This is a small southern restaurant that has indoor and outdoor dining. You also have a choice of eating at the counter or at a table, which we chose the later.
Our server was very nice giving us some recommendations, letting us sample a drink we were curious about, supplementing our order that wasn't satisfying, and boxing our food.
From the recommendations, we ordered the Bucket 'O' Chicken, Shrimp Po'Boy, Gumbo, Mashed Potatoes & Gravey, Corn Bread, Fried Okra, and Beignets, as well as Hurricane and Swamp Water Iced Tea.
The Bucket 'O' Chicken had ten pieces of house special battered Fried Chicken. The Fried Chicken was tender and juicy with crunchy Skin on the outside. However the Popcorn that was with the Chicken was stale.
The Shrimp Po'Boy
The Gumbo was very meh too. It was very bland and didn't have a lot of flavor you usually expect from Gumbo. It was also very watery. Needed more rue.
Thankfully, our server let us substitute the Gumbo for the Chicken Jambalaya that was a lot better. The Jambalaya had more spice to it and the Chicken that came with it was nice and moist, but I have still had better Jambalaya.
The Mashed Potatoes were okay. Needed some more flavor. But was pretty creamy.
The Corn Bread was meh. Very bland and dry. In fact, I like the Trader Joe's boxed Corn Bread more.
The Fried Okra was the best of the sides. They were nice and crunchy on the outside while tender and not slimy in the inside, but there was nothing special in terms of taste. Wish that it has a little kick to them or something to make it more tastier.
The Beignets were also a disappointment. They were very heavy and kind of hard compared to other Beignets that are fluffy.
As for the drinks, the Hurricane drink was thankfully wasn't too sweet like I have had at some places, but wish that it had a little more alcohol taste.
The Swamp Water Iced Tea was thankfully not too sweet and was a little cirtrusy.
Overall, the food was meh. The saving grace was the Jambalaya and service. Not a place I would come to again.
