    Love the food. Cannot go wrong with any of the items. They put a lot of food on the plate, so order wisely between the small and large.

    Big fan of the gumbo. I usually get a half/half plate with gumbo and jambalaya. HUGE servings at a good price.

    Menu changes periodically but you can sample anything on it....yatwich is yummy. So is the one pronounced "mock shoe" but trust me, it tastes better than a shoe!

    The Maque Choux is absolutely out of this world. Portions are huge so you will probably just want a small. Great prices!

    Maque chaoux is perfect medium heat, if you're not a super heat seeker.
