I am only giving it 1 star due to no option to select 0. This place a 4.2 and yall & we were bamboozled! This place has such great reviews, which is why we chose to go, but the food was a huge disappointment. I've never seen soupy jambalaya before. Not seasoned. Tastes like it's sitting in tomato sauce. The Mac n cheese was dry as heck and lacked love, flavor, and cheese.

Not too extensive menu but the food taste great. It was our first time here. The place is small but very clean. We had jambalaya, fetuccine, and beignets. Highly recommend to those in the area

I had the pleasure of visiting this incredible Black-owned family business this month and I was so pleased that I got to do so with a couple of friends. We tried a number of things including etouffee, jambalaya, a po boy, mac n cheese, green beans, beignets, soup, plus a whole lot of hospitality. The dining room at their current location is teeny tiny with only a couple of 2-seater tables, but we were able to push two together to accommodate 3 of us. They're located in a strip mall and the spot doesn't look like too much from the outside, with just a walk-up window on the interior. One of the owners, Tonya, took our orders and served us and let us know that her dad, a chef of 60 years was still rockin and rollin' in the kitchen. They have been at this location for 18 years. The etouffee was a little thin, but served with 2 tasty sides and had some good flavor. The chicken and andouille jambalaya was served in a heaping portion. Each were offered with a spice level between 1-5-- we ordered both with a level 4. They had some kick to them but weren't insanely spicy. The Toni po boy was so big that we received it in two different takeout containers. 1 serving of jambalaya and 1 sandwich could easily feed 4 people a hefty meal. Instead, I'll have leftovers for days and I'm not mad about it. The po boy was filled with a salad of sorts that included black olives, lettuce, and onions-- the main element was a mixture of fried proteins including mini shrimp and chicken. It came with 2 sides of their po boy sauce. I would recommend ordering extra sauce on the side if you can. We also tried one of their soups which was actually rice topped with the soup. It was all really tasty with a red sauce base containing a mix of veggies. The beignets were airy, light, fluffy, and came in an ample serving with a TON of powdered sugar and steaming hot, as they should. The amount of food we received for the price was definitely fair, especially considering that we were eating authentic family recipes. I dined with friends who have spent a lot of time in New Orleans, (I've never been), but was told that the jambalaya and po boy were both comparable to what they'd expect to find there. We were told that they'll be moving soon and opening a new location on Long St and I can't wait to check them out when they open up the new spot in June. They'll be closing this location at the end of March or early April so check them out beforehand if you can, or bookmark them for their reopening this summer-- I highly recommend it!

Pretty bad experience all around. Ordered on the phone and was told it would be 30-35 minutes. Waited 30 more minutes after arrival until food came out - over an hour total. Very sketchy vibe in the parking lot. Pushy panhandlers and a group of aggressive teens swinging a golf club and swearing at folks. Shrimp po boys were underwhelming. They seem to be moving - maybe wait until then and see if they can get their act together.
