Was in town for the week & rode with my sis (pinky) who is from there. When we came i tried the gumbo cause I wasn't that hungry.. lets just say I was back 2 days later for some more.. i also tried the red beans & rice & fried shrimp the 2md time... it was soo good! But that cornbread baby .... makes you wanna slap your mama for not making it that way all these years will definitely be back when I'm in town again!

Delicious!! We love trying local food and found this place while passing through. Everything we tried had amazing flavor but the crawfish fettuccine with grilled fish was our favorite! Definitely treat yourself and get a few sweet potatoe pies too
