The Boll Weevil Cafe And Sweetery

Had lunch at this restaurant in downtown. It was very good. Quickly missed, beautiful server, delicious food (especially soups and desserts). The building has been in the family for four generations. Near the river and opposite the Marriott. Would it really go to eat again or at least to go some cake!!

Very good food , I had the Gumbo and corn chowder soup that was out of this world! They serve the gumbo in those bowls with the hump in the middle that only gives you the feeling you are getting more visually. But you are not, and feeling ripped off. Stop that! The waiters could be nicer, not so what do you want attitude.

This is a cute place close to the riverfront with great service. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were delicious and I loved the dipping sauce. Then I got the Boll Weevil salad and my partner got the jerk chicken sandwich. The sandwich was good and so was the pasta salad, but the boll weevil salad ingredients didn't all mesh together. It tasted like the ingredients could have created two separate salads. The cornbread it came with was delicious though. We did also get cake and pie to go which were absolutely amazing and I would definitely return for more desserts.

Cute place! I bet the desserts are to die for. But we came here to eat dinner. Nothing special really. To start, we ordered the fried green tomatoes. I liked it. Never had it before. For our dinner, I ordered the soup and salad combo. Chili and house salad. The Chili could’ve been warmer, but delicious. My husband ordered the jerk chicken plate. Way too seasoned…to the point your mouth twitches. I would definitely come to just get dessert.

My turkey soup was awesome, service staff was very friendly attentive and I adore the canary lemon cake. I would have given them 5 stars but unfortunately the shrimp grits lacked in flavor. But overall it was a great experience.
