It took a little longer, but knowing why made a huge difference. The boudin omelet is delicious and you can’t do your palate wrong with it. Yum! Would add a picture but it would be an empty plate.

Really off putting and not something I can get use to even though this is probably our 5th or 6th visit. I really enjoyed the down home feel of the ambience of the restaurant. As it was a seat yourself type of thing, so I did as such.The waitress immediately took our drink order and came back with our drinks fairly quickly for a table of 8. She then gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. Too much time to where I thought she was ignoring us or overly busy and wasn't coming back.She came and took our appetizer entrée order, which for me was a little bumpy and seemed out of sorts but she finished taking our orders.First to come out 15 minutes later was my appetizer, the fried pickles. That is about right to me to wait for an appetizer in an almost empty restaurant. Flavor was what got me though, they were super salty and greasy. No real crisp of them being fried what so ever.My entrée came out 36 min after my appetizer. Bad kitchen timing? Backed up? Didn't know because after our waitress dropped off the appetizer we didn't see her again for drinks or anything.The food was warm (room temperature) and the flavors were ok for my meal. My daughter sent hers back because they didn't get something right, as did my husband. Getting those two dishes back took forever it seemed, because we were done eating by the time their fixed plates returned.If you like a nice down home type of meal, and don't mind mediocre service, a long wait, weird greeting luke warm food; then this is the place for you. I don't know if they have lunch specials, as I was not told about them or offered them during the ordering process, so your guess is as good as mine.
