I ordered my lil' sister's fav "crazy cake" for her birthday party. It is a marbleized cake made of batters from all the cakes in the bakery section. Delicious & absolutely beautiful! Thank you! ❤️

I had the bbq fried chicken, frites (grit fries), sweet potato crisp with coconut shreds, & watermelon Agua fresca. Everything was fresh, juicy & delicious! Plus the owner & staff are super nice!

Sunday brunch at this Mid-City gem is a good time. Not only is there a DJ spinning nostalgic Hip Hop and R&B, there's also a delicious menu of Southern-style dishes that you'll be craving days later. Read more

Grits is a trending taste this week, so head over to the Southern-inspired eatery My Two Cents for their twist on the breakfast classic: grit fries.

Healthy soul food. Who knew? Love the black eyed peas. The chef owner is awesome and great with the guests.

can't go wrong with the chicken and waffle w/ grits and biscuit for brunch.

The creole shrimp with corn grits are amazing. I also love their braised greens, biscuits and honey, and pretty much anything they serve.

Southern-style dishes! Chicken "in" Waffles! Shrimp with cheesy grits, the veggie quinoa scramble, and house-made agua frescas.

The Oxtail Tacos. Bomb Sweet Potato crumble. Gluten free Mac & Cheese. Yummy

If you don't get the BLT, get the BBQ ceasar. The lemonade is always good, if they master the mac n' cheese this spot will be unstoppable.

Creole Shrimp and Corn Grits. So comforting. So savory.

Look for the hearts on the menu for vegetarian and vegan items.
Scott RoseFebruary 12, 2016
Grits and shrimp were good, as was the plantain-stuffed pork chop. Service is rough.
Camera EpicMarch 18, 2015
Pretty good. Shrimp with grits big enough for two.
