I really enjoyed the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. It easily is the best in Longview. The main reason I didn't give it five stars is the price. I got a bowl of gumbo which was more the size of a cup (their cup is just an even smaller cup). It costs $12 with tax. To be honest this was not filling.

We actually had lunch at Ki Mexico today and as we were leaving we had to stop in and grab a lil etouffee... bread and cheese spread for...

Also, I use a crutch to get around and had quite the juggle between crutch, bags, and wallet. The beautiful lady at the register didn't even need to be asked... she just jumped right in to help get my items back to my car. What a pleasant...
