They make a good muffuletta. I enjoyed mine. My wife had the salad with grilled tuna and loved it. One of the best she’s ever had.

Met a group there for lunch. We had more than the number in our reservation but the staff was very accommodating. The food was very tasty, I got the jambalaya bowl, big portions. Besides chicken & sausage, their recipe included ham. We got many things on the menu & everyone was happy with their meals. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Definitely would like to try it again.

I want to start by saying that this salmon is the best I have ever had. The restaurant’s service was excellent. Our dinner arrived hot and delicious-looking. We got the Chicken Caesar Wrap, the salmon Lafayette, which was very good, the Gator Bites, which I thought were a little too salty but not too horrible, and the Taste of Louisiana, which wasn’t that bad. We choose a Bananas Foster for dessert. For comparison, I’ve never had one before, but this was really good. If I have the chance to sample another, I hope it will be just as good.

Service is good. Had to go in to the bar to get the food. 15.25 for the catfish platter, sub coleslaw for extra fries. A bit steep for fish and chips, but the flavor was VERY good. I just wish there was more fish.

The Jambalaya Pasta was so salty I could not eat it. It has potential, but it tasted like someone went crazy with the salt. My wife had the taste of Louisiana. She did not like any of it.

10/10 Experience here! Highly recommend if you’re looking for some DELICIOUS authentic southern/ Cajun food! I have not had better southern food than this (except for when I was in Louisiana). The taste of Louisiana was the perfect plate to try a little bit of everything! Perfect place to go if you’re looking for some fantastic food, very fast service, and a warm welcoming staff! The atmosphere was great too, not too loud, but a sporty feeling.
