There's lots of parking which is really nice! The menu is full of classic Southern comfort food, like fried chicken, meatloaf, pork chops, and plenty of sides. We had a group of four and everyone got the $10 lunch plate special which comes with one meat and two sides (+cornbread)! Honestly I don't know of many places that have such a great lunch special. I got the catfish with mac and cheese and collard greens, and Nate got fried chicken (choice of a leg, thigh, or wing) with green beans and mac and cheese. Others in our group got the meatloaf. Service was very friendly and welcoming! Order at the counter and they'll bring your food out. The wait is well worth it because their catfish is the best I've had - it was super crispy on the outside, with tender, perfectly seasoned, flaky fish. I love the collard greens and the mac and cheese is creamy and delicious. It's a very generous portion of food for only $10, you really can't beat it. I loved this meal and will definitely be back for another $10 lunch plate! I'd love to try their pork chops soon.

This has shrimp and crayfish smothered in a rich Cajun sauce over rice. The shrimp were very large and delicious. The whole dish was perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It was the perfect portion size as I was stuffed. I also ordered their Louisiana Albita Root Beer ($4). How have I never heard of this brand, it is fantastic. One of the best Canned Root Beers I've had. The service was very good. Super friendly and efficient. The only advice I could give was my waitress needs to speak up, she had too quite a voice. The cook and also a manager or owner came out and asked how everything was. Excellent, you guys are doing something the right way. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! New Orleans cuisine done right.

The chicken was good but I liked the fries. They were large potato wedges that filled the hungry stomach. Atmosphere: currently indoor dining seems an unattractive option with no outdoor dining.

We ordered the hottest chicken sandwich, which in my opinion had great flavor but I wouldn't say it's overwhelmingly hot. The jalapeño corn bread is deliciously sweet and moist. Pair it with their butter, that's chef's kiss. We also had an order of the chicken and waffles. Honestly, I think the waffles might be my favorite thing on the menu. It has this caramelized top layer that provides a satisfying crunch with each bite and it's as dense as a piece of cake. Highly recommend. It's a cute little restaurant with a darling outside, perfect place for lunch or a summer night. The service is always top notch.

The slushies in the flight are tiny, each is in a shot glass. Expected them to be a bit bigger but they were still tasty. The John Daily was the best. They have non alcoholic slushies as well. We got my 2 year old a Shirley Temple slushy which he was obviously a big fan of. Food was excellent. We got the loaded fries which I will definitely get again. I ordered tenders meal and got mac and cheese with it which was very good. They also have family meals which are take out only. We will likely do one of those next time.

Store was open on 2nd try. First impression: Empty. Lights are off. Dark inside. One friendly man running the show. Smells delicious. Greeted promptly. Store quiet, except for quiet talking among clientele. There were other customers already ordering. I ordered jerk chicken and curry chicken. $16 each meal. Chef disappeared into the dark kitchen. Order took about 10 minutes. Jamaican trinkets were on sale in a glass case. Bob Marley earrings, etc. Huge airbrush mural on the wall was nice. *Some quiet reggae music would have added to the ambiance. I took my food home and split the 2 orders 3 ways with my 2 teenagers. The CHICKEN was very tender, almost too tender. Nice flavor. Dryer than I expected. Jerk flavor was preferred, but curry was also good. (Better cold) COLE SLAW was great with a fresh citrus taste. The RICE was thick and pasty like oatmeal, and had some fruits in it. It took up half the tray, and most of it landed in the trash. Even The donut or CARNIVAL, is interesting, as were the plantains. We are not familiar with Jamaican cuisine, so can't judge it for authenticity. The flavor was a nice experience, but not really our thing. Good luck. Nice guy! I'm probably just too Caucasian for this place. ;-)
