The menu is huge with tons of options, so there's definitely something for everyone. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I decided to try the Shrimp Pasta. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite -- it was a little too lemony for my taste and the sauce was pretty watery. It just didn't have that rich, creamy texture I was expecting. My friend and her husband ordered the Hot Sausage Po' Boys, and those looked much better! I've also seen a lot of reviews raving about their Fried Chicken Wings, so that's definitely what I'll be trying next time. Not a total loss -- just means I have a reason to go back and give them another shot!

Whether for gas, a pizza, or a drink to-go, Brown Derby reigns supreme amongst the convenience stores in the city! Great store. *PS- they are one of the few businesses around who do not allow people to loiter and beg customers for money by the front door. As a regular customer, this is noticed and valued. Not many other surrounding businesses do anything about this, and customers appreciate.

The 3-egg platter with smoke sausage, grits/hasbrowns, toast is just $10. If you're looking for lunch they have burgers and po-boys. The shrimp are a nice size, no miniatures.

So Saturday I called before I went there and was told they finally had them. Only to be disappointed when I got there. They only had whole wings. So I settled for the whole wings. They were good, had great flavor. I was told that half of what's advertised on the menu they don't have in the store. The gentle that was cooking the food was great and had a wonderful attitude. As well as the new owners, who apploiges for my inconventice.

So I came to this place and the owner Abdul was extremely nice and not only did I not pay $55 with 75 pieces of chicken I paid $34 for 60 pieces of chicken for community feeding! Now this helps those 501 C3 dollars to stretch when feeding people!

The workers there are super friendly, and if you felt like you needed assistance, I'm sure they would give it to you. There is usually a person or two hanging outside; sometimes asking for cash, sometimes just giving you some side-eye. It doesn't always feel like the safest of locations, and yet, it's never once stopped me from going there, and I've never had an issue. I rarely go there for gas, however, I go there for the fried chicken and meat pies. This is New Orleans, after all, and our gas stations often carry better food than the average restaurant elsewhere, so why wouldn't you try it? My favorite is to pick up food before a Saints game to take to friends and enjoy all afternoon. The seasoning on the chicken is amazing, it's generally pretty fresh, and if you're a strips person and want some dipping sauce, they've got you covered for that, too. Even after Hurricane Ida, last year, they worked hard to get things straightened up enough and cleaned out quickly to keep the neighborhood fed and on its feet. Love that can-do attitude!
