I came here to watch Crazy Rich Asians on a quiet afternoon. It has been seriously upgraded since I came here as a kid. They have a Dolby Big-D theater, offer alcoholic drinks, and new concessions. The theater appears clean and quiet and the entire experience was very comfortable. The next steps for improvement would be reclining seats, online seat reservations, and a separate bar area. That said, this theater was more than I expected.

A local recommended Blues on Neil to me. Great suggestion. Limited but great selection of southern, cajun, soul food, and vegan dishes. The sides are true comfort food. The portion sizes are huge. I ordered grits and shrimp. Very tasty 0and full of flavor. My friend ordered catfish abs side of collard greens, red beans and rice, and corn bread muffins. Neither of us could finsh our meal. I was given a take home container and promptly left it on the table. I was crossing the street when a staff member came out chasing me with my container of food - this was an extra effort which I really appreciated. Our waitress Renee was very attentive and knowledgeable.
