The first thing I noticed about the Moonshine Grill on Red River was the cute exterior and interior. Indoor/outdoor and outdoor covered seating with heaters!
The restaurant plays rock-style music, at least while we were there. Cool atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. The waitress was super nice. She was the one with pink hair. I was impressed she asked first thing about food allergies. I think this should be standard in the food industry.
The waitress brought us free seasoned popcorn. My friends ordered fried green tomatoes (5-6 pieces) and cat head biscuits(3 biscuits). Both were pretty good! The fried green tomatoes had shrimp and lots of flavoring. The biscuits had a nice preserve and were very filling. I ordered the chicken and waffles. This isn’t something I usually order but I thought I would try, the waffles were very fluffy and the chicken was fried and seasoned well. There was syrup and gravy on the plate as well. I mixed and dipped into all of them. I was satisfied. My friend got blackened cat fish and grits. The grits were one of the best ones I have had and I’m from the South so I’ve tasted quite a bit. They gave us cornbread muffins that were slightly spicy so I assume they have jalapeños in them but they were good, not dry.
Overall, I would go back again and again. It’s definitely comfort food and the chicken and waffles were the best.
