The wife, Natalie, cooks the foods and I promise you it's very delicious. I tried a matcha drink, because I'm love matcha and I don't know what she made but it was delicious I had the pancakes and my husband had the potato and spinach tacos. We shared so we can both have a taste. The pancakes were delicious! I added the blueberries and whatever that syrup was...it was sooo good! The tacos were not what my husband was expecting, he genuinely loved them. The cook suggested a mixture of sweet and russet potatoes and they made the taste buds dance. Topped with some pico de gallo, the right addition. The restaurant was clean, bright and airy. I'll definitely be going back!

Such a gem in Slidell! The food here is unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and all made from scratch --…read morethey even make their own bread. I had the strawberry cashew cream cheese toast and the vegan Reuben (made with turnips!), and both were incredible. No processed meat substitutes -- just creative, whole-food plant-based cooking. The space is beautiful, set inside a restored historic building with cozy indoor seating and a peaceful outdoor courtyard. My dad and I loved everything we ordered and can't wait to come back. The owners, Jeramee and Natalie, have amazing energy and a great story -- you can feel the passion behind this place. They close at 2 PM most days, so be sure to stop by early. Highly recommend!

Truthfully the only positive of this experience was our server, Brennan…read more The crab claws were a nice size on the appetizer but the butter sauce or whatever it was entirely overpowering. The veal was overcooked and the risotto it came with was salty, dry and mushy. Inedible honestly. I was very excited about my triple tail, but it was soaked in heavy cheddar; cheddar grits etc where it was hard to find the fish. So if you like XL portions but terrible food, dicristinas, so So bummed

Outstanding food, atmosphere and service! I was a little worried when I visited with a group of…read moregirlfriends. I'm gluten-intolerant and thought the menu would be pasta, pasta and more pasta. Not the case! Our server, Shelby, helped me find a few really good choices and I went with the fish and grits (called something else on the menu). It was outstanding. Rich but not too rich. Large enough portion that I took half home. One friend had the fried chicken and raved about it. (Order early because it takes time.) Another had fried cheese ravioli Several had the Mac and cheese and everybody raved about their dishes. Took home some seafood-stuffed cornbread for my husband. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It's right in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington at the trailhead with huge windows and natural light. Really lovely! They were crowded (on a Tuesday night) but the service was great and the owner popped by several times to check that everything was okay. Already planning a return trip with my husband!

They're $10 on Mondays - get in here and get you one as soon as you can...then get another. Now I can't wait until Monday. But, I was in there over the weekend, and tried a recommended dish - the Bayou Omelet. We split the dish, which we ordered with perfectly crisped hash browns (my description, not the menu), and a cathead biscuit. What's a cathead biscuit you may ask? So did we. It's a biscuit as a big as a cathead! And guess what, I hope I don't run into that cat, 'cause he's a big-un'. But back to this omelet. Dang, y'all, it was sooo good - the seafood was fresh and tasty, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and every bite screamed "we love you, thanks for stopping in!" Had some hot, black coffee with it - also pretty good...good enough for a second and third cup, for sure. Two visits in and still impressed - if you make it out, leave some time for a little stroll around the little town of Abita Springs...the Brew Pub is great for an after dinner pint to wash down whatever amazing treat you had at the Cafe'.

Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!

The fried artichoke was good but maybe serve it with marinara instead of that ranch dip sauce. We had the chicken parm pasta. I have had better chicken parm out of a Stouffer's box. The chicken tasted like it had been frozen, the flavor was not good. And try draining the pasta before you plate the food. The whole meal was floating water as you can see from my picture. Maybe I'd go back to try the gelato but this was truly the worst chicken parm I ever had.

Granny's is a solid breakfast place…read more I found myself in Pearl River for a volleyball tournament at the school up the road. There was a lengthy delay in between games so I searched for and found a spot to eat breakfast on Yelp. Granny's is not a boujee breakfast joint which is great as I do not like the boujee breakfast. If you do, I am not hating but you may want to look elsewhere. If you are not and are looking for a good omelet and friendly service, Granny's is where you should be looking. This is an order at the counter, fill your own drink, grab a number, and wait for your food kind of place. The restaurant is clean and the locals are friendly. While I visited during off hours, there were a couple of folks inside having a nice conversation about something or other. The food was good to very good. My omelet was well made and had a good ratio of stuff to egg. I hate fluffy omelets and this one was thin and just how I like. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food I received.
