A MUST! This place was so good. Everything was delicious. We ordered gumbo, fried shrimp, & beignets. The service was good and the food was even better. Will definitely return every time I'm here. Edit.....we went back the very next day. Ordered fried fish with fries & the soft shell crab. Both were very good!
