I am highly disappointed in this place. I went here on my lunch break yesterday for Fat Tuesday and was shocked at how horrible the food has changed. First time back in over 15 years. Not sure if new management or what but food is not of the same quality as before and the service was worse.
I ordered the boiled shrimp and crawfish. The shrimp were good and a nice size but the crawfish tasted frozen (you can tell the difference) and they were the smallest I’ve ever seen. Cooked them too long so when tried to peel them they just fell apart.
I also ordered the pasta with blackened chicken and shrimp. I never complain about the cost of food but 22.00 but watered down sauce, hard uncooked noodles, and only 3 pre frozen shrimp.
And to top it off. I was the ONLY person dining in at that time and the wait was ridiculous. Man brought check and just disappeared. I had to ask the busboy how do I pay and he was nice enough to take my card and receipt to the man to cash me out since the man never came back.
I’ll never return. Use to be great food, now gone down the drain.

This was probably the best fried pork chop that I have ever had. Service was great. The atmosphere is lacking. The darkl interior and worn furniture take away from the overall appeal.

Had lunch at Po Melvins and really enjoyed it. I had chicken and dumplings which came with 3 sides. So much food! I chose tossed salad, fried okra and green beans, all were really good. The waiter was very good but can't remember his name and didn't take pictures of my food.

1st time having lunch/dinner at this place. Our family that we joined have been here before & they enjoy it! Shared Catfish & Shrimp plate with my spouse as this was a good size portion. Meal was delicious also had the house salad 🥗 Fresh veggies...Our waiter was very attentive & very helpful...He was quick...He also accommodated our party with the private room as our party was quite large!! We will return!!
