Brussels sprouts (with feta and pecans) drew high praise, and desserts, especially the chocolate cake and strawberry-and-crème cheesecake, get rave reviews. The menu also highlights Southern mains like braised short ribs and Smothered Cornish Hen as strong choices.

Rowdy Tiger serves three dayparts: breakfast, lunch/brunch and dinner. Typical hours are: Breakfast Mon–Fri 6:30–10:00 am (Sat–Sun 7:00–11:00 am); Lunch Mon–Fri 11:30 am–3:00 pm; Brunch Sat–Sun 12:00–3:00 pm; Dinner daily 5:00–10:00 pm. For holiday hours or special events, call ahead.

For a lively weekend brunch or rooftop experience, visit on Saturday or Sunday during brunch hours. If you prefer a quieter meal, weekday lunch or early weekday dinner tends to be calmer, multiple guests reported seeing the restaurant fairly empty at off-peak times. Plan ahead for holidays and special events (Valentine’s Day was busy) and reserve if you want a specific time.

The atmosphere is stylish and Southern-casual with a roaring-20s, whiskey-bar vibe, guests frequently praise the decor, rooftop views and refreshing ambiance. Service experiences vary in reviews (some guests loved attentive servers; others reported slow or indifferent service), but the dining room and bar are generally described as comfortable and lively when busy.

Casual dress is the stated policy, guests typically wear smart-casual attire. The restaurant’s relaxed vibe makes it a good fit for date nights, brunch or a night out at the whiskey bar without formal dress requirements.

Yes, the menu includes vegetarian and vegan-friendly items (Black-Eyed Pea Burger, Tofu Jambalaya, Power Bowl, various salads and healthy plates). Many dishes also lend themselves to lighter or gluten-free choices, though the menu doesn’t list explicit gluten-free labels. If you have strict dietary needs, call ahead and the kitchen can often accommodate or recommend suitable dishes.

Yes, the restaurant asks that larger parties (7+) contact them directly for reservations and arrangements. Guests have tried emailing for special requests (one reported not receiving a reply for a birthday request), so for guaranteed attention call the restaurant or mention requests when booking. Staff will often accommodate dietary needs or celebration details when given notice.

Generally yes for casual family meals, but Rowdy Tiger leans adult with a strong cocktail and whiskey program. The casual dining menu includes approachable items (handhelds, pancakes, Shrimp & Grits, breakfast plates) that work well for older kids and teens. There’s no explicit kids’ menu listed, so for younger children consider an earlier seating or call ahead to confirm accommodations.

Rowdy Tiger gets busiest for special occasions and holidays (Valentine’s Day was noted as busy) and during weekend brunch hours. Several guests reported quieter visits during off-peak times, weekday lunches and early dinners can feel calm. If you want a lively scene, aim for weekend brunch or weekend evenings; for a quieter experience, visit midweek or earlier in the evening.

It depends on your goals: choose Saturday or Sunday for rooftop brunch and a lively weekend scene; pick a weekday (lunch or early dinner) if you prefer a quieter table and faster service. If you want a romantic or special-occasion meal, plan ahead for holiday evenings like Valentine’s Day when they run preset menus.
