“Born and raised in southeast Texas and been here about six months. I’ve been missing Cajun food. We got the catfish poboy with fries, side of beans and rice, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Everything hit the mark. The bread and New Orleans shrimp tasted exactly how they should, perfect. Beans were soft and flavorful with shredded meat and sausage in there. Wish the catfish was seasoned a little more but that’s probably just my preference.

Hope to try the beignet fries if they bring them back.“

“Lives to its reputation of the best jazz club in the town and beyond. Enjoyable. The food was great too. Currently runs a Cuban Jazz week. A group of major stars in the field. Many came directly from Havana.

More recent addition: Monte Alexander is 81, but looks as he just turned 60, and feels as he is 25 yo. Highly recommended to see, while he's still in the town.“
