I had eaten here a handful of times before they moved the building. My first visit at the new location was for Sunday brunch, and it was a wonderful experience with friendly staff, delicious food and drinks. The Beignets were great, BBQ Shrimp Benedict was amazing the Brandy Milk Punch was worth the wait. The blues band just started as we were leaving, but really enhanced the experience. Great experience and I'm really glad this restaurant moved rather than close.

Truly a San Jose institution. We were sad to see it closed during the move but were so thrilled when it finally reopened. The new spot has more seating. The food quality is as good as ever and we love coming here for the po'boys!
