- Almost Perfect, Just Needed a Dash of... Something Walking into this place felt like stepping into Grandma's house--if Grandma had an unlimited supply of chairs and a selective approach to hospitality. Our server was all smiles and charm with us but seemed to have beef with the other half of our party. Maybe it was a test? Maybe they failed? We may never know. The food was solid, but let's just say the seasoning was on a well-earned vacation. The cheese grits, though? Absolute celebrity status. If the rest of the menu took notes from those grits, we'd be looking at a 5-star experience. But alas, here we are at four stars, dreaming of what could have been.
We were passing thru New Orleans on a business trip and had a lay over, we have seen this place on Man vs. Food. I had to try their famous Debris Po Boy. I was amazing, but you had better be hungry, it is amazing. Most people only get the half sized order. I have the fries with seasoning, they are truly unique. The restaurants was clean and even smelled clean. It is modern and spacious. This place is a staple in the communtiy. The ham here is legendary. My wife had the cheese grits and eggs that is served with it. The biscuits are HUGE, it is not wonder this place has been in business a long time. This is a must stop place if you are in New Orleans, it is a tradition!
One of the top breakfast spots in NOLA for tourists and locals. Unchanged since it started in spite of new owners. Go early to avoid the lines. Always an experience and great food. Damages for 2 was $30.
Good Old fashion diner style with a New Orleans flare. Good Ambience old school - (aka: right close to the dated) Make sure you check your receipts. They tend to surplus each receipt order by $.50-$.75 above what the state price on the menu is other than that it's a great place.
We opted for Togo and it was packaged perfectly to prevent leaks and with quality packaging. We got black ham with cabbage, green beans and red beans and rice. Everything was generously seasoned and delicious. The green beans have a tomato vibe and it's good but also interesting. We also ordered the debris sandwich. It's good and 100% something you should try. The French bread is crispy and soft and went so well with the juice the debris is served in. The best part was the cop who was directing people where to go, telling the host what tables to seat and how many he had getting up. The employees really work well together and the young lady running food did it so effortlessly and efficiently. They keep the line outside to manage the crowding! It was so long when we left! Worth the wait!
Nice residential place. The food is served quickly. Pictures walls records many glory moments.
BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!! This was our favorite place during our entire trip for dinner. It is 1000000000% comfort food done right. I am craving it right now! Service was good. You get in line and order by the cash register and then they bring the food out to you. Ambiance is very casual and lowkey. I think about this place a lot... it was the best food I had during our visit. Everything we tried was so good and I'm not even that much of a fan of gumbo! So please go visit!!!
This place is well known for their "Famous Ferdi Special" which is a ham and roast beef po boy and their "worlds best baked ham dinner" I think both dishes are unique but not just my taste, I think it was still good to try their take on these dishes You order on the counter and you find you table and they'll deliver it to you, I think service could be better as there are people waiting on you but they're not that attentive
