The truth is, you don’t become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word “authentic” on your sign. When you’ve served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too.
Grilled, fried or on ice–there’s time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable.
We’ve spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It’s a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you’re always part of the family.

- LRLiz Riley5 days ago2.014.00 for a glass of wine😳. Bottle price 15.00 retail. 44.00 at Dons. Safe to say. Highway robbery. Too bad because staff is amazing. Won’t be back. Stop being ridiculous on wine prices. Your food is just ok so I am guessing that is why you overprice your wine.
- SPSonni ParkerNov 10, 20255.0Ordered shrimp, not schlong. Either way it was delicious! Hushpuppies were top tier
- DIDiann IrwinNov 4, 20255.0Our server, Denia, was an absolute delight! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made several suggestions according to our preferences. On my next visit I will definitely ask for Denia!
- AHAnita HutchinsonNov 1, 20255.0Thoroughly enjoyed lunch. Great selection of seafood as well as land lover food. The boudin balls and Red beans were excellent.
- WLwarner lasalaOct 29, 20251.0Ordered a seafood salad to go. When I got to my hotel after picking it up (3 min drive) my wife opened the container and took a bite of the seafood and it was rotten. We had just flown in and had driven from the airport. Tired and hungry, the suspicious strong fishy smell did not register right away that it was rotten. That first bite suddenly gave the realization that I just took a bite of rotten seafood. It is a shame that this was served from their kitchen because this is the recipe for food poisoning and cross contaminating other food items in the kitchen. If the chef and kitchen staff could not smell this foul odor, there is definitely something wrong and this makes me question food handling practices and quality control. Very disappointed and hopefully we don't get sick from the food.
