“ Great food and friendly, speedy service. Upstairs is counter food service and there is a bar in the basement. The shrimp poboys are excellent and well dressed! Excellent French fries. Had the shrimp and grits special and it was excellent and made with the holy trinity! You can order online and they are open late, until 2am. Highly recommend! ”
“ First time visiting after a recommendation from the family. I had the gumbo, red beans & rice, and jambalaya; my wife had a shrimp po-boy and gumbo. Service and atmosphere were very nice as they had a strong New Orleans flavor. The shrimp po-boy was delicious, as were the red beans & rice. The jambalaya was a bit spicy, but damn good! I was torn on taking a blackened grouper po-boy to go. But after the owner urged me to try it, I gave in and grabbed one. The gumbo was good, but the roux was just a bit thick (it did have okra) and seemed to lack a dash or two of creole seasonings. We were given a sample of the bread pudding; it's the only dessert on the menu. I must say that it's DAMN GOOD! We'll be back!!! ”
“ Delicious! Seafood is usually a little pricey but for the portions this place is very reasonable in my opinion. We got shrimp and grouper platters and we were stuffed by the time we were finished with our meals. Bread pudding was excellent as well! We'll definitely be back! ”
“ HAAY MY NEW ORLEANS FAMILY HERE IN GEORGIA!! Y'ALL GOTTA COME TO THIS RESTAURANT! EVERYTHING IS A1 BAABI ALL ACROSS THE BOARD! A very warm welcoming into a whole New Orleans Mardi Gras environment, with many large TVs, a very large bar full of all kinds of good feelings even a game area with pool and old school video games that made the experience all the more fun! The way we eat and drink definitely. We were greeted by Matt who introduced us to the menu and his favorite foods, he made the experience so genuine and hospitable just "SO NEW ORLEANS YAHERDMI !! but I came strictly for the hot sausage po boy dressed with grilled shrimp I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK , THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT!! THANK YOU FOR AND AWESOME TASTE OF HOME ”
“ Atmosphere was great! Food was Perfectly cooked, gumbo had a nice kick too it but not to bad, the alligator bites were fried and crispy but slightly chewy inside, the BREAD PUDDING though was EVERYTHING to Write home about!!! That bread pudding absolutely amazing!!! Now service (disclaimer I’ve only been at night) was a little bit hard to get someone attention for service and get refills on drinks but food came out fast. ”
“ My favorite dish is the French fries—they’re unique and very crispy. The wing sauces are tasty, but the wings themselves are a bit too large for my liking; some people might enjoy that, but I didn’t. The shrimp po’ boy sandwich is good. I really like the atmosphere; there are games and billiards available, and the space is large enough to host big groups. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! ”
“ It was my first time trying this spot and I placed a to go order. The ordering process was super straightforward and easy. When I arrived, I was greeted and promptly handed my food. The Po Boy was extremely flavorful, the bread was soft and the fried shrimp were delicious. I also got an order or hush puppies and they might’ve been my favorite thing I ate. The only thing in my order that didn’t exactly win me over was the side of fries. The temperature was off and not as crispy as I’d like but overall not bad. I’d go back again. ”
“ The Debris, Oyster, Popcorn Shrimp and French Fry with Gravy Po Boys were all yummy! True New Orleans style bread! The Boudin balls were yummy as well! Fun atmosphere downstairs and our server was excellent! Will definitely be back! ”
