Excellent food and excellent service! Can't be beat!
December 16, 2024
Terrific experience! Food was delicious and generous portions, too. Atmosphere was great for couples, families, special events, and single diners. Chef Ron personally greeted our table and other guests. Definitely plan to visit next time I'm in New Orleans!

The food was great!
March 8, 2020
Been a customer since before 2014. I see a huge difference in the way the food is prepared. The grilled/broiled fish was always on a dry plate, fresh with several sides. My fish the other night was soaked in oil, frozen/not fresh, unappetizing and tasteless. When I ordered the chicken Marsela, it was a tasteless piece of fried chicken floating in oil- nothing at all that would please the senses. The original gumbo was really extravagant and delicious. It has now been reduced by half the ingredients, three times the thickening agents and twice the amount of rice as before. Aside from all of that, the last time we went the food was barely warm. A big disappointment.
February 7, 2020
Very friendly service. Great food, comfortable atmosphere.
January 9, 2020
We had gumbo with catfish on it and a side of potato salad and drum in lemon butter sauce with a side of red beans and rice. All good.
December 29, 2019
We truly love our New Orleans food. Chef Ron's is SO different, as a neighborhood type place because the food is truly at a gourmet level. He only uses the highest level of ingredients so the flavors are so much better. The guy just knows how to cook. The portions are more than generous. We just love Chef Ron's and take people there regularly and they cannot believe this little place in this out of the way location performs at such an high level. !!
December 28, 2019
Restaurant was busy but our waiter was very attentive.
December 27, 2019
Crystal was an amazing server, patient and personable.
December 23, 2019
Love neighborhood restaurants. I had not been to Chef Ron's in quite while but I am very happy I returned for a Christmas meal with a friend from Dallas who is a regular diner.
November 22, 2019
The seafood gumbo was packed full with fresh ingredients. The chicken and mango salad was equally fresh and delicious
November 11, 2019
Great service, best gumbo in Town, reasonable prices, large portions
November 9, 2019
A warm and welcoming place. I plan to return rather often with my family. Great food and fun, family atmosphere.

Boudin balls too thick batter, gumbo good but prefer more traditional dark roux, creole has good shrimp and quantity but over handed in some type of spice, service below average
October 2, 2019
Chef Ron is a wonderful person and cook. He is a personal friend of our family. We try to get together w/ him as often as we can. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
September 28, 2019
Very friendly service! The Chef brought fruit for our kids before their meal.
August 9, 2019
The Chicken Jefferson is INCREDIBLE. We tell everyone we can that this place is a hidden gem in Metairie. Chef Ron regularly will come through the dining room and interact with the customers. He passion for cooking shows in every dish on the menu. We can't say enough how much we love this place! A&B
July 6, 2019
It was a little hot, and had an old smell to the building.
June 4, 2019
Gumbo was super good, great flavor, lots of shrimp, chicken and sausage. Looking forward to boing back for more. I ordered the gumbo and a fried shrimp sandwich, both was excellent.

We dine at Chef Ron’s at least once a week. The food is always fresh and so delicious. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing.
April 9, 2019
The food was amazing. Only issue with the place is that it is super tiny! Only a few tables so very crowded. We ended up sharing a table with a couple at the other end.
February 15, 2019
We ordered the gumbo. The food was not as good as usual because of the rice being mushy, not firm. Still tasted good overall, just that it was not as good as previous experiences.

Service was great, staff was very nice and food was pretty good.

All the food I had was excellently prepared, but the gumbo was my favorite. It was delicious and they did not skimp on seafood at all! We got such a hearty portion for a low cost! I was impressed!!
January 23, 2019
We only had 2 people so we were put at a table for 2 in between 2 other tables for 2. Without stretching my arm I could reach out and touch the people on either side of me. We couldn’t even whisper without the other people hearing me.

