But the flavors don’t stop there! Our menu is packed with Cajun and seafood specialties that transport your taste buds straight to the bayou. A must-try? Our signature gumbo, available in seafood or chicken and sausage varieties, rich with bold Louisiana flavors.

Of course, we can’t forget about our award-winning Chicken Fried Steak—a local favorite, smothered in creamy gravy and served with mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal. And for something truly Southern, our shrimp and grits is a standout dish that blends coastal freshness with down-home cooking.

Burger lovers will find plenty to enjoy too, from classic favorites to our legendary Hangover Burger, topped with a fried egg for the ultimate indulgence.
