Very quiet place to go have a nice meal. Food was very good, seafood, platter grilled. Has the best sweet potato.
Needs more stars than 5!! OUTSTANDING service from our waitress Quan and OMG the food was fantastic!
Was in town for a training class and decided to stop in for dinner. Our server was fantastic, we had the Super Seafood Platter and a bowl of gumbo. Everything was great and the deep fried bell pepper was amazing. I would have liked to seen the breading have a little more seasoning but everything else made up for it. Very nice place to eat if in town.
Very good family run restaurant since 1937. Old school in a very good way. They have very good crawfish bisque and the chicken and sausage gumbo is authentic and made with hens. Still family run and great food and service.
