The wait staff was very attentive. Food was everything I remember and more. The catfish and girts appetizer was a great beginning to what turned out to be a meal that will have us visiting again and again.

My family treated me to Brigtsen's for Mother's Day. (This is the first chance I've had to remark on it.) We hadn't been in a while, but the food was more than expected and the ambience perfect for the day. We'll return for sure.

Carrollton stay youthful, cosmopolitan and vibrantly
fun. Two of the liveliest thoroughfares for nightlife
