Food:

Across the street from the Music Box Theater, this is a great place to stop before or after a show. It was my first time, and they had noted they had a new menu. I went for the buttermilk fried chicken and mashed potatoes. After about 10 minutes, my meal came out. What followed was an incredibly tasty experience. Some of the best fried chicken I have had. Moist, seasoned perfectly, a bit crispy, and not too hot. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery, but I was disappointed that they do not have gravy (chicken or beef or anything) to compliment. It would have been perfect with a biscuit, gravy, and perhaps some seasoned corn on the cob. Anyway, I had a breast, thigh, and drumstick for $12, which was enough for a leftover. Check it out. It is good.

Food:

Food was OK but the service was incredibly slow even tho the restaurant was practically empty.

Food:

I LOVE good cajun food and the fried crawfish po'boy here definitely hits the spot- with the crusty bread and the excellent remoulade sauce. I haven't tried their gumbo or anything, because I'm always pleased with my sandwich. They have decent drink specials during the week and the fun mardi gras decorations put you in a New Orleans mood. But the service leaves a lot to be desired, and I often find myself searching for my waiter when I'm there. Maybe that's part of the down-south experience. So, if your craving crawfish and you're down to sit around and wait a while, this place is for you!

Food:

Went for lunch. The BBQ burger was mediocre, the waitress was nice but the service was super slow. The place looks cool from the outside and I was excited to go but disappointed when I left. I wouldn't go back again.
