★★★★★ 5.0 Heather · Oct 2025

We visited the Nerve Health Institute for some treatments, and while we were there, we had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant — it was absolutely amazing! My mom and I had never really experienced Louisiana-style food before, and we completely fell in love with it. Our waiter, Ross, was outstanding every time we visited. He took the time to explain the menu and was incredibly friendly and engaging. We also had the pleasure of briefly meeting the owner, who was so welcoming and kind, even when we stopped by during closed hours. We ordered the chicken with sweet potatoes cooked in coconut oil — absolutely incredible! The beef stew was also phenomenal. Every dish we tried was delicious. This place is truly a gem.

Great chill place to eat delicious Cajun cuisine. Their gumbos are the best restaurant gumbo I've had. The crab patty on a bun is also outstanding. Friendly service and atmosphere.

I just have to say if you haven't tried this place you should deff try it. I don't know who cooked this but it’s probably the best hamburger steak I've had. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. The gumbo was top tier. Environment is laid back and definitely a family setting. Our waitress was very sweet and even gave us suggestions. We will deff be back! Thank you for a great experience.

I love the crawfish bisque and really just about anything on the menu. My only disappointment was getting a frozen take-out (2 quarts) of the bisque as there were no cooking instructions. As a result, it did not turn out very good (crawfish balls completely disintegrated into the roux). Otherwise, when visiting from Birmingham, I almost always go to Rachael’s.

Busy for lunch, but food and service are definitely worth the wait!
