I understand why nobody visits this place anymore. The food quality has declined, and they can't seem to retain a chef. However, the biggest issue is the pricing. They charge $2.00 for a tablespoon of coleslaw, and I’m not exaggerating! I used to go there frequently, but not anymore. This isn't a high-end restaurant; it's just a little hole-in-the-wall dive. I don't mind paying a premium for quality food with decent portion sizes, but this is simply excessive. I wouldn’t recommend it.
This place is incredibly dirty; it's quite unappetizing.
I really like this place. Every time I get to the standish, try to do it here. They close early and serve breakfast. In large portions and reasonable prices. It's a mom and pop café. If you want to know the local gossip and where the fish are. This is your place.
The staff here is fantastic, and the food is excellent! Although we've only been a few times, we've never been let down. The team treats every customer with the same level of attention, unlike other places in the city that seem to prioritize their regulars. We absolutely love this restaurant!
Only accepts cash, no credit cards. The Po' Boy is excellent. Be sure to check the new hours: they close at 2:00 PM on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. While the ambiance isn't a standout, the food more than makes up for it, which is always a positive outcome.
