If you're a true food lover, I insist you pay a visit to this incredible restaurant. Located just a few miles off your beach route, nestled between a Mexican market and a Dollar General, this unassuming gem will astound you with its exquisite culinary delights. Trust me, I'm grateful I don't live closer; otherwise, I'd be indulging here excessively.
Let me start by discussing the factors that matter most: food, service, atmosphere, and value. Taking all these into account, I can confidently declare that this establishment is one of the finest in the region. Where else can you relish delectable beignets for a mere $2? And imagine savoring five flawlessly cooked dayboat scallops for only $17! These prices are unrivaled.
Upon our arrival, we were promptly seated, lucky to have arrived when we did. With only eight tables, the place quickly filled up, forming a line of eager diners waiting for a table. The ambiance feels just like visiting your warm-hearted Louisiana aunt, with three lovely ladies bustling around to take your order. Pam, our server, exhibited the patience of a saint, graciously accommodating our indecisiveness and tending to our young children.
From the very first bite of our appetizer—scallops—it was evident that we had ordered way too much. But we couldn't resist. Our order consisted of kids' meals (chicken strips and PB&J), appetizers of fried green tomatoes and cornbread, followed by enticing entrees of Shrimp Po' Boy and Zydeco Plate. Finally, we indulged in the heavenly combination of bread pudding and beignets for dessert. All this, along with our drinks and a muffaletta sandwich to go, amounted to a mere $105. The value we received would have cost us nearly double anywhere else.
So, dear fellow traveler, don't miss out on this unforgettable culinary experience. Make a detour to this remarkable restaurant during your beach adventure. It will be a decision you...
Read moreWe had a pretty good dinner here tonight! It's totally off the beaten path. If we hadn't gotten word of mouth, we would've never known about it. And since word of mouth seems to be spreading fast, a reservation is a must, especially with their very limited seating.
The drinks were okay. I had a hurricane which was pretty weak. Nothing compared to a true hurricane from Pat O'Brien's down in Nawlins.
The food was much better than the drinks. We shared fried crawfish tails as an appetizer. They were okay; a little heavy on the breading (too much cornmeal and not enough flour) and slightly overcooked which took away some of the juiciness of the crawfish meat. They came with tartar sauce and remoulade which, althought both good, tasted exactly the same. The remoulade needed more smoke flavor to help differentiate the two. I had the shrimp po' boy for my entree. The shrimp were plump and juicy, cooked perfectly. The french bread was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, perfect for a po' boy. The "cajun" fries that came with it were good but were really just fries with Old Bay seasoning, nothing cajun about that.
To finish off, we shared an order of beignets. They were doused in powdered sugar just like the Cafe Du Monde classics. But unlike Cafe Du Monde's, they were too dense and chewy. I think they needed more time to proof up the dough.
I might be slightly more critical than the average joe since I spent many of my summers growing up in New Orleans and was raised by a classically-trained Cajun/French/Creole chef. That being said, I still think this little joint deserves 4...
Read moreI can’t, I can’t, & I can’t. I will never slap my heritage and culture in its face like this place has done. Arret. I am so tired of places like this thinking that they can cook real cajun food. And as usual of course everybody raving about the restaurant because they have absolutely no idea how real Cajun food tastes. I was born & raised in the deep swamps of Louisiana. Everyone in my neighborhood has been raving about this place so I decided to look deeper into it. The first red flag was the current owner being from Rehoboth Beach & the second is the ground beef in the red beans. When this owner wants to try real Cajun food he can comment back to me. Cajun food can’t be taught in a culinary school. It’s pretty much the only style cooking that will never be able to be taught in a school. It is a culture. It is our blood. It is what us Cajuns are known for. My maiden name is Gauthier. Trust me nobody ever pronounces it correctly so don’t try. Mais, ça n'a pas d'bon sens, ça. My mawmaw and pawpaw would roll over in their graves if I ever ate some Faux voudou like this mo sha. I’m glad all the people around here give you business but as for my friends in the area I will have to be honest with them. Not sorry. People need to stop trying to donner de l'effet our food. It Ça nous fait chier. La seule nourriture que je sais faire c'est la...
