There was a hair in my red beans and rice, and it was an ok place to sit, food was also pretty good in terms of taste, I just wouldn’t go back.

Good food, Maybe cool for people from outside of the US, but really typical and not exciting for me.

This coffee shop doubles as a bookstore. Which is pretty rad. Plenty of couches for comfy sitting and reading!

Tried, Not Our Favorite

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar
@americanenglishpodcast
This place gets packed! We ordered the Shrimp and Grits and Chicken, sweet tea, etc. It was good, but to be fair I don’t think we love shrimp and grits and fried chicken to begin with, so we’re unfair judges.

@americanenglishpodcast
Some people love this place. I’ve been there twice and both times it was really average to me.

New Belgium Brewing Company
@americanenglishpodcast
I thought I’d love this place. It felt too shiny and cold, not cozy like I was hoping … at least in the tasting room.

Cocula Mexican Restaurant II
@americanenglishpodcast
I’m from California and I’ve never seen a California burrito smothered in white sauce. Tasted good, but not what I was expecting.

Taco Temple
@americanenglishpodcast
We really wanted to love this place bc the vibe was good. Fish taco was amazing, the salad was great, but we ordered 3 steak tacos (one for everyone in our group) and they all went into the trash. The meat was cooked wrong and they were sort of sweet. The cheese was rubbery. Sooo weird.
