We were looking around for something quick to eat and stumbled upon this gem. The food was hot, fresh and so flavorful. We had the seafood egg rolls which are some of the best I’ve ever had. For my lunch I had the French toast and chicken. The French toast on the French bread *chefs kiss* was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. There was so much flavor and the wings were seasoned to perfection. We were really impressed!

They serve breakfast and lunch all day.The service was great!We ordered The Island drink which was sweet but refreshing!We also ordered a shrimp po boy which was delicious from the batter on the shrimp to the bread roll it was served on and the shrimp burrito which was seasoned to perfection!Great little local spot, definitely worth trying.

This Place felt like home. This is my first time ever visiting on My B’Earthday which is today. ??Literally everything about this place was absolutely Amazing — from getting greeted and seated by “Summer” , meeting the Owner and also having Diego keeping the place clean. When I tell you I Enjoyed each moment. It’s Worth It (especially those endless Mimosas ????) and those Top Tier Platters. Chileeeeeeeeeee I was beyond satisfied. Everything about this place is a TOP 10 .Thank Y’all for making my day extra special ✨ I’m moving in NOW ??✨ we’re family!

I give the food five stars here. We ate here first time, my husband ordered Shrimp Omelet, I ordered Chicken & French Toast , eggs and coffee. All the food was delicious, more than our expectations, the coffee smelled a little weird, But it tastes good. The waitress has a very beautiful and friendly smile, which made our dining experience here even better, only the location little far , others are very good and worth recommending! ! !

Unfortunately, it's a no for me. A waste of lunch time and money. I ordered a house salad that looks like a side salad you put on fish or chicken plates. The de'jon potatoes were caked in oil/butter or whatever we halved those up for tasting...its a no not good at all. The seafood egg roll looked like it wasn't freshly made, flat and soggy with cheese on top( definitely a no). The catfish "platter" came w one piece of fish that was heavily seasoned( take yo pressure pill) with a boat load of fries n toast. Yeah its definitely a no go for me.

I’d like to start by saying the owner is a great guy! I met him personally and he’s the epitome of New Orleans. For that reason alone we will be back (although the food was quite tasty). A small restaurant that serves good food and drinks. Me and my wife enjoyed our time here and this location will be frequented by us for years to come.

I am so glad I came here during g my New Orleans trip! I ordered seafood gumbo and shrimp Po boy and the gumbo was the best gumbo I’ve ever had! I’m coming back here everytime I visit! I loved the environment! The staff was wonderful and so helpful ❤️❤️❤️

I ate here here the first time today. I had heard about their cauliflower po-boy, so I wanted to try it. It took like what felt like a long time for the sandwich to be prepared (especially since I was the only one there and they were about to close), but I knew that meant that they weren't rushing good food. And I was right. The fried cauliflower po-boy exceeded my expectations. Very flavorful. Spicy. With all the right dressing. The texture was crunchy, in the way that fried shrimp would be. I was delighted from first bite to the last. And while I was waiting, I was also delighted to spend company with the fine folks who owned and ran the place: down-to-earth, friendly people offering good food and a good company. There is nothing more New Orleans than that. I'll be back.

I ordered the basic shrimp Po boy and gumbo. The focus on flavor is what still has me craving more. The shrimp are lightly fried and the sandwich doesn't have me feeling heavy at all. The gumbo had a smoky flavor with whole oysters, beef sausage, crab, chicken, shrimp, and beef. Can't wait to go back for the shrimp and grits. A local business where you can taste the love

Had the shrimp omelette which was amazing! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We wanted to go back for karaoke but had an emergency come up. Definitely next time I’m there!
