Found this lil gem on Yelp, and I'm so delighted we did! It's a short drive from Guntersville, about 40 min from Madison, and well worth the drive! The food is made fresh, so fresh that they were able to make some of our items without sausage! My Po-boy was amazing, the sauce, and fried tomatoes add a lil razzle dazzle to a classic! I wish I had one now! The chicken jambalaya was a favorite, and my boyfriend ate every bite of his pasta! They give you homemade chips with a yummy cajun mayo for dipping, and the dessert counter was calling my name! There are very limited options in Marshall County. Please try this business it was a great dining experience, and they service was A+. Can't wait to go back for round 2. read more

We had a wonderful meal, 7 of us at JA Lil New Orleans in Arab, AL this afternoon! We had a variety of food from Po-Boys to blackened pork chops to jambalaya, among other good things! Service was good and kind! Even JA came out of the kitchen to meet us before we left, good experience all around! read more

I wish I could have checked out the inside more other than running in to the restroom. What I did see were rustic wood floors. Small bar. Extremely cozy charming tables full of people enjoying themselves. Looking forward to going back soon!

We were very pleased with him and contacted him again this year - but not only was he rude - I tried calling and emailing asking for an proposal on a Christmas dinner this year since Dec 4th - didn't get a response for 2 weeks and the only reason I got any response at all was when I called him - says he will respond but doesn't and when you call back after a few days he is rude - taking my business elsewhere - he is not worth the trouble

I ate in the cafe many times and decided to use them for catering at our wedding. The way we were treated by Mark was obnoxious. He acted like he didn't want our business, even tried talking us out of ordering more food. Who turns down business? The day of our wedding flew by and I tried to stay as stress free, but the fact that we had discussed clear cups and utensils and he assured me that is all he used, then they showed up with ugly green and orange... That was on purpose! My wedding pictures are a reminder of that and it just ticks me off a little. He also completely switched one of the entrees that we ordere but it didn't really matter since the food was dry and tasted nothing like we had tried and approved when ordering. I knew complaining would do no good so I didn't even bother. I just hope my experience will save someone else from the headache that comes with using this man's company for your big day.
