Table & chairs available to sit & eat. Food was ready quick & I'm not sure about the prices but everything is higher than snoop dogg right now. A Co-worker chose this spot for lunch one day. I didn't take a minute to look at the menu to see if they served chicken tenders or not, i rather assumed... Anyways, they didn't serve "Chicken Tenders" but had some Chicken Breast left.. The lady treated me as any loving mother would a picky child.. She took the time she didn't have, the energy she didn't need to waste & the initiative to "make something shake" lol. I walked out with a chicken tender basket & a full stomach with food left over! I appreciate that & you more than you'll ever know for that small gesture of kindness, which was huge to me!

Once upon a pandemic, I discovered a business called "Chef Nat's Kitchen," where Chef Nat was…read moreliterally slinging meals from his household kitchen. The food was good, so I looked forward to the day that he would open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Well here it is. I ordered the Wednesday special, which consisted of mustard greens over rice, cornbread dressing, and candied yams. It normally comes with baked chicken, but I paid $2 to upgrade to fried fish. The fish was maybe a smidge under salted, but better undersalted than over-salted, and it was otherwise good. The greens were good too, and I especially enjoyed the dressing and yams. My meal was roughly ~$14, which is really fair considering I'll be eating off of it twice. The staff was friendly and my food was ready fairly quickly. The restaurant is a bit bare looking inside, but it's casual and still very new. I will definitely be returning. #blackownedbusiness

The prices seem a bit…read morehigh at first glance, but the portion sizes make it clear you're getting more than you paid for. The staff is engaging, friendly, and very attentive, I was really pleased with the service we received while there. As for the food, my lord. I ordered the Smokehouse Sausage Gravy and Biscuit breakfast, and received two dinner plates. The first had a perfectly grilled sausage and four huge biscuits covered in the house Cajun White Gravy. The second plate held three eggs, and a huge pile of hashbrowns. I made the mistake of ordering their biscuit hash as a side. It was delicious, but it definitely came home because there was no way I was finishing that and the impressive breakfast I ordered. Everything was done to perfection. My wife ordered the pastrami on rye. She's a connoisseur of such things due to her childhood in NYC, and was very pleased with what she got. The fries also bear mention, with their crispy flavorful exterior and lightly fluffy inside. The place feels very local, and will be a familiar experience for anyone who lives the ambiance of a warm hometown diner. As a final note, the bathrooms are immaculate.

Wow! What a find thanks to the Hotel staff!…read more A worker who also was staying at the same hotel said I had to try it! Not disappointing at all. Short staffed but not a problem as the manager coached her team to success. Everyone was flying around helping with all diners! I ordered an ice cold beer to start and ordered one of the pick your fish dishes - choice of three fish (redfish, mahi, or red snapper) prepared three different ways. Thai, Creola or St Catherine! I went with the redfish creola! The picture says it all! Perfectly seasoned and cooked! Lump crabmeat and tomato on top with a butter sauce. The side of fries and green beans were perfect! The green bean cook was something else with garlic to boot! A great compliment to the dish! The restaurant is small but nicely decorated and a lot of fun. Watching the staff interact with the local clients was something else like family! If my work returns me back I will be there again!!

Whether it…read morewas fish to take home to cook, boiled seafood, fried seafood plates, or even stuff from their cold section I've tried a good bit. Last Friday I went and got 2 stuffed crabs(in the picture). Initially I was like $13 for the two scoops of stuffed crab seemed high but I know crabmeat is expensive. Right when I was about to pay for my food the hot crawfish came out so I had to get a taste and ordered 3lbs. My total was about $33. Prices are cheaper if you pay with cash (they list the price with cash and the price if you are paying with card) so I'd say bring some cash. The crawfish were good as usual and were a nice size. Other things I've had in the past that I enjoyed were the crawfish fettuccini, shrimp poboy, fried fish plate, and potato salad. There is seating available inside but it's not a big place so a big group would probably need to get their food to go. Also this is a pretty popular place especially on Fridays so expect to wait in line or you can call and order your phone ahead of time (which I usually do).

The Real Deal - Still My Favorite After 9 Years…read more I wrote my first review for this place back in February 2017, and here we are in April 2026. After nine years of lunches and dinners, I just had to come back and say thank you. In a city that's constantly changing with fancy new tourist spots or quick grab and go windows, this place is a constant. It hasn't changed, and that's exactly why I love it. When I walk in and grab a seat, I feel right at home. It's casual, it's comfortable, and it's the real New Orleans. The food is just as good today as it was nearly a decade ago. I find myself constantly craving their po-boys and gumbo. Whether it's the hot fish, the stuffed peppers, or the mashed potatoes, you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients and a lot of love. The family that runs this business has a huge heart for the community, and it shows. If you are a local looking for authentic Cajun food that stays true to its roots, look no further. This is the kind of staple we are lucky to have.

While the food may feel fancy, the environment certainly isn't. This isn't a "nice restaurant", it's a basic one that's kept clean and themed. If you're craving seafood, I strongly recommend you making this your go-to step.
