I love this rare New Orleans find in Madison. Yes, most people order ahead and grab their food to go, BUT there are 10-15 bar seats available if you want to have your order fresh and hot. Which is what I usually do.
The place is quick and reliable. Great if you need food on a weekend in a rush. Service is like a fast food joint, order at the cashier, and most of the times they bring out your food.
Alright alright, what to get?
- Fried shrimp
- Fried oysters
- Double sausage
Any of those with dirty rice (very peppery and spicy; so if you don't like spicy, get half and half or plain white rice) and corn bread. the corn bread is good enough to account for half a plate of rice.
- sweet potato pecan pie: sounds wierd, but strangely delicious!
The best part of this place? You can get half orders!! For small eaters like me, half orders mean two meals! delicious.
Food is cheap, fast and good. In a town full of poor graduate students and undergrads, what more can you ask for?!
