Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Carrollton

What a true Gem! The service, food and ambiance were amazing. We will definitely dine here again when we come visit. We had the arugula salad, the pork chop - which my husband, who travels a lot, said it was the best thick cut pork chop he'd every had. I don't have burgers often so I was looking forward to the wagyu burger, but they had literally changed the menu that day to add a short rib burger instead of the wagyu. Never had a short rib burger before but it was amazing! Grilled, tender and very flavorful. I also had the fries and they were great. We had the pot de creme for dessert - perfect! Flavor was amazing - not too sweet. Everything was exceptional - including the very knowledgeable and very welcoming host - Jemele (I apologize if I'm misspelling) and our server - Sammie J - Outstanding!!

This was our second visit to Shaya...and just like our first visit, we loved our meal. We enjoyed three of the dips: Babaganoush, Ikra, and another that had anchovies. They were all amazing! Of course, the fresh, warm pitas would make anything taste yummy! Next we had the hummus with fried chicken. It was good, but wish we had gotten the hummus with lamb ragu which we had last time and it was truly outstanding. We enjoyed a salad, that could have been cut up a bit more. It was sort of messy to get onto your plate and eat. It was good, but nothing special. Finally we enjoyed the hanger steak and potatoes. Delicious! Tender. Juicy. Just really good. They have great wine selections and the service was appropriately attentive without being annoying. We will definitely return if we come back to NOLA.

Everything was delicious. Ordered everything from shareable appetizers through dessert. Service was excellent and servers were attentive. Drinks were served quickly even when ordering impromptu wine when the meal arrived. Wine showed up in minutes so it could be enjoyed with the meal. It really was a perfect meal out with colleagues.

I had been to Brennen’s almost 50 years ago!!! My father told me to go to Brennens for breakfast and order the “Milk Punch.” And so coming again 50 years later Brennens did not disappoint . Everything about my past experience there came flushing back to me, only this time I appreciated being there even more. It was still so beautiful and the food was amazing. My husband had the Scottish egg dish and I had the Duck egg and Duck meat hash. Superb food and beautiful decor . Don’t miss the Brennens experience. Pictures to follow… we even came back the same day for happy hour cocktails.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The espresso martinis were phenomenal and the red snapper was delicious. I truly appreciated the attention to providing quality service and ensuring before we left that everyone was satisfied with their meal.
