    Every single time I encounter them at a festival they're RUDE! I am consciously trying to support the black business, but do not appreciate who ever is representing the brand & the local festivals.

    I doubt I will be supporting the actual restaurant.

    11-28-2018...4:30 p.m. First time here
    Music playing through out OVO...I arrived just after the 4p.m. opening so there was juss one other person chilln at the bar...Quickly was greeted with a welcome to OVO...I went with my usual a cold Stella which is on their list of bottled beers for $3.00 O-yeah...I came here to catch a few highlights and have few cold ones but will have a food review soon...Seems to be a lot of seating but from the soundz of other reviews OVO can get pretty packed onna good nite...

    This is the second time that I have gone to this place. My cousins swear by the "fish bowl".

    Uh.. this is a place for the younger crowd. I definitely felt old in here. 21-30 age crowd maybe?

    Service was terrible. Took probably like an hour to get our  order of catfish? Not that crowded at the time.

    They do play hip hop/rap and have a live dj some nights.

    Maybe it was just our ages, but I felt out of place and bored to say the least.

    The food was good but not worth waiting almost an hour for.

    Not sure this is the place for me, but if you fit this age group, and you want to be seen, you will have a blast.

    I took my sister here for a paint night. The food was really good and servers were nice. I also liked that they were promoting local businesses by having other vendors in the restaurant during the paint night. Very laid back, chill place. The bar can use some better drinks though. I ordered one of the fishbowls and it looked like a big bowl of water with 5 gummy worms stuck at the bottom lol.. I'mma need this type of drink to have better presentation when u pay 50 bucks for it. Other than that I recommend this place.
