Great restaurant with great food and service. The upscale diner look is a little too stark for my tastes, but don’t let that stop you from coming to enjoy the dining experience.

About the restaurant

Company Supply offers award winning contemporary Cajun and Creole cuisine with a "Southern Spin". New Orleans native, Richard Mascaro and his wife Colby returned to her home town and opened the doors in 2015. Diners enjoy casual elegance in the restored F.W. Woolworth building located next to Jackson Plaza.

Creative takes on Southern and Creole Cuisine bring traditions like our award winning Catfish Perdu, Crawfish Étouffée and Grits and Grillades to Dublin. Craft cocktails, an ever-changing 16 beer craft tap and the freshest oysters in Middle Georgia are just a little "lagniappe" to the beautiful building we call home.

Our Bar Side stage boasts live acts from around the region Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with regular performances on Jackson Plaza in front of the fountain. If y'all don't get enough to eat or have too much fun on Friday, we will get you right with our brunch on Saturday and then after Church on Sunday.

My wife and I ENJOYED our annual Christmas dinner at "The Chop House! Our waitress, Sydney, was GREAT! She was excellent at multi-tasking, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our calamari/shrimp appetizer was piping hot and tasty. My wife LOVED her Pomegranate Martini, and my draft Miller Lite was ice cold. My Filet and my wife's Prime Rib were tender, seasoned, and delicious! This restaurant is a TREASURE!!

Everything was splendid. The food, Bison & Scallops, were wonderful, as well as the Brussel sprouts. The service was very courteous and on top of everything. The atmosphere was a little loud at times, but it was a full house and everyone was enjoying the holiday spirit. Will definitely be back.
