About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Kid-friendly
Good for groups

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

We had a reservation for 830. We did not get seated until 845. Our server was in training she left mid shift when I was saying she was gonna leave. It took another 45 minutes for us to get our food so we didn’t get our food until 10 PM with a reservation at 8:30 and the restaurant was not that Pak Food was OK it was lukewarm. We just was so ready to go.

This is my new favorite for brunch. I have already book again! The service was exceptional! The best price for Bottomless mimosas in town and they were truly bottomless. The food was excellent and also priced very well. The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and quiet. I highly recommend!
