They only do brunch on Sunday, but it is worth the drive out. Spicy Bloody Marys, Jambalaya scrambles, thick Cinnamon French Toast with a side of Andouille sausage. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Of course, you’ll want to save room for the Begnettes: fluffy, puffy donuts sweetened only with powdered sugar.

Having never been to New Orleans, my experience with Cajun food hews pretty closely to a box of Zatarain’s Red Beans and Rice. As such, I have no idea if this food is authentic, I only know that it is EXCELLENT. Their big focus is on their Po’ Boy sandwiches, and you can get a variety of hot or cold. I’m partial to the fried catfish Po’Boy. They also do a Sunday brunch with a Jambalaya scrambled that will make you wish you had discovered this place sooner. Also, if you’re going…get an order of the wings. Not to be missed.
