What to Eat at Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake

The Rattlesnake has always been a great place to drink, especially when its roof is open in the summer, but it hasn’t exactly been known for its food. Newly-installed chef Brian Poe hopes to change that with the launch of Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake, his full menu revamp. Like the Rattlesnake’s previous incarnation, the menu focus here tilts Southwestern, though the dishes have been refined with standouts like celery root tempura fish tacos and Southern Comfort and coffee bean short rib tamales. Prices top out at $14 and the food goes well with drunkenness - still an important consideration at the Rattlesnake.
