55 South - Brentwood

I'm a huge fan of Red Beans and Rice, and this one was excellent! The Catfish was served piping hot and paired perfectly with the dish. Some people might not appreciate it, but they just don't know what they're missing. If you know, you know. All aboard the Flavortown express—next stop, TN!

We went originally because we were given a $25 gift card. I forgot to take a picture of our appetizer, Garlic Parmesean Crab Fries. What a splurge! Our pictured entrees were: Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya and Blackened Mahi Mahi fish Tacos. The food was a treat. I didn't realize until we were eating that they had been on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was an enjoyable time.

What can I say except that it was absolutely amazing! I couldn't make up my mind, so I opted for several appetizers. I had the crab fries, shrimp in a bag, shrimp and grits, and fried green tomatoes with shrimp. All the sauces were incredibly delicious. I wish I could have sampled even more! I will definitely be coming back.

I had a fantastic experience. The deviled eggs appetizer was wonderful! We also ordered the 'pick two' kids meal with bacon and a fruit cup, which is a brilliant concept for kids' meals!

Decent meal! Was it the best?... no... was it the worst?... far from it. The oysters had great flavor, the drinks were average, and the shrimp and grits were okay. The banana bread pudding was good, beignets, meh. Decent meal but I wouldn't say it meets the hype that I read about it.
