Crooked Letter Kitchen Flowood — Restaurant in Flowood

Crooked Letter Kitchen in Flowood is a hidden gem. I started with the boudin egg rolls, and wow, the sauce both inside and on top was absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pickled cheese curds, which were perfect with just the right amount of chew, and the dipping sauce had that ideal balance of tang and horseradish kick.

We also ordered a trio of tacos: birria, shrimp, and ribeye. That ribeye taco was out of this world. The meat was so tender and flavorful that putting it on a taco almost felt criminal, in the best way. I just hope they never skimp on that quality of meat because it made the dish. The shrimp taco was cooked perfectly with great flavor, and the birria taco was impressive. I loved how they fried the cheese first before adding the meat. My only small complaint was that the dipping broth had a noticeable nutmeg note. It wasn’t bad, just not my personal taste in a Mexican-style dish.

And then came the bread pudding, easily some of the best I’ve ever had. There used to be a place around here years ago that might have competed, but they’re long gone, so Crooked Letter now holds the crown 🏆. The caramelized bourbon sauce formed this perfect crust, and I couldn’t stop eating it.

Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. My only wish is for better seating and a bar, because with food this good, you’ll want to hang...

I ordered pickup around 630 on a Saturday. Food was ready and waiting 20 minutes later. Server that helped me was very kind! Our order was packed correctly. My husband got a smashburger and enjoyed it. I really liked the fries! My daughter got the kids chicken - good, but nothing special. I got a steak taco, naked tamales, and boudin egg rolls. The steak in the taco was tender and well seasoned. The slaw was good, but I wish it had a bolder flavor. The tamales were delicious! I topped them with some Crystals hot sauce at home and they really hit the spot. The boudin eggrolls were good. I topped them with extra humpback sauce - a tangy sauce with a horseradish bite. The eggrolls were just a little chewy where I wanted them to be crunchy BUT that could very well be due to it being to-go. It's the risk you run ordering fried food for pick-up - not the restaurants fault at all. I would recommend grabbing those when you're dining in. We also had to try the bread pudding since it was so highly reviewed. It had great flavor but it was a little too sweet for me. There was also a little too much sauce - I think next time I'll ask if I can get that on the side. Overall, nice new restaurant...

So we ran it back to Crooked Letter Kitchen in Flowood. This time we dined in. The service was beyond superb! Every staff member left a lasting impression on my husband and myself. They visited with us and made sure we had EVERYTHING that we needed.

Yall!!!! PLEASE go try their Ribeye Taco!!!! It was so flavorful!!! My favorite component was the apple slaw that is garnished on top. It gave such a great flavor to this taco. Now I love me some Birria anything but I just didn’t care for theirs. It tasted like it was lacking seasoning on it. Now the look of it was great. Exactly how I would want mine to look. It just didn’t have the taste for me. The Boudin Eggrolls are simply amazing! I got my bread pudding to go. The staff swears by it, saying it is the best (and they don’t even care for bread pudding at all.) The vibe in the restaurant was magical. Such a great camaraderie. We are looking forward to...
