Experience Through Their Eyes

Classic home cooking in the parish...but this place is hard to beat!! I ordered the Friday special--shrimp pasta with 2 big catfish filets, corn and garlic bread. That meal was fire!!! And plenty enough to share! The wife had a cup of gumbo(it was more like a bowl!) that was FULL of chicken and sausage!! The employees were super friendly and the prices were very fair. Don't sleep on this place.

Stopped here for shrimp because of the reviews. I ordered fried shrimp and it comes with more French fries than you can eat and a piece of bread. Food was hot and good! Glad I stopped to try it while camping at St Bernard's State Park.

I tried the birria tacos today, they were recommended by the chef. Great customer service, super sweet owners. These birria tacos were the best I have ever had!! (That says a lot!!) Every month I will be looking for more. I want to think you for recommending them, I am soooo happy you did
