| - Let me start by saying from the time I pulled up to the place, walked in the courtyard, stepped into the diner and took a seat on one of the 9 stools at the corner of the counter, I was a fan. This tiny place packs a big punch. The employees are super friendly and upbeat. There is a sense that they want you to have a great experience while you enjoy eating.
It's got some super items on the menu and they are working on creating a full bar. They have large multi seat tables that look similar to picnic tables outside under umbrellas so there is more seating of the weather is good.
There are several items on the menu I will return to try but on this particular trip, our first, we had the Holy Puerco & the Peanut butter Bacon Cheddar Burger. Both were amazing. I felt a bit like I was back in New Orleans with the fried cheddar grit cake, cracklins, & Crystal sauce. Not to mention the burger reminds me of one of my favorite burger joints in NOLA, Yo Mama's Bar & Grill. They also have a Peanut butter Bacon burger.
I like the list they have on the wall behind the counter that names all the local businesses they purchase there produce, meat, and goods. It shows the intent to buy local and support other local businesses.
I will be back, I witnesses the making and devouring of a sandwich named Big Jim, a fried chicken breast, country gravy, bacon & cheddar on a large homemade biscuit. I have got to try that for myself. So my recommendation to you is to go, eat, experience this little diner for yourselves. There is soul in the food they serve.
