Best WLM Reviews

Saturday night is a great time for dinner and music! Frida, an up and coming local singer, filled the restaurant with her songs: originals, covers, Spanish ballads, and yodeling! From 6-8, she performs and it was so beautiful!! The menu is also delicious. From Russian to BBQ, lots of options. The beet borscht was tasty. We also enjoyed the brisket! The hot tea is brewed from organic garden herbs. Variety of bar drinks, too!
I came for dinner to this lovely-looking quirky bbq restaurant. The waitress, Valentina welcomed me in and I was promptly seated (there was one person in the restaurant). I personally love the feel of the establishment. This restaurant definitely has a French-Cajun vibe. Valentina also told me that they have an open mic on Thursdays. This is an adult establishment with a full bar. I didn’t see any high chairs for the kiddos and did not check the restroom.
As for the food itself, I got the brisket, bbq chicken, and beans & rice. It came with cornbread. I also saw a pecan pie and had that for dessert. I washed everything down with an iced tea. Yikes… the brisket & the chicken was coated in the same bbq sauce. The brisket was pretty tough, not tasting like it was smoked. For the chicken, got a drum and a thigh. Both pieces tasted like they were brined then cooked in an oven, not a smoker. They weren’t cooked all the way through unfortunately. The beans & rice has sausage for non-pork eaters, and it was fairly bland. The iced tea was fantastic. The pecan pie wasn’t the best slice I’ve had, with the taste of nutmeg overpowering the dish and a lack of creaminess to the filling.
Price: $47 ($60 w/tip). I personally wouldn’t come back for the food, but to get drinks and for the open mic.
What a gluten free find. The waitress/cook/?owner knows gluten free and we had a delicious meal. I had their homemade smoked turkey lentil soup. My boyfriend had their smoked Tri-tip with grilled veggies and finished with bananas foster. So delicious that I ate to much. Love the unique funky atmosphere of 60’s albums on the wall. I would love to attend when they have live music but alas we are only here for a couple of days. However will return tomorrow for some of the other gluten free items on their menu like borscht.
Incredible. The food was amazing, and they immediately accommodated a group of ten which we were so grateful for. All the food was warm and tasted as homemade as it’s described, even down to homegrown tea leaves. I genuinely can’t praise it enough and can’t wait to go back. A little slow, but considering it’s family owned and operated it was absolutely expected and not a problem at all, and at first a little odd as it was entirely empty but we warmed up to it fast. Such sweet people and well worth.
Great takeout! We got a family meal with a variety of tender meats, smoked sausage, and sides. They were all great. I wish the cornbread muffins were a little more moist or had come with butter/honey. We’d absolutely eat here again!
Don't believe the negative reviews!! We stopped in to give it a shot and boy oh boy ???? huge portions very delicious! The woman isn't rude she is a Russian woman who has a strong accent sometimes there are such things as language barriers ppl .. drop in and enjoy definitely try the red beans & rice the stroganoff the jambalaya! We ordered the 3 meat plate it was enormous!! Best smoked bbq I've had !!
We had the BBQ platter and the New Orleans Shrimp BBQ. The BBQ was good, smoky, and lean. The shrimp was delicious. We felt very welcome and will definitely come back.
Bob Ton L’Roy’s was exactly what we needed after an absolutely overwhelming aquarium experience. The food was incredible (and so much, didn’t even need a side), atmosphere is familial, and I felt right at home. They even played a couple of my favorite tunes. Recommend!
