    a tray of fried food

    Great food! Had to stop and try the crab poppers, soft shell crab and kickin shrimp Po boy. All was excellent!

    This place is a great little place to eat along the side of the road. Their kickn shrimp poboy is amazing, definitely gonna go back with the family next time we're down in that neck of the woods. You could definitely taste the freshness in the seafood, didn't have to wait long for the order and there was ample seating. While the portion was somewhat small, definitely makes up for it in the flavor of each bite.

    This was a tasty and fun stop along our scenic drive. From all the good reviews I saw on yelp I decided to stop, glad we did! It was hot and fresh, the fish had a really nice light batter. Thanks for the excellent food!

    We took the creole nature trail from Texas through Louisiana and Anchors Up was along the trail. The building itself didn't look like much but the food was great and the staff were super friendly. We felt very welcome here and like we were part of the family. My father had the burger and he was very impressed, I had the BLT it was loaded with bacon, my husband had the po boy shrimp sandwich which was full of flavor, my daughter and picky eater had chicken tenders she ate every last one. It was a great stop on our vacation from Indiana through Louisiana.

    we stopped for lunch here today as we traveled the Creole Nature Trail. Had the shrimp basket and kicken shrimp po-boy with onion rings. Food was hot and tasted great. Very friendly service. Don't let looks deceive you. Highly recommend it.

    Best seafood by far in this little spot. I loved it. It's a little expensive but the food is so worth it.

    1) this place is NOT a drive-in. It used to be a long time ago…read more 2) outside seating only...and the picnic tables are filthy and decaying. The staff clearly NEVER bother to wipe them off. Birds and stray cats are assigned that duty. 3) the food is NOT fresh. This is a fast food burger joint and everything is clearly kept in the freezer. 4) not a stop for anyone who cares about what they put in their body. Aside from the poor food options, the ice cream and drinks are all filled with fake ingredients. 5) The staff is friendly, but the service is gawd-awful S-L-O-W.... Gas stations on the interstate have MUCH better offerings....

It's just like kind of your typical drive-in with young people working who are all very nice and eager to help. With the help of the cashier, we got the bacon cheeseburger, the sweet potato fries, and the ham and cheese, which was recommended by someone else we had met earlier. I gotta say the burger was very respectable and I do definitely recommend it. No issues with small portions here it was well sized and appropriate. The sweet potato fries were very good as well. The ham and cheese wasn't as phenomenal as I was told it would be, it's like a warm sub with tomatoes and lettuce inside, but it was still pretty solid and if your ham and cheese person, then you would definitely like it. They have a lot of shakes flavors and an assortment of other burgers and sandwiches. If I lived in this area, I would definitely go back here.

    Jenn’s Southern Kitchen - Pork Chop plate with a scoop out of the mashed potatoes

    Jenn's is a no frills cafe attached to a no frills "casino" (converted warehouse with poker…read moremachines) There is no ambiance. Take out is encouraged. I grabbed a couple of piping hot crawfish pies, not because I like crawfish pie, but because I would love to find one that was as good as it sounds. The search continues. While the pie crust was superb, and price was very reasonable, filling was skimpy. Given that I'm not a huge fan of crawfish, perhaps the hint of filling was better.

    I gave this little hole in the wall place 5 starts because of the amazing food & service.

This place has been here for a while and they just want to serve a good meal with no frills. They'll promptly greet you when you walk in the door. Take a seat and make your pick off the menu. We opted to share the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes & green beans. Portions were plentiful and they were kind enough to split the portions in the kitchen before serving so we each got our own plate full of deliciousness. These are real homemade sides, nothing out of a can! The green beans were soft and flavorful and the mashed taters were fluffy and thick that would stick to the ceiling if you tossed them up! Lol! Try the cracklins! OMG! Fresh made to order! Buy by the lb of specific dollar amount. Overall a delicious food experience. We will definitely be stopping in again when in the area. Don't be put off by the location (it's next to a small casino), you'll be glad you stopped in!
