Our menu boasts all-day breakfast options, including southern staples like chicken & waffles, alongside mouthwatering burgers and the finest Texas Gulf fried shrimp. And of course, we take pride in our award-winning gumbo, crafted with rich, slow-simmered flavors that pay tribute to true Gulf Coast tradition. Our commitment to quality has earned us accolades such as Best Diner, Best Chicken Fried Steak, and local recognition for serving some of the best gumbo in town. No visit is complete without indulging in our famous New Orleans-style beignets—a sweet treat that keeps guests coming back for more.
