Reviews
I have a lot of unique features such as a table in the corner with a sign over at the test worst seat in the restaurant with a percentage off of your entries if you sit there.
They also have an oyster bar, a Thursday special in the evenings: $10 for a burger and a loaded potato, and a breakfast buffet 7- 11:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.
We have been wanting to try it for a couple of years and finally got there this weekend. I had the crocafella omelette which is crab meat spinach and artichoke and it was amazing. The potatoes are cut and roasted, and delicious,but they also offer grits on the side.
The menu is very diverse and offers both classics and original local themed cuisine. Prices are super reasonable but not cheap because the food is really good.
While I didn’t see a gluten-free menu, I have celiac and I had no issues with my order …obviously I didn’t order a bread on the side.
We will absolutely be back to try lunch, kind of sorry we waited so long to try it!
The staff welcomed us with genuine smiles, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and every bite of food reminded us that we’d found something special. The seafood omelet? Absolutely incredible, hands down my new favorite dish.
Now, Sunday mornings have a whole new meaning for us. What used to be just another drive-by has become our new tradition, a place where great food meets heartfelt comfort.
I ordered the seafood gumbo recently for a party. It was a hit!
But the chicken was the real star of the show, crispy and golden fried on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. I literally haven’t had chicken this good since my childhood. Better than any famous chain, you might go to in Louisiana. This is old-school New Orleans cooking. Like something, your grandmother would make for you when you had a bad day.
Highly recommend! Thank Chef Sean!!
Service was excellent.
They have a breakfast buffet and all day breakfast on the weekends.
