We came to try the Beignets for the first time in Lake Charles. Our server was very friendly and able to provide context and make recommendations.

This place is out of this world good southern cooking. I had the shrimp and grits, my daughter had Bignets, and my wife had a southern fried chicken patty with French toast (it had a special French name but I forgot), but everything was a 10/10. Delicious and authentic Louisiana grub. If you're in Lake Charles this place is a MUST. It could easily be on the food channel. Try it. Just trust me and try it. Thank me later.
