    Always a fun, festive time at Ye Ol College Inn. We bowled first then walked over with our family and dined early. The atmosphere is great and kid friendly. Oyster poboys was delicious and everyone was very happy with their dinner. I think it’s our new day after Christmas tradition!

    We like to come here when in town because it’s not touristy and the food is fresh, local and well prepared. The cocktail menu is seasonal and has lots of good classic choices. The fresh fish is always a goto for me and the Brussels sprouts as well. Don’t sleep on the crawfish mac- it is super good
