When it comes to the menu, there’s really something for everyone! The po’boys are a classic option. There’s a variety to choose from including ham & cheese, roast beef, turkey, fried shrimp, fried oyster, and catfish.

If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll definitely want to try the seafood platters. You can order a platter of fried shrimp, oyster, or catfish (fried or blackened) with French fries. Can’t pick just one? Order the combo which comes with all three!

The main course is always the highlight of the meal, but the cafe’s side dishes definitely give ’em a run for their money. Jambalaya, fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, crawfish hand pies - this place is the real deal.

Do yourself a favor and get an order of beignets on top of whatever else you order. Available all day, beignets are a lightly fried French pastry topped with powdered sugar and they are absolutely divine!
