The food at this lunch counter was fantastic! If I lived in Louisiana, I would eat here for lunch…read moreat least once a week. The quantity and variety of options was wonderful and very creative. All the sandwiches were named after Old Hollywood celebrities. Don't be put off by the antique store vibe, the food is delicious and the owner and help are so sweet. There are only five tables that I could see, each seating 3-4 people. We chose Back in Time because I wanted to try a muffuletta while I was in Louisiana. They did not disappoint! Their homemade olive spread was a delight. I wish they sold it by the jar and it would have come back to Oklahoma with me. While there we saw lots of repeat customers come in, which is always a great recommendation. Thank you, Back in Time, for such a great meal experience.

The 2nd stop was during the Zydeco Breakfast on a Saturday morning and I would leave 1 star for that experience. People lining up outside before they open at 0800 and then there is a $10.00 cover charge per person. The music was good but a little too loud (if it's too loud, you're too old). Skip the endless mimosas. They're mixed up in pitchers diluted with a ton of ice and then poured into your cup. The food was atrocious - all our orders came out cold and the biscuits were hockey pucks. They automatically add 20% gratuities to all checks. $160.00 breakfast for 4? Never again.

Went eat tonight as a family. 4 adults. Arrived at 5:17 pm. We were sat very quickly, then took…read moreabout 8 minutes for the waitress to come get our drink order. Drinks took rather long to come. Ordered Swamp Sticks as an appitizer. It was cheese covered garlic bread sticks. Pretty good. Waitress came back to take order. She seemed upset or angry about somthing and when asked for opinions about two dishes stated "she was the wrong person to ask." My mother ordered fried shrimp and mash potatoes, myself, the chicken Atchafalaya, my son, 14" Pepperoni pizza, my father fried catfish. We all shared our food, and we agreed. My food review: My pasta was a bland greasy bowl. It lacked any seasoning other than salt and smoked sausage grease. Angel hair Pasta was overcooked and it turned to mush. I ate about 1/4. My mothers shrimp tasted too fishy, like a processing plant, batter was not seasoned but salty, if that makes sense. Potatoes, salty. She ate two shrimp and one bite of mash potatoes. Dads fried fish and steemed vegetables were good. Now to my sons pizza. My 17yo is a pizza addict. He literally eats pizza almost every day. Hunts Bros gas station pizza to be exact. He ate 1 slice. We each tried it at his urging. It was awful. The sauce had a strong red wine taste, the cheese was low quality and the crust was soggy under toppings and break your teeth hard crust. It was the only item we brought to the waitresses attention as it was $30.34 and inedible. The waitress agreed after touching the crust and brought it to the manager. Well, I guess 4 slices missing out of a giant pizza made it not eligible to be removed from the bill, but we would recieve a discount. Over 3/4 still on pan when thrown by waitress. During the whole night cups stayed empy and service was slow. I will never go back. .

I'm so glad we decided to venture to this little gem in spite of the few negatives reviews I read;…read morewhich were really very silly. This restaurant is not a prepackaged, boxed food, chain restaurant. In fact it's really special and if you take the time to drive here you should take the time to scan the walls. They are filled with accolades and awards won over the years. I have no vested interest in this establishment nor I don't know the owner/chef. I'm just another traveler passing through, looking at this place more as a living piece of American culture, while avoiding all of the fast food spots dotted along the roads. I wasn't there when someone served overcooked food, but I will tell you that if something wasn't quite right a mere conversation with the sever would've resolved the issue. Dealing out nastiness isn't serving anyone and it isn't helping the management make things better for your dining experience and it isn't serving the community overall. We found everyone to be very nice & efficient at their jobs. The 2 of us arrived Sunday, 8/16/26, at 1pm. We were greeted & seated by a pleasant young person, which promptly was followed up with our server, Lauren, taking and serving our drink orders. Our Salads, Crab & Crawfish Cakes soon followed and cooked as requested; cooked throughout with no soft, fleshy middle. We also ordered and shared the Grilled Chicken, green beans & carrots -- DELICIOUS! Lightly seasoned, juicy & very tender. It was the best chicken we've eaten in a very long time. We skipped desert since we had to get back on the road to Texoma; but, we will definitely seek this place out and dine here again in the future. I took as many photos as time allowed. I hope you will enjoy this beautiful, rustic space as much as we did and don't forget to ask the host to give you a page of history about the building. Safe travels and Bon appetit!

There were those at the table who had the more sane pepperoni pizza which featured fresh sauce and perfectly cupped pepperoni but I went for the unusual, a pie that featured pepper jack cheese, Cajun Guanciale, pecans and steen syrup. Crazy good with the pep of the cheese balanced by the steens. And then garlic Parmesan chicken cracklings...my god this is on another level. Crispy and yet exploding with garlic and Parmesan flavor.
