Met up with a friend here for lunch. We had always wanted to check this place out, but never decided to go even though we're from New Orleans East. The place looked a bit rundown, but this place has probably been here for years. The restaurant is pretty secluded with plenty of parking spots for customers. Walking in, we were promptly greeted and seated. The menu is pretty simple and just screams, "Soul Food!" My friend ordered the Stewed Oxtail Dinner and I ordered the Fried Chicken Dinner. I forgot the choices of sides, but we both had the Potato Salad and Cabbage with our entrees.
After barely catching up with my friend, the food comes out in no time! I was thoroughly impressed. We actually got more sides than I had thought it came with. In addition to the rice and gravy, potato salad, and cabbage, our entrees also came with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes! All of that included for just under 10 bucks? Yes, please! I knew all of this food was going to put me into a food coma, but I went all in! The sides were cooked nicely and seasoned well. I was excited for the cornbread, but it was pretty sad. It had good flavor, but it was so dry and crumbly. It was fine, but I did not want to finish it. I liked the fried chicken, but it was nothing too spectacular. I had one of my friend's stewed oxtail and I absolutely loved it! It was so tender and just fell off the bone. It came out piping hot and was full of flavor!
After our meal, I ended up ordering some food for a couple of friends for take out and they came out so hot and fresh. The server even showed me each to-go entree before packing it up to, which was a really nice gesture. My friends were amazed by how much food there was and also loved their entrees!
Overall, a great spot for some good ole soul food in NO East! The portions are huge and easily shareable. I have to come back to try some different things, that's if I'm not tempted to ordering the Stewed Oxtail!
