I love this place, especially for the food. I can recommend the chicken & waffles with candied bacon, its the best. Also, I can recommend their pulled pork! Great atmosphere, music and bands. Very friendly and helpful staff. Make sure to book a table especially on weekends, it was easy with their online booking. Can't wait to go back!! :-)
Really good service , friendly staff, great casual atmosphere and tasty food ! Would recommend ๐๐ป

Quirky southern USA style cafe. Nicely located on Little Malop Street which is undergoing an impressive rejuvenation. The cafe is full of all sorts of interesting southern and American style adornments. Also, there was great music playing. Overall itโs a fun place with great inside and outside areas.
I chose the gumbo bowl and corn bread. It was a cracking dish. Spicy and full of flavour with a lovely tasty sausage. It really packs a punch and is a mighty dish. Better than any gumbo Iโve had in Melbourne. My companions enjoyed their dishes too, two burgers and one rice dish.
Good place. Recommended.
One of the best bowls of gumbo I've had in Australia. The broth was thick and full of flavour.
And the voodoo munchies pack a punch.
I was expecting it to be a serve of bites of fried chicken & fries, topped with sauce. Instead, it was fries topped with bites of chicken which had been soaked in an intensely hot marinade. Boy did they have a kick! (So it was actually quite nice to have the fries not covered in the same sauce!)
Really cool vibe, good drinks menu and the staff are all really friendly & up for a chat
Definitely a highlight on the Little Malop dining scene
An enjoyable meal with friends here. I ordered the fried chicken with sides of fries, coleslaw and cornbread. The slaw was a good and needed compliment to the chicken. Cornbread was decent but not as sweet as some I have had in the States.
I have to be honest that the chicken did not look great when it came on the plate. It was well seasoned however and was pretty well cooked. The meat was moist and succulent. There are no bones in the chicken that made for easy work by knife and fork (or your hands if you prefer to eat it that way!). It went down pretty easy along with a beer.
One regret though - not ordering waffles to go with the chicken!
Pistol Pete's made me miss soul food from the States and was a pretty good feed that took me back down memory lane!

Take note that this is of course all based on my unqualified opinion!
My considerations: 1. Food 2. Value 3. Service 4. Atmosphere
Great place and good food! Always a good night out the back in the courtyard!! Good atmosphere and music. Great spot on a nice arvo/evening.
Had a really great time here, music and atmosphere is nice and lively. Food was nice, I had the chicken and waffles admittedly I've never had anything like it before so it wasn't amazing but tasty enough. Chips are to die for however! Great service and will come back to try something different.
Absolutely fantastic. Never had this type of food and i loved it. Had pulled pork, cajun fries, okra and corn bread. Will definitely go again and tell my friends.
Love it. This spot is ideal to drop into before a show or a movie and then return for a cold beer and some good old fashioned live music. The kind we used to hear in pubs. The food is tantalising and generous. I had never had gumbo before but, if this is how it should taste, then I will be having more. Next time I will be trying the southern fried chicken which looks so good. The staff are friendly and not in your face. Book a table if you are arriving after 7pm.
This place is like being back in New Orleans! The food is spot on and the vibe of the place is perfect! If you're looking for something to cure a hangover, hit up the chicken and waffles!
Friday night meal with the boys, great atmosphere, like what they've done with the place. Laid back feeling with a live band playing smooth blues. Best setting to have a burger and a beer with a few mates. The mojo burger with a generous serving of cajun fries was a big meal. Very tasty and all the elements were done perfectly, cannot complain!
Came here for a birthday lunch celebration. I'd love to come back again at night when they have live performances! The food was cooked to perfection. My partner commented that the food tasted just like authentic Deep South cuisine. The sweet and fruity Purple Haze beer was also delicious. It's so great to have a place like this in Geelong! Looking forward to going back.
