About the restaurant

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

Perfect brunch with best possible waitress, just right level of live music, very good food (love the sweet potato biscuits and gumbos), good table. Only regret is that we tried to add another table of family to our reservation but the app showed none available yet when we arrived at 11:00 am there were plenty of open tables so more family could have come. I think they must only allow so many tables to be reserved and save a lot for walk-ins. That’s good news for walk-in customers!
