We went here as a group of 4 for dinner around 730pm.
The entrance was on a busy corner with lots of police presence but was easily accessible.
There was a line to ask for a table.
The server was fun, energetic, engaging which made this an enjoyable experience.
The food arrived fast! Not only was it timely, it was delicious! The seafood gumbo was amazing with a savory sauce.
See pics for ribs and catfish ordered.
Definitely do this one!

What a great choice for dinner.
We all had the fall off the bone ribs.
The Best Deal on Beale was the best.
Good catfish and the best coleslaw ever! And try to save room for the awesome desserts.

What a great experience.
We got the best meal on Beale and it was a very big portion.
The ribs fall off the bone, the catfish is perfect, and the stew with steak chunks is great.
Erica our waitress was great.
The food came out very fast.
Awesome spot.
