The pork was hot, crispy, and tasted fresh. It had a homemade flavor, and our server confirmed the tenderloins are made in-house. Our server was friendly, attentive, and somehow managed the entire restaurant with ease. In a time when restaurant prices seem to keep climbing, we found the food to be very reasonably priced. We didn't order drinks, but their drink prices also looked quite reasonable. If you enjoy shooting a game of pool while relaxing with a cold brew, this would make a great weekend destination. Reminder this is a garage, but that contributes to the atmosphere. (It's casual with a good vibe) Between the excellent food, fair prices, and welcoming atmosphere, we'll definitely be back.

We'd arrived in St Joseph, Missouri around 1:15p to have lunch at a little German restaurant we'd…read moreheard about; only to find their hours were a bit unconventional (11:30am thru 1:30pm Monday to Friday &closed Sat & Sun). I couldn't believe what I was seeing on their webpage, so I phoned the restaurant directly - once in town. The woman on the phone was extremely pleasant, yet informed me the hours posted were in fact correct, and that they were a small family owned place with limited help, so they'll seat their last customer at 1:15pm. I explained we'd just driven into town from Blue Springs specifically to eat there, thanked her for the clarification, then told her we'd return to dine there sometime soon. She was still kind enough to direct us to a couple other establishments in town that would promise a good experience; and she wasn't wrong. We'd decided we'd stop at Boudreaux's... They're a Louisiana style seafood & steak place. Known by the locals to be frequented by quite a few of the Kansas City Chiefs players from time to time. Ironically, we were within 400 feet of it when I looked it up. It was literally on the corner of the street we were on. So, we parked and went in. The interior was a little dark and kind of dated looking. It had a mezzanine that overlooked the lower dining area, and the black metal rails were decorated with the traditional fleur-de-lis symbols within it's panels, and they were scattered about the inside and outside of the building. It definitely reminded you of a little place you'd encounter on a visit to Mardi gras. Actually, come to think about it, it was exactly what you'd imagine a little place like this would look like inside if you were on Bourbon Street in Louisiana. We ordered a cup of Crab Bisque soup, which was divine! It arrived with a scoop of white rice and sour dough bread rounds. We'd also ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken balls; which were made with Cajun mashed potatoes & chicken, formed into golf ball sized balls and fried to perfection, then served with a special Cajun style creamed gravy sauce. That was also very tasty! Next, our entrees... We'd ordered the Seafood Jambalaya with a side of garden vegetables. This dish was slightly seafood forward, containing a trio of catfish, shrimp, and crawfish; it was layered amongst the usual Jambalaya suspects - of delicately steamed rice, seasoned tomato sauce and finished with traditional Cajun seasonings... add in the tri colored sweet pepper strips (cooked perfectly) and you have a very memorable lunch experience. I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken smothered in their own version of "creamed gravy" but it was more like a complex Cajun cream sauce, served with Dirty Rice on the side. Again, undeniably delicious. It was perfectly breaded and expertly fried. We ordered quite a few items so we'd have the opportunity to experience some while there, and still have plenty to take home. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone wishing to have an authentic Cajun/Creole style meal.

The waitresses, know their jobs, they are constantly coming around and checking on their tables no matter how busy they are asking if anything is needed, if everything is ok, etc. The food is delicious to say the least. Even the BLT has more B on it than I've seen any place have in a very long time. The place itself is very clean and well maintained, especially for as busy as they stay all the time. I give kudos to Kyle, Whitney and Kyle Jr. for the jobs they do with that business! Sarah, Taylor, Liv and Cass are some of the best waitresses around.

Our service was faulty. An extra side dish was accidentally sent out on my partner's plate, and the wait staff said, "oops!", removed it off of his plate, and served it to the person sitting behind us. I think it is rude to remove food off of a customer's plate, even if it is an accidental extra. But especially poor procedure to then serve that to another customer. The menu on their Facebook was not current, and what I had been very excited to order was no longer in their printed menu. The current menu was less thrilling. My club sandwich a good size. They allowed customization. I felt my sandwich was of average restaurant value, perhaps a bit better value. The 3 breaded fish basket and fries was not impressive. Very basic. The fries are breaded fries. (I personally like that style) I do not think it was a good value for cost. Very basic restaurant, nice atmosphere with a poor first time experience due to singular wait staff and out of date menu online.

The pickles were really good. There were two huge pieces of fish on the bun. So if you're looking for quantity, this would work well for you. It had a little tartar sauce on the top and bottom but I would have enjoyed a lot more tartar sauce. The fish was fried. It was hot. But it was just ok. It was the kind of batter that gets a little gummy between the crust and fish. So if texture bothers you, def get something else. I have to say that I despised the coleslaw. It was really gross. It tasted "off" in a way that is very difficult to describe. It's like it was tossed with a metal spoon and I can taste it. But then I was trying to identify the off flavor... I think it has too much powdered garlic. Garlic has no business being in coleslaw. This is the mass produced really cheap grade school coleslaw that's also too sweet. I'm admittedly a coleslaw snob and when I asked if the coleslaw is on the sweet side, she said it wasn't. What she really meant is that she's never tried it because she hates cabbage. I should have gotten tater tots. I was trying to find something not fried. She did offer to replace it, but I didn't need anything--that was very nice and unexpected. My husband thought his spicy chicken sandwich was ok and his French fries were very good. He had so many fries that I ate them too and we still had some left! I'll try breakfast next time.
