Spoke & Barrel - Eatery 639 Girod Street, Mandeville, LA 70448

"Delicious! Can't wait to try their trivia night!"

"The Parm crusted chicken was off the hook. It was served w mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. All of which were beyond delicious. My boyfriend had the shrimp n grits and said it was beyond good as well. This place is definitely a 11 out of 10 star place. The prices are reasonable and the service was great. I was quite impressed. I also highly recommend the meat and cheese board to start. We couldn't quit picking at it."

"Spoke & Barrel (no longer Old Rail Brewing!) our Bartender, David, was fabulous. Other female bartender with long black hair & tall guy were great too. All food was prepped from scratch, delicious, & beautifully plated. Bar is huge. Like 15 local beers on tap besides wine & cocktail list. Bottled Jones soda options, including zero sugar cola. Slice of bread pudding was fat & amazing. Strong rum sauce. Brussel sprouts Amazing flavor, perfectly charred. A touch oily, if u don't like that, but still great. Truffle fries are thin shoe-string fries & delicious, unless you're sensitive to salt. Bolognese pasta great - whipped ricotta with it is light, sweet & delicious. They have trivia & different activities going on. Brunch soon. Separate lunch menu with a lot of sandwiches. Food is a little pricey, but a lot of prep goes into it home-made & thoughtful plating"

"We were there during the soft opening 3 weeks after reopening. We asked for a booth, and even though there were 3 booths that were recently vacated, it probably took them about 10 min to clear the table. The waitress told us she was new, she was slow to get our order. Two tables who had come in before us had their order taken before us. My crab appetizer had shells in it, so I took points off for that. I would not order that again. I didn't like the charcuterie board. Just not my favorite cheeses and meats. I tried hubby's short rib gravy fries and didn't care for those either. Hubby liked his pork chop sandwich. I agree with another reviewer that the lunch menu could be tweaked. The remodel looks good. Although I can't really tell what they changed, it does look better. Just wasn't a great experience."
