I had the Boudin eggrolls a cup of seafood gumbo and luckily I’m here on Friday so I was able to get the red beans and rice with a catfish fillet. Apparently it’s the special they only do Monday and Friday. Lucky me it being Friday. The servers were very nice and courteous atmosphere clean and very New Orleans themed The food was very flavorful definitely Cajun spice, but not overly spicy the food came out prompt and hot. The catfish was not rubbery so more than likely fresh not frozen. Portions are very generous. The price is about what you’d expect in 2025. I had sweet tea with a couple lemons to drink, and the tea was perfect, not overly steeped and not overly sweetened All in all would recommend and will definitely return

The food was delicious, the service was great. We had a really lovely window seat. The atmosphere was really special with an upbeat Jazz that was the right amount of background. My husband asked for the Nola Muffaletta without the muffuletta and they were so accommodating, he was so happy with his sandwich and the baked potato salad. I had the Bayou Mahi, it was so good, just the right amount of spicy and so flavorful.

Great food for my wife who had the blackened shrimp Po-boy. I was looking for a great vegan option and settled for a good house salad with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My wife also indicated that the sweet potato fries were also great. Service was good. Atmosphere was really great. Bathroom was functional except for the hand dryer. No paper towels as an option for drying (which is ok unless the dryer doesn’t work).
