The Scene
This neighborhood bar and grill is nobody's idea of fine dining, but it's a trusty spot for the hungry uptown lunch crowd. Work your way past the leatherette bar and settle in for a good day of people watching. From the waitresses to the regulars, this place is packed with characters straight out of a "Sopranos" casting call.

The Food
Expect straight-ahead neighborhood fare without a hint of portion control. Most everything on the menu is deep-fried, from big butterfly shrimp to tender, cornmeal-battered green pepper rings and crispy fried chicken. The griddle turns out respectably juicy pork chops and hamburger po' boys, and any menu item (pork chop, tuna salad, you name it) can be magically turned into the city's signature sandwich. According to local custom, pasta in "red gravy" (marinara sauce) runs on the sugary-sweet side, as do some of the bean dishes.

Fun place to go with a group of people who want to eat boiled crawfish. Get a big pile and jump in! A place for locals and students. Offers typical New Orleans fare: red beans, sausage, fried seafood, gumbo, po-boys, crawfish, local beer. Casual and friendly and affordable.

This place is a hole in the wall, but its for mature groups, has cheap beer, is in a great night spot and feels like you're dining in someone's house. Try the fries for vegetarians, they have great po-boys and the gator soup, my meat eating friends seem to love.

Decided to try this place after reading good reviews online, and it was a hit! We had po' boys and they were absolutely delicious, they use very good oil to deep fry it all. The service was incredibly friendly and warm. And the prices were cheaper than a lot of other places in town that aren't even as good, so you're getting quite a deal! It is a little bit of a hole in the wall place, but the food and friendly atmosphere make up for it plenty!
