I normally love whole little hole in the wall places because I find that you usually do get the most authentic food from them., but this place just didn't make the mark. The score is mostly for the service I had. Had dinner but honestly everything seemed very subpar. I'm pretty sure that everything was frozen before it was given to me. Half of it tasted super processed, and not fresh and all. I was missing a lot of the spices that I have gotten used to with louisianal/cajun cuisine. Overall just a disappointing experience.

Reservations are recommended, and they had our table ready on time! Very casual and family friendly dining atmosphere. It is family owned and I had the opportunity to speak to them, and you can tell they absolutely care about their customers and their restaurant is their passion! They are absolutely some of the friendliest and sincere people I have ever met. When the food came out, looked great. While my son just had a children’s grilled cheese and fries (looked great), my wife had the eggplant Parmesan and I had the fried catfish with Jambalaya. Portions were excellent, so much so we had to take food home. The fried catfish was wonderful and tasty and the eggplant Parmesan was a huge amount and my wife loved it, of course I snuck a few bites too! While we did not get it, they have very large portions of onion ring appetizers which I’ll definitely try next time. We will be back and highly recommend this family owned restaurant.
