“I can NOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS about the Mother’s Day buffet. My family enjoyed the phenomenal Easter buffet and looked forward to the Mother’s Day; let me say, we were impressed once again. So many wonderful things I could not sample everything but here are my favorites 1. The eggs Benedict … this delicious golden yolk cascaded down, mingling with the silky thyme hollandaise to infuse into the soft English muffin…. Absolute delish!!! 2. The shrimp and grits …. Perfectly cooked spicy shrimp with Gouda grits was a testimony to why southern Louisiana cuisine reigns supreme …. And the Monica sauce elevates it to elegance while still your tummy is pampered with down home comfort. 3. The fried fish! This is a chef’s secret because it was not traditional fried fish. Whatever the secret, it delivered scrumptiousness in every crispy tender bite! Oh and don’t forget the homemade tartar sauce! 4. …… and the perfectly cooked Prime Rib! with the amazing horseradish sauce to complement … definitely a show stopper 5. The ambiance…. The service as always great …..Which seems to be part of the family atmosphere….. and the soft jazz …..taking it from just dining with family to Mother’s Day memories“

“Absolutely one of our very favorite places to go. Not just for the amazing food (really one of only a handful of places that I can actually find something to eat that doesn't set my Crohn's off) but let me just tell you, the staff are some of the kindest and most hardworking that I've seen in a long time. I genuinely feel like when we are dining there that they actually care about what and how we are doing. We went yesterday for a late lunch and hands down one of the best experiences there. We've gone there so much that we have a usual order and the gentleman remembered exactly what we ordered the last time we there (we were honestly a little blown away). We just love this place so much. Highly Highly recommend. Doesn't matter what time or what day, we've always 1000% of the time have always gotten our orders correct, done in a timely fashion, and most importantly ALWAYS with a smile and kind words.“
