Toast

We had been here in the past when it was "City Limit", so entering the restaurant brought back a lot of fun/hazy memories from college. The look of the restaurant is similar, the old booths appear to stil be there & the layout was the same. The restaurant was somewhat busy at 6pm on a Friday evening but we were seated right away.

The service was great & there was a happy hour going on until 7pm so we got good drink specials on my wine & my husbands mixed drink. The restaurant had a lot of couples & families with older children but was also kid friendly for us, we brought our 1 year old & they gave her crayons & something to color.

The food was really good. I ordered the crawfish "lousiana lobster roll" with a side of parmesan truffle fries. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place for an affordable, unique dining experience.

We will definitely be back to try their brunch on the weekend!

Fried pickles.

I've always been fascinated by these, have ordered them whenever I've seen 'em, and ... have always been disappointed. State fairs? Soggy, salty mess. Various diners across the south? Hideous.

These guys have a fried pickle & jalapeño appetizer that's OUTSTANDING. Served with a sriracha aioli. Perfectly fried-to-order pickle chips that hold their light crusting, rubbing up against jalapeño slices in a tight little basket of awesome. With sauce.

Thought Toast was a very good place to have dinner in the West End. Started out with Shrimp & Crab Nachos - definitely recommend it. Dinner has the Grilled Avocado and Corn Chip salad and that was also very good. Will definitely be going back.

Awesome selection of craft beers on draft as well.
