I used to eat here all the time for years since it first opened. Thursdays they have fried chicken on the menu and that was my favorite until today. I noticed something different immediately walking in at 11:45 AM. The place had six people in it and no one serving food behind the counter. I placed my order and waited quite a while for a plate of cold food. The fried chicken was nothing like before. The green beans, baked macaroni, and salad all tasted and appeared old. The salad already had dressing on it to hide the wilted lettuce. I was starving and couldn’t finish the meal. The iced tea was good, but I will not be going back for that. The price is a bit high for a Cafeteria style lunch with small chicken pieces. I’m writing this review after driving home and thinking that it must be under new management or a new owner. I read the reviews and they confirm my suspicion. Very sad to see such a very popular restaurant be destroyed by a delusional owner. Why would you change what worked so well for so many years? Now there’s no place to eat on Peter’s Road/engineers Road unless you like food trucks.

Very retro and cute. Reasonably priced. I guess. O don’t know. Things seem so proxy these days. So it is what it is. $17 for hamburger fries drink and tip.

If I could give 0 I would, new ownership took over and management is beyond unprofessional. Was attempting to have lunch with a co worker, & got comment from management which had me tell her Cancel my order. Co worker had the roast beef a like someone stated since new ownership the roast beef has changed. He stated it had an awkward taste & thinks they should go back to the roast beef that was used previously. Other than that a decent atmosphere to say it’s on the West Bank. I wouldn’t recommend this establishment due to management alone, but the decline in food standards doesnt help the issue either. Although I understand nostalgia for some people.
Food was delicious! Service lovely. Great prices.
Happy open until 7 on weekdays.
Chicken salad was wonderful as was the potato salad wonderful! And the Romaine lettuce so fresh they could have just picked it. Poor boy bread soft and delicious! Nice job y’all!

The roast beef sandwich was always the best in New Orleans for my taste. However it appears the new owner changed the Roast Beef. The sandwich was still good just not as good as it used to be

Great atmosphere at this lunch spot right by the Mississippi River. I recommend the chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes. Great food, great service. I will visit again. I will post pictures of food next time I stop by.
