Best Happy Hour by far. Incredible half-priced food and cheap drinks. Try the catfish or boudin balls. Amazing.

What's good here? Sadly, not the gumbo that they're supposed to be known for. Lacking in flavor, lacking in heat (spice). The jalapeño cheese grits were tasty, however.

I'm actually from Acadiana and the gumbo is legit if not in need of a little kick.

Trio of pies are just empanadas. Boudin balls are deep fried as well. Overall so-so. But they have Absinthe.
