I just left because my party of 2 was seated and handed silverware , and our waiter never came back. He tended to tables that came after us. And even when he saw us walking out, he still never said anything nor apologized.

If I could give zero stars I would. Where do I start? First, I'm pretty sure they did, quite literally, ZERO cleaning ANYWHERE in the restaurant. When I went to the back to use the men's room, the floor was sticky and filthy the entire way from the dining room to the restroom. The prep area and kitchen area looked like it was run by wild animals, food and filth everywhere. The restroom clearly hasn't been cleaned since last Mardi Gras. My girlfriend found what was very clearly a fly in her Coke, the manager (?) guy took it, apologized and then he and the waiter both came back and lied to our faces claiming they poured it out and it was a piece of plastic. Naw man, I'm a southerner, I know damn well what a fly looks like. Overall, same garbage management, same garbage staff, same garbage dumpster of a restaurant. All that drama and blaming the health department and all that over the last couple months and clearly that wasn't the real issue. This place SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN until they can clean it up properly. Mobile County Health Department where y'all at??

We’ve been here once and will never go again. Grits were crunchy, veg in omelette was uncooked and generally everything felt unclean.

You can smell the mold outside the doors, we opted to decline our reservation and eat at waffle House.

Unfortunately closed. Not sure how long it has been closed. The sign on the door says that they are closed for painting, but from the looks of things, they're closed for a lot more than just "painting". Bummer it wasn't open when we visited.

I would never eat at the restaurant! They have rats and roaches and gets in trouble with the health department constantly and the owner is a pshyco who writes bad checks to his employees. Running his mommas business into the ground. So sad. Yall ordering expensive food you thought was fresh but really been sitting in a cooler for days being reheated. Even your omelets on busy weekends! Nothing is fresh!

The eggs cathedral made my fiance sick and the soups were pink and gelatinous, a strange jello with no seasoning?. The server was very kind though and attentive.

Very quaint place, The Food and drinks were delicious. You will think you're sitting in a place in New Orleans. Downfall... Waited an extra 20 minutes for our check because the Waitress assumed we wanted to sit there and talk. We had to flag her down. It's very drafty and cold if you go during the winter months.
