What Amber Peyton doesn't like about The World Famous:
This used to be one of my go-to spots for affordable food and drinks in a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, my experience has taken a negative turn recently.

View all feedback. What User likes about The World Famous:
This is one of my favorite spots in the city! While the menu isn't extensive, everything they serve is delicious and unique, and their cocktail selection is really fun. It's also a popular local gathering place with an impressive event calendar. Just a heads up: if you're simply looking for a place to dine, make sure to check your schedule before getting your heart set on the chicken and waffle club! View all feedback.

Once inside, the place was quite crowded—not because of a large number of patrons, but because it was very small. As first-time visitors, we weren't sure whethe...
