"Catfish poboy was blah and not "fully" dressed (skimpy on the amount of catfish as well). Bread was unique and full textured, much like a ciabatta. Homemade fries were the real deal, although WAY TOO salty. I ordered a side link of sausage that was out of the park delicious, with edible skin (my 1st criteria for grading sausage). The order taker had a delightful, welcoming personality. Easy ordering process. Nice outdoor eating setup. Would have been better on the more scenic bayou side rather than street side, but nice dining option none the less. Would also suggest speakers for piping music in the outside dining area."
