    I understand the name now. It was so loud, we couldn’t carry on a conversation without raising our voices. The food was very good, but the dining experience was poor. I won’t go back, but I would do carry out.

    It was beyond uncomfortably hot inside. The food was great, but dinner was almost miserable due to the heat inside.

    Restaurant was nice. Inside and outside seating. Good bar selection. Noise level was low so it was nice for families. Service was great. Food was okay. The shrimp po boy had tons of breading on the shrimp to make it look like there was more shrimp than there was. Bread was huge. Fries were soggy and not crispy at all. No flavor on the fries so you must mut the State of Confusion spices on from the table. Burgers made our stomachs hurt afterwards. Poor quality meat. The fries with the Burger were the same, soggy and not crispy. Lettuce wraps were good. Nice plating with plenty of sauce. Overall, it was not as great as people talk about. Good place for dates and social gatherings. If I go again, I will definitely have to try something else from the menu.
