“I’m writing this review and I aint even get the check yet lol this food surprised me and exceeded my expectations easily. The food was delicious, flavorful and really fresh. Surprisingly fresh. The Marty gras empanadas are the highlight. I don’t really mess with cheese or seafood but daaaamn they did they thing. I got the Turkey rib dinner, fuggin phenomenal and packed with good. The cocktails are really good and have a Nola kick to em lol . I also got cornbread, red beans and rice and the bourbon street smashed. I’m lowkey smashed . I’m coming back with big T for her birthday but it’s going to be our first time. Come check em out y’all. The food and plating was great but I had to drive in immediately - 1/27/25 - hey y’all, I’m back, with better photos, this place was sooooooo damn good. I don’t understand why it’s empty in a Sunday night but I don’t care. I got Turkey ribs again, my date had the catfish dinner and she scraped the bowl haha. The cocktails are pricey but you’ll taste why. I got the French quarter fizz and was speaking creole by the time I finished . Peep the photos.”
“We ordered the catfish which came with red beans and rice as well as green beans. I wish the fish was served on a separate plate or to the side because the wet sides can make the fish soggy,but we quickly moved the fish to a saucer once it was served so it was fine. Everything was very well seasoned and cooked very well.”
