The food here is ALWAYS amazing. I can literally say I have never had any issues when eating here. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything you order. The owners and employees are always nice, polite and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a good home cooked meal or if you are not from the area and are looking for real authentic cajun cooking this is definitely worth a stop. I eat here pretty regularly since I live right down the street from here... You definitely won’t be disappointed

If you are looking for real authentic Creole Soul Food, this is that place! The bold Creole seasoning is a dead giveaway to where these dishes come from. Makes me feel like I’m home! I must say, the best dishes are always the first ones to run out!

Came for the first time on 6-2-23 at approx. 11:10 The menu items are posted on a board...and it is very visible! (Thank you for that.) The serving staff is VERY EFFICIENT! I ordered the shrimp stew with broccoli and cheese and potato salad--all very delicious! an order of crawfish etouffee, too--yum! I can't wait to come back and try other items they may have...like the okra and hamburger steak. The only items that I didn't think were top notch were the desserts. The red velvet cake was maybe a 1.5/5 and the lemon cake slice maybe at...2/5. I also saw a coconut slice of cake, too.

I ordered the Fried Shrimp plate with the sides of sweet peas and mashed potatoes (no gravy). I also got a strawberry cheesecake! The food was so delicious and flavorful and the cheesecake was AMAZING
