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.

Our food is paired with a robust specialty cocktail menu, twelve craft beers on tap, 30+ whiskeys, and a full wine list.

Great location for date night! Everything was delicious--french onion soup and tuna starters, gnocchi, and chocolate cake and lemon curd desserts. Service was attentive, and the wait for food after ordering was not lengthy. Would recommend reservations, especially on a weekend night and looking to sit inside. Highly recommend.

Up to the usual standards. My only small complaint was the refried beans weren’t as creamy as I’ve had at the Government Street location in Baton Rouge. Otherwise, 10/10.
