Fantastic food. Great atmosphere, great friendly service. OMG I went for lunch and had a spe call soup. A Garlic soup. Unbelievable! Fantastic. Then the Catfish Po boy! Again, Fantastic. My friend had the Shrimp Po Boy. He couldn't finish his, and neither could I! Just greatfood, a must go to! The service and staff were great.

Read the reviews and expected a dive bar. It is *in* a bar but that’s not the issue. We actually liked the music and the “dive bar” feel. I’m not a picky person but the guy BURNED burned the chicken. When I asked him about it he said “that’s because it’s the only way to get it to temperature” funny… no where else I’ve ever been had to burn chicken to get it to 165°. He offered to make something else, but the tone said he’d be happy to mess with it, too. The mozzarella sticks were good. 10/10 do NOT recommend getting the chicken since he doesn’t know how to cook it without burning it.

Typical bar surround. As a local Louisianian, I was intrigued by their gumbo reviews. It’s…fine: 3 star in New Orleans and 4 star in Missoula. Poboy bread is hard to find so it’s a good subway bread. The rice is basically an Uncle Ben’s rice. The rue is dark and solid. I didn’t see any sausage or shrimp but not unexpected bc this is Montana. Paid for a cup to try it. I think it was $5 and we paid with a $10. We left after 15 minutes and realized we never received any change. Too lazy to walk back so…based on one cup of gumbo. It’s a nice place with decent potential.

Went for lunch. Had the catfish. I asked if they could grill it, instead of being fried. They were very nice and accommodating. The fish came out delicious. The fries were made perfectly. I ate with a friend at the bar. The bartender lady was friendly, very efficient and professional. Overall, a very positive experience.

Good flavor on all the food I tried. Wish hushpuppies were served with tartersauce.Prices and quanity were good. Be prepared to talk to people. The locals and the bartenders are always friendly here.
