Oh my good golly. This place is absolutely phenomenal. The mufs and jamb were so flavorful and a perfect touch of Nola vibes, this is true creole. You can pick your spice level on the jambalaya. We went with 3 and it was enough to make your lips tingle while still being able to deeply enjoy the flavors. Fresh chips and red beans & rice, drool worthy. Staff, especially Sam, were so kind and amazing. She did great with keeping up on my drinks(im a guzzler) and suggestions on dishes. Give this…

I went in for breakfast and got the two egg breakfast Got my eggs scrambled with cheese, grits, bacon, French bread, & home fries. I ordered some beignets. I also got some French toast on the side. Everything was delicious . The French toast is actually the best Ive ever had and they make it with the French bread which is brought in fresh every day from local bakery’s. The home fries are great. The beignets are fluffy and delicious as well and the staff is really nice. I also got a drink…

I had one of the worst days ever today extremely challenging, and I needed something for my SOUL. Not just food. Nourishment. I’ve been to New Orleans five times and I will continue to go! It is my happy place. I walked in tonight to get some crawfish 🦞 étouffée to go. I was greeted with such warmth and welcome that I sat at the bar to wait and the tall, beautiful, vivacious, bartender made me a lemon drop while I waited to help me take the edge off of my really challenging day of plumbing…

I went to this place because a friend suggested to me. I ordered some gumbo, a perch meal, chicken audouille Jambalaya and some beignets. Man was I blown away with everything! The jambalaya was so damn spicy on a good side and the rest was history. I will be going back for more this week.

Started with the gator bites then enjoyed the gumbo - dark roux with strong flavors - delicious. Jonathan helped us out - good advice and attentive service.
