It also serves tamales--something New Orleanians know is just a quirky part of the city and was made famous by Manuel's Hot Tamales, founded in 1932. But this isn't about that. This is about an endearing shop that gets it right. And they start with the ONLY po boy bread worthy of greatness. Let's face it, if you put it on Leidenheimer's French bread that's half the original ticket. And believe me they get it right the rest of the way too. The fried shrimp and catfish 1/2 and 1/2 was perfectly seasoned with just the right cream meal to allow the flavor of the sweet fresh shrimp and the Mississippi catfish to stand out as the star of the show. I had it dressed and it done just right. Since it was Monday, the special was Red Beans with an old school favorite of pork chop--something real Coonie's know about and not so often seen anymore. Community Iced tea with fresh lemon slices cooled me down with self service and friendly table service refills. Order at the counter and they bring it to ya if you eat inside. The menu is extensive and the portions generous. I saw the biggest piece of mac and cheese I have ever seen--it took up the whole plate. So did the gravy fries which were an enormous mound of serious chow down. The prices are on the chalk board so I'm sure for seasonal items the prices or availability may change. The cost was well worth it and was within the norm for the menu (even on the cheaper side), however the amount of groceries given pushed the value way up. Same for the service; everyone was very friendly and accommodating and eager to make sure you had what you needed without hovering over you. They were genuinely thoughtful and proud of their place. I met Chef Val the owner and I gotta tell ya he was one of the nicest guys I have ever met--very humble, hard working and friendly; also a Veteran like myself so happy to support a Veteran owned business. He showed me around a bit and we two seasoned chefs exchanged kitchen stories. This guy is the real deal. You're gonna get fed and be taken care of when you come--it's the type of personal character that sticks with his people even when he's not there. I was really impressed with the place and I plan to return again and again. I gotta get into those tamales!

Excellent! We ordered two roast beef po-boys, a small muffuletta and the crawfish egg rolls. The small muffuletta was huge and the po-boys dripping with delicious au jus. Ordered three egg rolls which were tasty and more than I could eat. Lot of great New Orleans favorites that can be ordered. Definitely worth your time.

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love and pride that goes into every detail.

It's the kind of place where they remember you, greet you warmly, and serve each meal with care.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy great food, great people, and a truly heartwarming dining experience.

It is tucked into a little strip shopping center with a Pizza Hut and a Jujitsu school. The parking lot is very dark and there is no signage out by the road so it's difficult to see until you are right on top of it. I was watching for it and still missed the first parking lot entrance in the dark and almost went into the ditch. Crisis averted. I made it OK. Inside, the restaurant was spacious and open and it felt a lot bigger than it is. It was not busy, so there was no wait for a table. Wood paneling on the walls, county music playing, it was comfortable inside. The servers were friendly and took my order right away. My food came out quickly and everything was correct. I had an oyster po-boy and it was as good as any I have had around here. It was a little pricey for what I got, but it wasn't overpriced either. The price of oysters fluctuates wildly, so there's no way to really know the price ahead of time unless you call. They had a number of daily specials advertised on various boards around the restaurant. I need to go back sometime to try some of those. Overall, no complaints. Food was good, the place was comfortable, the servers were friendly. Highly recommended. Solid four stars.

We were there in May for a celebration of several birthdays that had taken place in the past months.

The staff was unbelievable. They were tremendously patient and very efficient. The food was outstanding, especially the pasta and seafood dishes. This place is always a favorite.

I ordered the chile relleno and and the first time I ordered it, it wasnt cooked all the way so I had to send it back. I should have switched my order to something else because when it came back it was cooked more but the breading for some reason was still almost raw. I dont know what was going on. I think this place caters to gringos so I should have ordered a more Americanized meal and it would have been better. The owners could not have been any nicer and I am willing to try it again.