We love the hot sausage grilled cheese as nd gumbo combo. The best in town.
December 13, 2018
Grease smell was so overwhelming in the restaurant that it spoiled the meal. Food was good, but they must not have a good vent system.
November 27, 2018
Service is fast and friendly. Gumbo was outstanding and the Crawfish Etouffee was also excellent. Chef Ron personally came out to check on us and he's a very nice and friendly guy.
November 6, 2018
Always great. Consistency rules. Super friendly people.
October 24, 2018

September 19, 2018
Great service, great music playing, & the bread pudding was to die for!
September 19, 2018
Hubby and I went for lunch recently. It was okay. The restaurant is really small (fits maybe 30 ppl?) and there were only 3 servers. The food didn't take exceptionally long to arrive, but I guess I just assumed it would've been quicker since there were so few people. But it makes sense since there aren't that many employees either. So no complaints there. They were out of potato salad, which I really wanted to try. The fried chicken was very unimpressive. Not seasoned well. The gumbo, though, was amazing according to my husband. He said it's the best he's had (second to Grandpa).
August 14, 2018
Been over a dozen times, food is usually a 4 or 5. Once and only once gumbo was just warm, other times hot and always good.
July 21, 2018
Great service, great food! Seafood gumbo and fried shrimp po-boy were delicious.
July 20, 2018
Food was not as hot as it should be. One was cold and the others lukewarm

very good and friendly service with excellent gumbo and gator bites
July 7, 2018
The restaurant is small but they were able to get people in and out.
June 12, 2018
the food is always excellent. I love their fried chicken - they do not fix the chicken until it is ordered, there is a little wait but it is well worth it
June 11, 2018
Food was excellent, gumbo was best ever I tasted. Prices are same as anywhere.
June 10, 2018
The food and the service could not be better. Wonderful experience. Love this place!
June 4, 2018
Anxious to have the new space available for dining. There is always a wait of at least 10-15 minutes if arriving at high noon Mon-Fri. The food is top notch —- best gumbo in the South!!
June 3, 2018
Our waitress, Alicia, was excellent. Her food recommendations were great! Chef Ron stopped by the table to speak and thank us for coming in.
May 20, 2018
As usual the gumbo was great and the service as friendly as could be. Between calling us "her loves" and sitting down with us for a chat our server was quick and efficient and helpful with choices. No better plane in Nola for this kind of food and service.
May 20, 2018
They had two waitresses. One was pleasant (we didn’t get her) one wasn’t so much. Food was good. A little different flavor than we were used too but the shrimp poboy was off the chain good!!! The wait is crazy as far as limited seating!!! I definitely would think they would rent a larger spaces unit as busy as it seems to be.
May 2, 2018
We wanted to experience New Orleans cuisine and was happy with our selections.
April 19, 2018
Everyone is extremely accommodating and friendly, the food is outstanding and the portions are large and presented very beautifully
April 18, 2018
My guest and I wanted a light dinner. We had a short wait for a table, It's a small dining room and always a line, I expect to wait. We had efficient and friendly service, and we enjoyed crab cakes and a po boy (New Orleans version of the Hoagie) sandwich with fries. Delicious.
April 6, 2018
The service was wonderful and the food was amazing! The gumbo was excellent!

The crab cakes are wonderful!! They say it's kid friendly, however, not if you need a booster or highchair. Bring your own. It's more like a neighborhood dining experience to me. "Regulars" will know what to expect.
March 3, 2018
Service and food as well were both awesome. The waitress was very gracious.
February 24, 2018
Small place, about 30 seats! Still only waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Seafood Gumbo worth the wait!
February 2, 2018
Gumbo was very good. Shrimp Poboy was good. Bread was soft. With such good other bread options why use such a soft bread? Give Gedusa’s a try for a plus, plus, plus, upgrade.

Add more dining space and correspondingly increase kitchen capacity.. I know you already have plans to add more tables, but don’t forget that the kitchen meds to expand also. Good luck. I will be back!

We could go every week to eat the Gumbo. Very, very good and very filling.

