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.

My experience was great! Our food was yummy, drinks were bomb, waitress was top tier always apologizing for what she thought was delays but it actually wasn’t long lol the only issue was the floors in the middle area was extremely slippery. Like I had to walk very very careful and just as I said I didn’t want to fall and elderly woman fell : ( I went over to assist. I do not recall any member of management coming out to check on her or speak with her
