Go by mama's and n'em and ask Espy for her bucket sized bowl of gumbo, which comes in 2 varieties: chicken or seafood. Don't forget to get a side of the fried corn on the cob, which is ridiculously slap yo mama & yo uncle good. If you're curious about something, they are more than happy to hook it up with a sample.
They are still in soft opening mode, trying to gauge the market and streamline their business processes. She is fixin to do an official grand opening in a couple months. Espy, the owner is a lil sweetie with a big ole personality and some mean cooking chops. All of her recipes came from her family.
They make a unique bread pudding daily, which was sold out when we stopped by for dinner. I tried their sweet potato pie, but it wasn't to my palate, buuuuut then again I'm biased & spoiled because I grew up eating my North Carolina granny's recipe.
The only down side is the location & the fact that they close at 8pm. They are in a small food court near CSN. They are going to be mega-successful; it's just a matter of time before they expand to a bigger location.
The food is better than what you'd find in N'awlins.
