Description

Nestled in a charming atmosphere, this restaurant offers a mix of Southern cuisine that evokes both delight and disappointment. While some dishes like the fried shrimp and homestyle sides received praise for their quality, others, such as the fried catfish and various po'boys, fell short in flavor and presentation. The excellent service and well-maintained surroundings added to the appeal, making for a positive dining experience overall. Many patrons expressed a desire to return, particularly for specific favorites like shrimp tacos and desserts. While some items may leave diners craving more, the restaurant has potential for a satisfying meal.

Food was really good. Atmosphere was good. Wait staff was busy talking trash about their working conditions. A bit unprofessional if you ask my opinion.

We went in with neighbors and had lunch while we were driving around for the Jeepin the Coast festivities.

Ate here during jeeping the coast. Was NOT IMPRESSED. We had roast beef poboy and the poboy delight with green tomatoes and shrimp. We had to keep asking our waiter for items we were missing. He was not worried about his customers and it showed.

It's not the same as it was when I lived in the area years ago. I'm not sure if the ownership has changed. The bread and gravy on the roast beef po'boy were fantastic, but the meat itself was a letdown. It seems to have shifted too much towards becoming a full-service restaurant and has lost the charm of being the excellent po'boy spot it once was.
