Home cooked food! Great waitress. This is the place to eat if you are near port sulphur, or Venice Louisiana. A must do!!
Stopped in for a quick bite. Ended up getting the oyster po-boy dressed. Normally I was expecting to feel greasy and feeling heavy in my stomach...NOPE! The oysters were so light feeling and fresh! You could tell its local, fresh seafood! Didn't have all the greasy fryer taste like most places do. I'll be coming back to try the shrimp next!
Had the 2 egg breakfast and added pancakes. Pro-tip when the pancake breakfast has two pancakes that is an indication of very large pancakes. Huge amount of food. Everything felt homemade. Highly recommend.
I was heading home after stopping at a few places and I was getting hangry. I do love to go off the beaten path for meals when I can. Walking in from the bright sun, I had to let my eyes adjust for a moment. I was promptly greeted, told to sit anywhere and given a menu. I got the shrimp platter and I think the shrimp was so fresh it hit on me! It was great! Reasonable prices, fast service. I would recommend to anyone in the area!
Off the beaten path, but we'll worth the drive!! Loaded tots were phenomenal!
My son and I stopped here on a Sunday prior to our fishing trip in Venice. We watched the football game on the TV and were the only ones there. I had the shrimp on the bun and he had a cheeseburger po'boy and both were out of this world. Great service and everyone was so friendly. Hope to make it back sometime soon.
It was slow when we stopped so the service was immediate. The food was great, and considering the options, the location was perfect.
Gave Dads a chance on the way offshore and it didn’t disappoint. Place was clean and service was good. Had a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and the food was excellent. I would definitely stop again.
