Absolutely delicious Louisiana food. First time trying seafood gumbo and it was amazing! So flavorful and warm, I recommend it!! The po' boy was also delicious, you'll always get your hands dirty with mayonnaise. I loved this place and I can't wait to go back. Come here for real local food.

Great poboys-tho I suggest ordering “French bread with NO seeds”. Pretty good hot meals, mostly a self service place. Order at the counter and pick up your food at a window in the seating area. Would not recommend the itallian dishes but would highly recommend everything else. Good seafood, great roast beefs and so casual it’s impossible not to feel comfortable. Despite the layout, it’s not a very noisy room. Ooh-almost forgot-probably the best fried chicken in town!! Seriously! Also, one of the few places you can still get a (great!) open face roast beef meal. A very ambitious menu that mostly nails it. And inexpensive.

7 days a week fantastic hot plates! Lunch and dinner specials that are great price and taste meals. Last but not least are the Roast Beef PoBoys that will knock your socks off! A must try place!

An amazing local eatery with the best of local food. The dining room is huge, and can accommodate folks with plenty of room to spread out as so much of their business is take out for the locals. The Monday special of red beans and rice with the option of subbing in a pork chop instead of the sausage was wonderful, it was hot, creamy, and satisfying, the pork chop was crisp around the edges, rich in just the right ways, and tender to the bite. The enormous catfish and fries was so good, the catfish so fresh and the batter so light, it was easy to actually eat it all. All the mains come with a salad of some sort, and the red beans and rice came with pillowy buttered bread. The service up front was quick, efficient, and very cheerful to fix mistakes. They'd forgotten to put the pork chop on the red beans and rice to start, and when it was pointed out they just went and fixed it.