Terrific tasty food
November 12, 2017
Try the Bronzed Drum. It is delicious
November 10, 2017
Very small restaurant had to wait 20 minutes for a seat. Brought out appetizer and gumbo at the same time when I asked them not to. As we all were eating our gumbo they brought out the main course. I was very upset!!! They are too much in a rush to serve you and get you to leave.
November 9, 2017
Great food!
November 5, 2017
The best gumbo! Little hard to find hole in the wall secret treasure! Eat here every time we're in Nola. Never had better gumbo ever! Friendly service and chef Ron is personable. What a treasure
October 29, 2017
Food always comes out hot and fresh. The Gumbo is the best!
October 28, 2017
It's always a pleasant experience to dine at Chef Ron's. He makes the best Gumbo in New Orleans and our foremost food critic who has a radio show here says so as well. The staff is friendly and pleasant, the food is delicious and plenty of it. I have never dined here that Chef Ron did not appear in the dining room to say hello to the diners. Always a line to get in even though there is sufficient seating.
October 25, 2017
It was very crowded (a good sign), but it was definitely worth the wait. We split the boudin balls and each had a 16oz. bowl of mumbo gumbo. It was all delicious. The service was great also. We will be back.
October 20, 2017
Great customer service.
October 7, 2017

August 13, 2017
Great selection of good ol' New Orleans food.
August 5, 2017
The service was excellent Prices were reasonable and serving sizes were adequate The restaurant has great deals for kids' meals which were also reasonably priced. Finding the facility was a little challenging and adequate parking was available.
July 28, 2017
It is definitely a five star restaurant
July 24, 2017
For 5 years now I have joyfully dined here, wishing that Ron would expand to larger quarters; his food is excellent and draws crowds which could be MUCH larger!!Sarah is an excellent waiteress!!
July 24, 2017
The food is really good and the server was very nice and friendly.
July 17, 2017
Our waitress seemed "short" with us a few times. I know it was busy, but...The rice in the jambalaya was hard. I suppose I could have said something, but we were with our son with Autism and doubted he could handle more wit time. We had already waited a while for our order to be taken....in addition to the time it takes to fry chicken 3 pc dinner(it was freshly cooked and good)Also, the chicken tenders had a tempura batter...and was not tasty at all.
July 14, 2017
The place is small and not much parking.
July 12, 2017
Fantastic food and good service.
July 5, 2017
If you are looking for a good bowl of gumbo, you can not go wrong at Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop. You only have to go once and that is all it will take to have you going back and back again for a good bowl of gumbo. Yummy Yummy Yummy
June 29, 2017
Great service, excellent portion size and good service. A pleasant experience.
June 26, 2017
Very personable and great food
June 26, 2017
The staff was great and so was the service!!!
June 1, 2017
We each had different gumbo and 1/2 poyboy. The barbecue shrimp poyboy was excellent, the roast beef one was just ok. All of the gumbo was delicious.
May 19, 2017
Food looked good and tasted delicious!
May 6, 2017
The presentation was attractive and the gumbo outstanding. The chef came by and inquired about our meal. The staff was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our lunch.

ENJOYED THE FRESH DELISIOUS GOOD FOOD!!!!
January 30, 2017
Best gumbo in New orleans!
January 21, 2017
The gumbo was more like a soup; definitely too spicy (yes, I am from New Orleans). The hostess and my waitress were pushing the border of being rude. I have been there a few times, but won't return
January 6, 2017
Door open and closing with cow bell a little aggravating.
December 22, 2016
Loved that the restaurant offers lots of variety of gumbo. Also the owner came out to talk and made it an awesome experience.
December 16, 2016
Gumbo was very good
November 29, 2016
Comfy, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. I prefer my po-boy bread a little crustier.

Sarah was great
October 9, 2016
Friendly atmosphere with welcoming and attentive staff. The meal from start to finish was delicious!
September 11, 2016
Place is overrated. I'm from New Orleans, as were most people in my dining party. We basically all left disappointed. The gumbo was pale and lacking in taste, and made worse by the fact that you get too much rice and not enough gumbo! The po-boys were rather tasteless. I got a roast beef one, and the there wasn't alot of meat on it, there wasn't enough gravy, there seemed to be no mayo (even though I got it fully "dressed"), AND they used the wrong French bread! The bread was too dense and made the sandwich substandard. My husband got the fried oyster po-boy and said the breading was tasteless. I'm amazed by the great reviews of this place, especially since I can only imagine the reviewers were locals since this restaurant isn't exactly in a touristy part of town.
September 11, 2016
We celebrated several family birthdays and the staff and food were outstanding. Will definitely go back.
August 8, 2016
Food was very good but small Restaurant very Cramped and not enough seats to Dine in comfort. I would only go there with one or 2 other people. Sometimes there is a wait for seats. I was lucky went early.
August 7, 2016
very good seafood gumbo

