The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too.
Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable.
We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

Richard and Lori and their loyal staff hope you taste not only delicious Cajun food, but the pride that goes into every dish! The oldest restaurant in Acadiana with a great wine and dessert selection, kid friendly and great atmosphere with a third generation husband and wife team ready to serve and where you'll always find the locals.
Had an incredible meal last night. Tried so many appetizers. Kale salad and crab spaghetti were next level. Maybe the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. Our server was friendly and everything arrived timely. It’s not a cheap restaurant but you absolutely get your money’s worth.
Loved the french open soup, Caesar salad (well dressed), Chicken Kyiv (pleasantly surprised by the presentation), and flourless chocolate cake! Service was good and staff friendly. First time we visited and will try again! Highly recommend!
