Kate F. • February 6, 2011Everything here is outstanding. Started with the smoked ribs, cabbage salad, and boudin. Followed with the cochin and smothered greens. Finished up with absurd carrot cake. This place is a MUST

Michael H. • March 14, 2020The French toast is amazing. Try the Bloody Mary with gin, slight twist on a classic.

Cole T. • June 12, 2017The chicken fried steak was to die for. Old school hip-hop blasted in the small quarters; super hipster but a true gem.

Kika G. • March 24, 2014Try to maximize what you can taste from the menu because ALL of it is amazing. Pounded shrimp + noodles, crawfish bisque, and swordfish + farro w. peanut vinagarette, are keepers. Don't miss the pie!

C S. • April 22, 2019Amazing, healthy breakfast/lunch spot. Personal favourite is the sweet mint smoothie. Can’t go wrong with any of the food - it’s all delicious. Good vegetarian options.

Jesse L. • July 13, 2021A truly unique dining experience inside an old church with live piano music. Get the shrimp in Calabrian chili oil, and the gulf fish. The classic cocktails are also great.

Jenna N. • May 8, 2010Blueberry mojito is the way to go!

Stephen S. • June 23, 2015Keeping the tiki tradition alive with a slew of tiki drinks and island eats. Sit at the bar and enjoy.

Ersin S. • April 27, 2019Best Po Boys in town. Away out from the city but worth the trip. The bar inside is a cool spot to grab a beer and a Po Boy. If you sit at the bar, you’d also skip long line. Highly recommended!
