Whether you're looking for restaurant to host a group dinner for a special occasion, or you simply want to relax and enjoy a good meal on a Friday night, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar is a solid choice. This place is often packed, and yet customers still routinely give it high marks for both hospitality and food.

Yelp reviewers rave over the coconut crusted crab cakes with Thai chili sauce, so if you like seafood, this is a good appetizer to begin your meal. As far as entrees go, the blackened fish taco with tomato relish and chipotle aioli is another customer favorite, while the kona coffee crusted ribeye steak served with herbed marrow butter and warm potato salad is one of the kitchen's specialties. Be careful, however: the menu is so varied and appealing that it can be easy to fill up without leaving room for dessert. Regulars will tell you this is a big mistake, because dessert at Tommy Bahama is simply delicious. Finish your meal with a slice of triple layer chocolate cake, and you'll likely leave with a smile.

Tewbeleaux’s: Bountiful Beverages and Bayou-Worthy Grub

September 25, 2014 by

Inspired by the youthful competitive spirit of two-hand touch football once played by a young Chip Jackson, Tewbeleaux’s founder, this popular Spring sports bar and grill mixes up the rules by offering creative Cajun-inspired cuisine in addition to the casual bar fare classics.

For a taste of New Orleans, try the crawfish smothered in classic Creole etouffee sauce on top of white rice, or order the popular Andouille sausage dog, topped with blackened chicken, veggies, cheese, and Creole mustard. Like any sports bar worth its salt, Tewbeleaux’s has no shortage of chicken wings, tossed in your choice of sauce. Wash it all down with a signature cocktail or one of the 20 brews on draft.

A destination for local Spring sports fans, on any given night Tewbeleaux’s is powering more TVs than an electronic superstore and, of course, all in crisp high-def. Customers can also play a shoot pool, throw darts, and even play video games. The ambiance at Tewbeleaux's is boisterous and fun, but the dining room is clean and well-maintained.

Join in on the fun 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
