    Hamburger Steak
    Terry E.

    Outstanding dinning experience. Super good food. Clean comfortable environment. Friendly staff

    Two eggs and hash browns
    Scott T.

    We met there for a business call and had coffee and some light breakfast items. Oatmeal, Eggs and hash Browns and their croissant beignets! I enjoyed my coffee and relaxed while waiting for my guests. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We placed our orders and were served fairly quick. Definitely a neat diner with a history!

    Great experience as always, if you have any issues just call or speak up. They will resolve.

    Omelette
    Connor A.

    The beignets were great very airy, not too sweet make sure to eat them fresh. The omelette was create your own but good ingredients overall. The French toast had a very prominent vanilla flavor and was very sweet but very good. The burrito chimichanga style was amazing. The burrito was very greasy should come with some salsa on the side too to cut through that. The side of hash browns was the real star in all honesty so airy and crispy the best I've ever had. The service was quick and constant attention. The tables are weirdly close together which is interesting.

    Bowl of Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
    The F.

    This place is so good. Feels like your at your friends house getting a bite to eat with your crew. I sat at the bar and loved seeing how the employees interacted with all the customers. The place has a great diner vibe. It's perfect for feeling welcome. Now for the food.... I had the chicken and sausage gumbo two days in a row I enjoyed it so much. The first night I had red Beans and Rice which was really good especially paired with the Gator Sausage. The second day I had the shrimp and angel hair pasta in a really good cream sauce. I almost licked the plate clean.... While I didn't have a lot of time to try several places I would say this is the place to eat in the area hands down!!!

    Onion rings
    Lucas G.

    The onions rings here are amazing! The servers are pretty good they're nice and friendly. They have a long bar to sit at and a few booths I think and tables. We sat in a corner where the walls were pretty nasty, like they never clean this place at all. The garlic cheese bread was good but the "marinara" that it came with didn't quite taste like any marinara sauce I've ever had. Almost tasted Mexican like- it was strange but it wasn't bad. I got the crazy Cajun poboy which is hot sausage and fried shrimp...not a fan. I don't think those 2 things combine together too well in one, but the shrimp was good, and the sausage was ok. They definitely have some very unique menu items, combining foods together like I've never heard. I encourage others to go get their own opinion but I wasn't crazy for this spot

    I've been having to cut back on fried/greasy/fatty foods lately, so I was excited to see that this place offers grilled and blacked options for some entries. I placed my to-go order over the phone easily enough, and has only a brief wait when I arrived before my food was ready. I got the blackened catfish with corn and rice & gravy, plus bread pudding for dessert. The fish was well cooked, nicely seasoned, and refreshing for not being fried. The bread pudding was very tasty too, with strawberries, blueberries, and white chocolate. If you're looking for seafood but don't want it fried (or boiled), give this place a try.

    This is the perfect spot to come here with the family for some breakfast. You can tell a lot of the locals love this place. We had a 30 minute wait for breakfast and everyone was willing to wait because the food is that good. The grits here are pretty good too!

    I got a handful of fries ...

    I've only gotten takeout i've never actually dined in so i can't say anything abt the customer service & personally the food is really good but the prices for what you're getting are unreal. Here i got 2 BLT Sandwiches with a side of fries & it was 19.45$ . Both my Sandwiches looked like that picture & a handful of fries ... Really. All for a good price of 19.45$ Unbelievable. This whole meal is maybe 12$ at best.

    Chicken fried chicken meal - enough to feed 2 people!
    Destination Not Required B.

    I regret I didn't find this place till my last day here! Busy with locals, fantastic food, large portions, good prices, and classic dinner vibe! Went around 1030 and got their chicken fried chicken. Well cooked, crispy coating, Cajun gravy that wasn't too much or too spicy. Came with 3 eggs, grits and a biscuit. For &20 I have breakfast and lunch. Looking forward to making my way back here to try some of their other items, for sure!!

