TIPS Roadside

TIPS is a must go to place in Kenwood. We had an absolutely terrific evening. The food was delicious, the service was implacable and the live music was amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been in a long long time. Oh! Do not forget to order the beignets. Our second visit today was just as amazing. The Cobb salad, the seafood stew, the fried chicken, the burgers and of course beignets were all so delicious. The live music was so good. The artist who played the saxophone and the trumpet was magnificent. I simply love this place!

Just stopped in for a couple drinks. Really nice ambiance and friendly staff. Service was ok but not good. We both found it strange that the martini olives had nothing in the middle (no pimento or cheese or garlic or anything) and it was not very dirty at all, in spite of asking for an extra dirty martini. Also was a little surprised that there were no French fries on the menu at a roadhouse.

Came here for brunch. My sandwich was good, our friends enjoyed their food (corn bread looking dish and the grits). My wife being allergic to Gluten and Dairy does make going to places sometimes hard. This being one of those places. Trying to explain to the waitress what Gluten was just wasn't worth our time after multiple attempts. We were able to order certain sides for her. Other than the poached eggs being more soft boiled, she was happy. We were told one of the main reasons to come here was the Beignets. We ordered two orders between the three that could eat them. As you can see from the pictures they were raw on the inside. We brought this up to waitress who said she would take these and get new ones. We were all done eating by the time the "new" ones came out- (they state takes 15minutes to prepare). We cut into the first two and they were literally just as raw, liquid dough as the first. Being that I've had many beignets, we ended up just asking for them to be taken off and they did.

Very good restaurant. Many years ago, this place was known as the 'Vinyard Inn'. The atmosphere was great. The service was friendly. Foid was delicious, large portions and reasonably priced. Only gripe was the seats were quite uncomfortable. I believe they had done that to have better customer churn. Nevertheless, I'll be revisiting this establishment.

Dan and Jaimie lead such a wonderful team at TIPS. We had our rehearsal dinner there and can not say enough nice things. Fantastic fried chicken, grilled salmon, veggies, potatoes, salad, cocktails, LIVE music, and the laid back ambience was perfect for our family and friends. We thank the team from the bottom of our hearts for a great time! Also Jaimie makes the best cheesecakes, muffins, cookies etc. we had her cheesecake as our wedding cake! And everyone ate their plates clean! Besos!
