I’ve gone here for years. It’s one of my all time favs! It is owned by the same family as the LaCareta in Hammond, La which I loved originally. It’s never been quite as good but it’s still very much worth the price you pay! I recommend!

Our hosted had a very bad attitude. She was snobby. We had 8 guest to be seated and kept wanting us to sit a smaller table. My money spends anywhere and it won't be here dor a long time.

Five stars for our server Alexis!! Food was quick and delicious, we both needed a quick bite after a long day working in restaurants ourselves & Alexis had such a great attitude serving us when we know we were there like half an hour before closing time. Thank y'all for being open & thank you Alexis for being a gem! Food's always so good here, it practically goes without saying. Keep on truckin!!
