| - Was craving fried food, a sandwich, and bread pudding. This placed seemed to satisfy all of that.
Located in an old shopping center, the outside is pretty noticeable with a big sign of its name. It seems to be the only place in its area getting business.
Came around 1p and the place was pretty busy that we had to get seated at a bigger booth. The inside's decor has a little bit of cheesy factor but they did try to bring New Orleans to Vegas with their colors.
We ordered coffee, beignets, fried okra, fried mac and cheese, two streetcar poboys, and a bread pudding. I'm not a fan of the sliminess of okra so I can't say much about it but surprisingly, the fried mac and cheese was a lot better than expected. You get a few pieces of bacon mac and cheese nuggets accompanied with a side of ranch. I recommend it. After those came out, our waitress came over to bust out some bad news. No beignets...and it was one of the main things I was looking forward to. She said they were rolling out some new dough and if it was ready by the time we got to dessert, she'd gladly serve it. Oh well. The poboys come with a small side of fries and cole slaw. A regular size is pretty filling. Overall, I wasn't amazed by the sandwich. It was good but simple. I added a touch of hot sauce to each bite. For me, the bread pudding outshined the sandwich. I opted for the one without raisins and it was served in a coffee mug all warmed up and gooey from the sauce. Don't skip on it.
Like other reviews have mentioned, service is spot on. The ladies here make sure you're doing alright and consistently check up on you. They're friendly and full of energy.
Would I come back? I would. But mainly to try the beignets and if a friend really wanted to check it out. Otherwise, the trek here is too far to be a regular.
