We were in Lake Charles for Fat Tuesday and discovered this gem. We walked into a war
welcome and smiles from the staff. I had the “Maddie’s Shrimp Grilled Cheese”, fried, flavorful shrimp sandwiched between a good grade of cheese and perfectly, buttered slices of bread.

Wanted to give this place a try based on the reviews, and we were very happy we did. We did the downtown location...was ample parking for early lunch time on a Monday. The 2 service gentlemen were extremely nice and helpful. The food was plainly good. Wife and I loved every bite of the burger and breakfast sandwich. Good old-fashion southern diner cooking at it's best. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a good homemade hamburger this is the place. It is a place where locals go as it was full at lunch time. Just moving here a year ago, I did not know the routine. Once I realized you must order from counter and menu was on the wall, I was fine. They bring your burger to the table. On the far side they have lots of yummy locking ice-cream. Great place to grab a quick lunch when you are downtown or for lunch hour.
