Yoli ZMay 30, 2015Vic is the most awesome waiter I've met in a while. He has amazing suggestions and he was right on target about those char-grilled oysters! He accommodated all of our big party group's needs. Props !

Tony RodriguezAugust 13, 2010Bartender Eugene always greets you with a smile and a beverage. Great food and service make this a neighborhood gem. Try the Fried Shrimp Po Boy. Read more
Never a cover when DJs are playing. Come any Friday or Saturday. Hell, come *every* Friday and Saturday!
Mary Moore-SimmonsNovember 30, 2014The gin fizzes are delicious but ridiculously sweet. Plan for a water or fried food chaser!
Jacob FriedmanDecember 15, 2011Adult trivia is the best. Chris is a great trivia master and Tim makes good drinks.- Tony RodriguezJuly 15, 2010Great place for lunch. I have had the Jambalaya and the Red Beans & Rice, and both were delicious.
Go there Saturdays from 9pm-Close for $2 Dixie Blackened Voodoo and $3 DBL colas. Read more

"For great breakfast any time, this is the diner for you. Try some of their hash specialties or their florentine breakfast. Very personal service, too!"

"You can’t go wrong with anything in the menu. The Italian will make you want to cry in the corner because it is not part of your daily life."
