This is the one place in Nawleans that I repeatedly go back to when in town. This is a no frills place, with decent prices and good, solid food. Most of the dishes I have had there have been good and repeat orders for me. I love their green fried tomatoes and try to eat as many of them as possible before heading back to Chicago. I noticed that the number of slices had been reduced from the last time I was there. But, the number that were on the plate was more than I would get at a restaurant in Chicago and for twice the price.
Gator Po Boy and Chicken Finger Basket (served with Cajun fries & biscuit) are my go to sandwiches. The Gator Po Boy was sausage with good flavor and was quite tasty with the fries and bubbles. Those biscuits are great and make a nice addition to the chicken tenders, which ended up going back with me as I could not finish it all. There is plenty of food for any dish, so you will not leave hungry.
The Country Fried Steak w/ Gravy (served with 2 eggs your way, hash browns or grits & toast or biscuit) is another solid meal. Gravy is nice and smooth, with good flavor. I would say this is a rib sticking breakfast and a good one if you are planning to do tours or walk around....it will hold you well pass lunch.
Another reason I like this joint is that they have bubbles. Funny side story, we had already been here 3 times and had the same server, Nora, who was adorable. I always ordered prosecco with my meals. Fast forward on the day we went and she wasn't working. The gentleman waiting on us promptly told me that they did not have prosecco and I respectfully disagreed with him as I told him I had been in here three times already that week and had ordered it. He went to check, then came back to tell me that they had champagne, not prosecco. Just for the record, ain't nobody serving $8 big glasses of champagne, but whatever you want to call it Boo Boo, I am drinking it :-) If you are a Bloody Mary person, they have bottomless ones for $15. Our friend loved them, so that worked for him.
As I said, this is a no frills place with good solid eats, but come early as they get crowded real quick. Although they use to stay open late, they now close at 2 pm, so it is definitely a breakfast and lunch spot.
Unless they closed down before I return to Nawleans, I will be back.
