This bar serves a damn fine Bloody Mary. Best I've had in New Orleans. Breakfast of Champions.

Don't look at the online menu before going. Was told it hadn't been updated in years. Red beans and rice were amazing!

Red Beans and Rice and Fried Chicken was great! Try the bread pudding if you want some dessert!

Jambalaya, red beans and rice and ernit burger fish are great small portions. Had to order 2 meals each for only two people to get full. Expensive for amount of food purchased.

Great lunch specials. Tuesdays are Hamburger Steak and Wednesdays are Chicken Fried Steak. You simply can't go wrong with this excellent food!

You must try the pepper jelly dressing atop the scrumptious spinach salad.

Cool place!

No specials during Mardi Gras - portions are super small. Good food, but zero bang for your buck. Heading to McDonalds in a minute so I can finish filling my belly.

This is a place you go to drink with friends not eat.

Quick stop for food and drinks!

Don't be scared by the floor when you walk in. It's a peace symbol, not a swastika. If you are that offended it's your loss.

Rude, rude, and more rude. Went mid-afternoon on Sunday and they were out of just about everything. Food we did order was awful. Steer clear!
