Their yakamein is the real deal — rich, comforting, and full of New Orleans flavor.

This place is like Southern comfort with a lighter, hippie twist. Great if you want something hearty but not heavy-heavy. Food is amazing.

Touristy? Sure. But the oysters are the reason it’s packed. They’re smoky, cheesy, and just messy enough to be perfect. I’d go again just for that platter too — fried shrimp and catfish were on point.

What I got: BBQ shrimp and crawfish Ă©touffĂ©e My note: “The portions are huge, the flavor’s even bigger. The BBQ shrimp is saucy and spicy in that ‘need bread now’ kind of way. Classic New Orleans flavor.”
