    Quiche and Swamp Platter
    Marcela A.

    Great place for brunch. Food is delicious and you can find some alligator meat which is fantastic. Quiche is the best one I've had so far. Ambience is nice and the service is really good. People are ate very friendly.

    This place is the real deal! The owner flys in all his ingredients from New Orleans so its super authentic. Straight from the south! Everything is so good, the owner and the servers are so nice and accommodating. Hampton the owner makes everything from scratch and every recipe is past down from this family recipes! Grandma to be exact lol Try the crayfish it's bomb. I will definitely be back to try all the other food that's on the menu! Only open Thursday-Sunday. All Mardi Gras and New Orleans theme! Great little restaurant if you want a homie feel and great comfort food.

    Crawfish hush puppies

    The owners and staff are the best. The food is also exceptional as are the drinks! Anything here that has catfish is my favorite and the banana pudding, if it hasn't sold out!

    Delicious crawfish mac and cheese

    Chef Billy was a delightful chef to work with. We hired him to cook us a four course Valentine's…read moreDay meal for myself and my husband and he did not disappoint. He was easy to communicate with, wrote us an excellent menu, had a fair price, was punctual and polite. But the food was INCREDIBLE. We were both blown away. Every course was just delicious. We had: Crab stack with mango, avocado, tomato, cucumber, red onion, ginger lime dressing. He left us a WHOLE BOWL of king crab behind because he had extra. Seriously amazing. Salad with Kale, reb cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cosmic crisp apple, pumpkin seed, pecan, pomegranate, maple-lemon vinaigrette. This was the best salad I've ever had. Beef filet, thyme, rosemary rub, spiced pumpkin puree, blackberry red wine reduction, Brussel sprout leaves, radish slices. Every flavor came through. I especially loved the red wine reduction Spiced southern red velvet cake, fresh berries, mint, rosemary. And he brought my husband two gigantic dark chocolate dipped strawberries to accommodate his allergies! Both were amazing. My husband is both dairy free and gluten free and Chef Billy made it a point to make sure everything was customized for his allergies. He was so easy to work with. And on top of all of that, he left our kitchen SPOTLESS. Cleaner than it was when he arrived. We could not recommend Anita and Joes enough for whatever your event may be! I want to add that he didn't ask me to write this review, but he absolutely deserved it.

    It was my birthday and I wanted to hire a personal chef for a plated dinner for 22. After doing…read moresome research I chose chef Billy of Anita and Joes. The communication was excellent and he was very accommodating down to personal dietary restrictions for one guest. The food was delicious and all my guests were very happy. I would recommend Anita and Joes and will hire them again in the future.

    A Tiny Creole-style restaurant with a small bar and a limited menu…read more I was curious about this place. It's in a tiny parking lot on a side street in Des Moines. It's a small storefront and a little challenging to find. During the pandemic, my wife and I stumbled across it, but it was closed. We did get to chat with the chef-owner. He explained he could not afford to keep the doors open full-time due to the lack of clientele during the difficult mask-up period. He indicated that he would start limited hours soon. So, fast forward to today. The restaurant IS open at certain times, and I advise you to double-check the hours as they seem to change. So, anxious to try authentic creole food, I dropped in one afternoon and sat at the small but nice-looking wooden bar. The bartender lady was friendly and got me a bottled beer (no draft here). I scanned the short menu and asked for a recommendation. She recommended the Jambalaya. I found the Jambalaya extremely disappointing. As you can see from my photo, I was served a gigantic mound of Jambalaya rice. It was sticky, tasty, spicy, and filling, but "Where's the beef?". I felt like I was on a treasure hunt, searching for the protein in this giant mound of rice. I found a single slice of sausage and a few chicken pieces throughout. This may be how some families in Louisiana stretch their grocery supplies, but this is NOT what a customer expects at a restaurant. If this was the recommendation, then I am terrified of what the gumbo or some of the other dishes are like. To make matters worse, the bathroom had no light! I turned the switch on and off a few times, and the light would flicker a little, but I could not see a thing. I had to take out my phone to see where to do my business! After I washed my hands, I discovered the paper towel dispenser empty. When I returned to the bar, I found the Chef-owner leaning on the bar, chatting with the bartender and the only other customer there. Of course, I let him know about the state of his bathroom. "The light flickers?" he said., "Um yeah," I responded. He shrugged like this was an acceptable state of affairs. No apology, no action or promise to correct the issues. Just a matter-of-fact demeanor. Like it was MY problem! I can maybe understand an employee acting this way, but the owner? Is he serious about running a restaurant? Perhaps this is a hobby or a tax shelter; who knows? I will never return. I am a Yelp Elite Squad reviewer, and it pains me to have to award anything less than four stars for a struggling neighborhood business, but if the owner doesn't care, why should I? And now the results: Starting from 5, I detract one-half star from edible but disappointing food. One star for an unkept bathroom with no light. One star for a poor attitude. Another half-star for odd hard-to-keep-track of hours. Then adding my overall experience, I'm going to award a generous two stars. I sincerely doubt, and, judging by the owner's attitude, that he even cares; however, I will say this to him. If you are serious about running a restaurant and competing with the likes of Wally's or Anthony's in Des Moines, then I would seriously give your attitude a check, as well as the attention you pay to your bathroom and the content of the meat in your food. Good luck. BTW, if you enjoyed my review or found it useful, funny, or cool, please don't hesitate to click the little button to say so, or better yet, go ahead and friend me. So go on! Press that button, and never miss one of my epic reviews in the Seattle area and beyond. Excelsior!

    I been dropping in and out of this nice little kept secret for not kidding..... 25 years now!…read more It's a great little smokehouse secret! Something for everyone here! Was bar top this visit passing through town through business this week. Chris was my main server today. What a gentlemen! And so accommodating to me! I had the Pork chop tonight without dissatisfaction! With the well thought out mash potatoes, and beans! It was hardy! And filling! There is so many special other things that you can order here on the smoke side meat side! After dinner engaged with Melissa and Desiree. They are all engaging and a fun quick chat! For me really nothing not to like about this well long established place! Always consistent place. Job well done at Sharps!

The inside decor is immersive - big slabs of meat displayed, a sourdough pasta machine putting out pasta pieces! Very camp and fun. Service was also friendly. We weren't that hungry so just ordered the pulled pork salad and fried chicken salad. Both are HUGE and great. The meats were of course the highlights. I honestly wish we were hungrier so we could try the burgers and apps. We also ordered a side of fries, which was also huge. The fries were a bit disappointing though - lacked flavor. Overall a great find by the airport!
