Great little hole in the wall. It was recommended by locals. Excellent service. Everyone was very friendly and attentive and the food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. Small menu but the available selections were enticing. I'm on a diet so I played it safe and ordered the seafood salad. I was pleasantly surprised when I got my food. The salad was a gorgeous,vibrant bed of mixed greens and grape tomatoes. Not at all the iceberg lettuce and generic tomato wedge I expected. There was plenty enough seafood to have some in nearly every bite and the shrimp, crawfish and crab were cooked and seasoned perfectly. This place is a gem and I'd recommend it to anyone passing through.

Excellent food. They serve the best liver and onions I have ever eaten. I was in Jennings for seven weeks this past winter and ate there frequently.

Ms. Julie was an excellent server and host. She took the time to make sure that we had a wonderful experience. Nikki and Taylor were also kind and very friendly. The food was amazing and hit the spot. It was nice to come home to Louisiana and be welcomed with the delight of good food and good company! Well done ladies, well done. If y’all are ever in the area and looking for nice little local place to eat, these ladies aim to please and you will not be disappointed. Y’all take care now!!
