I always stop here when in NOLA. The boudin balls are absolutely amazing! Also loved the shrimp burger and red beans & rice. Careful with the margaritas; they'll sneak up on you.

This happy wife is pleased to eat in a NOLA restaurant that is good, inexpensive and has light fair after a day of eating rich at French Quarter Fess. Love this restaurant.

You can hear a conversation with your table mates. Noise level is acceptable. Just ask the wife seen here enjoying my company.

This place must get its name because you order one thing but get "somethin else." Otherwise my alligator corn dog was really good and the staff is polite.

Shrimp and Grits are a MUST!! Try The Classic too (biscuit smothered in gravy and sausage).

The Cochon Biscuit melts in your mouth: a perfect blend of sweet and savory.

Marinated grilled chicken is awesome. Oatmeal is way too sweet. Build your own salads are good and the bacon vinagrette is yummy!

Shrimp and grits. Just sayin'.
Tracy GokceSeptember 23, 2014
The food is uniquely prepared, however, unfortunately has no flavor. Also, coffee is not recommended here.
Ali GokceSeptember 23, 2014
Food looks very presentable but no taste. Coffee needs to be improved !!
Chloe BetzenJune 5, 2014
Not the cleanest bathroom but it could be worse. Squatting is recommended over sitting.
Matthew HMarch 22, 2011
Shrimp and grits = awesome.
Taryn Vander HoopJune 2, 2014
Worst food our our entire trip (everywhere else was amazing!) and the bathroom was REALLY REALLY NASTY.
Edgar SarmientoJune 26, 2010
Great Cobb salad.
April DeeMay 30, 2011
Not sure if it was because I went during Mardi Gras season or not, but this place is an outrageously over priced tourist trap.
MichelleMay 4, 2012
Don't get the crawfish. Or the fries. Terrible service in general.
