If you’re in the mood for po’boys, they have some of the best. If you get the roast beef, be sure to get some extra gravy so you can get your dip on.

They also have several seafood platters to choose from, each one piled sky high with your choice of fried catfish, oysters, shrimp or if you’re really hungry, a combination of both catfish and shrimp.

One of the hidden gems on the menu is the muffuletta. As we all know, this colossal sandwich is pretty big, so you’ll want to bring your appetite. Or maybe a few friends to help finish it off.

If you don’t want a whole muff, no problem. You can get 1/2 a muff (which is still huge) or spice it up with a Submarine, which merges a po’boy with a muffuletta, absolutely delicious!

You’ll also find several hearty dinners that will make you fall in love at first bite, including red beans and rice, spaghetti, and several daily specials like roast beef with mashed potatoes and green beans.
