They have completely changed the menu and the variety is no longer there. This was my go to place before a show, but I like to be able to choose different menu options. The only thing on the menu now is fried chicken.

Unfortunately I felt this place has taken a nose dive. The bathrooms and hallways and our table were dirty. The service was so slow we couldn’t get drinks refilled or napkins I had to the plates off other tables I just felt like the service and cleanliness were not good. The food was hot and still very delicious but overall I would not race back. Our server was not very good at all.

The food and the service was outstanding! The staff were very attentive and were always accessible. I can't say enough good things about the food and the cocktails! I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and will certainly return.

The food is great- the kitchen/service is poor. Waited 45 minutes for a salad and chicken sandwich. When people make reservations- they likely have somewhere to be. It’s not leisure day out. Especially where you are located, people have theatre tickets. A 5:15 reservation should allow for a full meal and to get to a 7pm performance without panicking. To not have your main course coming out until 6:05 is ridiculous.

I felt my chicken was overcooked and spicier than usual. The place was rather empty compared to our previous visits. While we likely will return at some point, since it’s convenient when we go into the city for the speaker series, we attend it will not be at the top of our rotation of places we go.

Always a solid meal! The chicken and sandwiches are super and you can’t go wrong with any of the sides. Personal fave is shrimp and grits!

It was our first time dining at The Eagle. We were pleasantly surprised with by the menu, the vibe, service, & affordability. Rod, our server was outstanding! Very personable & knowledgeable. The restaurant is located right in the theater district and is a short walk to all the venues.
