I've been meaning to write a review about this place for a long time. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Madison. Hands down. Both locations serve the same menu but I go to the one on Monroe Street because of my work location and convenience.
The po' boys are some of the best things on the menu: shrimp or oyster or chicken or catfish.... Great crunchy bread with a little bit of mayo, tomatoes, and pickles.... The po' boys here rock!
The entrees are great too. I usually get a half order of the entrees with corn bread and a side of collard greens. That's more than enough food to fill a person up.
The ingredients are fresh. All the dinners are made fresh in the kitchen by Ken Kopp, grandson of the owner of the now closed grocery store, Ken Kopps on Monroe Street. (If you've been around long enough, you might remember that Ken Kopps grocery used to be on the location where the Trader Joe's and the condominiums are now on Monroe Street.)
I suggest either starting with one of their po' boy sandwiches-- if you like shrimp, try that-- or a standard is the red beans & rice with sausage with cornbread on the side. if you get the red beans & rice w/ sausage dinner, I'd also suggest having them hold the hot sauce. Then when you eat, you can put the hot sauce on the way you like it with as much or as little as you like. Ken keeps a good collection of some interesting hot sauces!
I love this place! A dinner or a po' boy goes for around $10, give or take, without a soda.
