Lafayette yall got a gold mine here. After hearing about this place for years, seeing the reviews…read morefrom big influencers, and my patience wearing thin of not trying this place, I finally got here! We got here not too far after opening. There was a short line and it moved quick. I ordered my items and sat down to hear my name. When I opened the plates I knew I was in the right place. The fish is fried perfectly. The chicken as well though I could have used a little more seasoning. Sides were good. But that turkey wing. My hubs took one bite. Looked at me and smiled. I knew it was on. I don't even really like turkey but I would eat three of those happily for thanksgiving. If you see the turkey wing get it! Can't wait for my next trip back.

They only had a few meats left when we got there and one of them was the stuffed turkey wings, which was highly recommended. It was cool, but nothing like I expected. I thought it would be packed with flavor, but I needed that Louisiana red rooster hot sauce for the extra flavor which I thought would have been marinated in the meat. The star of the show was that okra seafood stew. That was a 10 out of 10 for me! We got the cabbage, but I have never in my life had sweet sugary cabbage. That threw me totally off! My brother loved it and it's definitely an acquired taste. Not for me at all. We had about three hours till closing, and there was a small line so the place does great business and people love it. If I were ever back in Lafayette, I would definitely come back to try something different.

I love how this place is located right within the McComb-Veazay neighborhood in Lafayette. With a…read morediverse menu of daily plate lunches, burgers, fried pork chop sandwich, Frito pies and much more. The pricing is good, on the cheap side and everything is cooked well. I had the Fritos with chili and cheese. The chili had a homemade quality, not made with anything canned. It was a nice inexpensive snack since I didn't want a full-out meal. However I did try my friend's freshly made onion rings covered in cheese and that was GOOD! My friend and I picnicked at the one table in front of the building under a tree. It was a lovely lunch. I took a star off because quite a few things here and there were unavailable. In fact, my Frito pie was supposed to be made with two bags but they only had one bag left (which worked out because I kinda expected just one bag but still lol)

I grew up eating smothered cooking multiple times a week and since my grandma passed I haven't had it and it's been a real devastation. Glenda's smothered ribs took me right back to lunch with Grandma. I cried. This is AUTHENTIC home Louisiana cooking! Compared to anything in New Orleans this is the meal I was craving to come back too! Glenda has such a kind heart and it shows in her cooking. I can't wait to come back!

There's nothing wrong with being a hole in the wall business, because I've found that those are usually the hidden gems; however, there must be a point where you need to take a step back & put yourself into the customer's shoes & see what they see. Had I not read the good reviews about the food, I would've walked right back out. I just kept an open mind & gave it a chance. It really needs a good de-cluttering, organizing & cleaning - there was just stuff everywhere. One can only think that if it looks that way to the public, how does it look where the food is prepared? The food wasn't bad though; I had the smothered ribs which were really tender, and my husband enjoyed the red beans. I really wanted to like the corn but it was a little too spicy for me, which is what you'd expect for Cajun food of course! Glenda & her employee were both very nice. Although I'm not from this area, I don't think I'd return if I was until it had a much needed overhaul.