    Chicken and waffles

    The chicken had a maple with bacon taste with outside being nice and crispy. Comes with a side of 2 eggs. Serving size is big enough for 2 people.

    Rubbery eggs and toast.

Table & chairs available to sit & eat. Food was ready quick & I'm not sure about the prices but everything is higher than snoop dogg right now. A Co-worker chose this spot for lunch one day. I didn't take a minute to look at the menu to see if they served chicken tenders or not, i rather assumed... Anyways, they didn't serve "Chicken Tenders" but had some Chicken Breast left.. The lady treated me as any loving mother would a picky child.. She took the time she didn't have, the energy she didn't need to waste & the initiative to "make something shake" lol. I walked out with a chicken tender basket & a full stomach with food left over! I appreciate that & you more than you'll ever know for that small gesture of kindness, which was huge to me!

The food was good, so I looked forward to the day that he would open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Well here it is. I ordered the Wednesday special, which consisted of mustard greens over rice, cornbread dressing, and candied yams. It normally comes with baked chicken, but I paid $2 to upgrade to fried fish. The fish was maybe a smidge under salted, but better undersalted than over-salted, and it was otherwise good. The greens were good too, and I especially enjoyed the dressing and yams. My meal was roughly ~$14, which is really fair considering I'll be eating off of it twice. The staff was friendly and my food was ready fairly quickly. The restaurant is a bit bare looking inside, but it's casual and still very new. I will definitely be returning. #blackownedbusiness

    I've lived in the parish most of my life, so I've purchased food from here for years. Whether it…read morewas fish to take home to cook, boiled seafood, fried seafood plates, or even stuff from their cold section I've tried a good bit. Last Friday I went and got 2 stuffed crabs(in the picture). Initially I was like $13 for the two scoops of stuffed crab seemed high but I know crabmeat is expensive. Right when I was about to pay for my food the hot crawfish came out so I had to get a taste and ordered 3lbs. My total was about $33. Prices are cheaper if you pay with cash (they list the price with cash and the price if you are paying with card) so I'd say bring some cash. The crawfish were good as usual and were a nice size. Other things I've had in the past that I enjoyed were the crawfish fettuccini, shrimp poboy, fried fish plate, and potato salad. There is seating available inside but it's not a big place so a big group would probably need to get their food to go. Also this is a pretty popular place especially on Fridays so expect to wait in line or you can call and order your phone ahead of time (which I usually do).

    I've tried Today's Ketch before but I never tried their boiled seafood until this weekend. I had…read morecrawfish, snow crabs, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Everything was really good and flavorful. The seafood had a nice flavor without being too spicy. It wasn't spicy at all to me but it did have a little kick. The service was really good as well. We almost forgot our snow crabs but they made sure we got them! I know where to get some good boiled seafood now.

    The Real Deal - Still My Favorite After 9 Years…read more I wrote my first review for this place back in February 2017, and here we are in April 2026. After nine years of lunches and dinners, I just had to come back and say thank you. In a city that's constantly changing with fancy new tourist spots or quick grab and go windows, this place is a constant. It hasn't changed, and that's exactly why I love it. When I walk in and grab a seat, I feel right at home. It's casual, it's comfortable, and it's the real New Orleans. The food is just as good today as it was nearly a decade ago. I find myself constantly craving their po-boys and gumbo. Whether it's the hot fish, the stuffed peppers, or the mashed potatoes, you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients and a lot of love. The family that runs this business has a huge heart for the community, and it shows. If you are a local looking for authentic Cajun food that stays true to its roots, look no further. This is the kind of staple we are lucky to have.

    Don't sleep on this spot. I rarely say this but the gumbo fckn slaps. The beef pho is INCREDIBLE…read more I saw the sign in the window about them having pho and thought "why not try." I'm so glad I did. The guy working behind the counter told me they had just started doing something new. I don't know what they did, but it's absolutely astounding. Very rich (for a pho). TONS of beef. One bowl is enough for two people imo. The crawfish boudin is another standout menu option. When it warms up a bit I want to try their snowballs too!