Food,service,and atmosphere was excellent. Will definitely be back.
June 10, 2016
Everything we ordered was very good
June 9, 2016
cold and tasteless potatoe salad--the rice was bland--gumbo had a flour taste and poassibly a vinegar or tangy taste
May 27, 2016
Food quality was very good. I was a little disappointed that the poboy bread was not the traditional crispy crust bread that New Orleanians are used to getting.
May 23, 2016
Great grilled shrimp and Mango salad!
May 15, 2016
Some of us loved it and some of us didn't
April 27, 2016
Great veggie po boy and seafood gumbo was very good. Waiter very nice and efficient. Small parking lot so use street parking. Tuesday night at 6:30 had a wait list. Only complaint NO HAPPY HOUR PRICES ON DRINKS.
April 9, 2016
Gumbo was outstanding
March 28, 2016
Their gumbo was fantastic and the jefferson sauce is ridiculously good.
March 27, 2016
Chef Ron came out and greeted us. The food was phenomenal. The gluten free Gumbo and jambalaya were excellent!
March 25, 2016
Very charming little place for Metairie! Great food! Will be back!
March 19, 2016
small tables
March 14, 2016
Very small restaurantDefinitely need more spaceNo one mentioned how long wait was until asked
March 13, 2016
Chef Ron came out to check on the guests. That small gesture always means the world to my husband and i.
March 10, 2016
Great service from Jacob and we had the best gumbo ever. I personally had the shrimp creole which was excellent.
February 11, 2016
the food is always so good--we love the gumbos!

Great Grub!
January 11, 2016
Great little place for delicious gumbo. No frills but quick, friendly service. We definitely will be back.
December 31, 2015
Great but they need to have a larger location to accommodate the amount of people that love the food.
December 31, 2015
The service and food was excellent and Chef Ron came to our table at least three times to personally ask about the service and the food. We were thought the food and service was excellent and will definitely return.
December 16, 2015
Chef Ron is always there and personable. One lady that works there is a good waitress. The younger of the ladies that works there is not so friendly. It doesn't change that it's great food.
December 12, 2015
We were in the New Orleans area for a week and this was by far the best restaurant! Great fare and wonderful staff.
November 22, 2015
This was our friends first time to dine at Chef Ron's and they loved it as much as we do!It is so nice for me to have GF gumbo and it is chock full of seafood!
November 17, 2015
Best Gumbo in New Orleans
November 16, 2015
Great Food and Service!Tables VERY close together.VERY casual atmosphere.
November 4, 2015
Gumbo is the best in town; please consider relocating to a larger venue-- I am sure you have the following. Our group always enjoys the visit and food-- lovely, cordial waitresses and Chef meets and greets us each time!
November 3, 2015
The gumbo was excellent. My husband had the etouffee and doesn't care for fresh tomatoes but Chef Ron came by the table and told us next time ordering without the tomato was no issue. Great customer service!
October 8, 2015
Jambalaya was awful. French bread leaves a lot to be desired. Fried shrimp were pretty good. Disappointing overall.
October 7, 2015
The food here is phenomenal! The server was a little bit inattentive at times, but not bad (plus it started to get busy while we were there in her defense.)
October 1, 2015
Very, Very good. Great Shrimp Po-Boys, Great Gumbo. Good prices. Not fancy, but great food.
September 14, 2015
A new room for dinning has been opened up and the room smells cigarette smoke. Apparently the a/c system must be connected to the bar next door for this room. The original part of the restaurant does not have this cigarette order. In the future we will ask not to be seated in this new section. If cigarette order is offensive to you, you do not want to sit in this new section.
August 31, 2015
Chef Ron does a great job in the kitchen with all his menu items. I had drum fish with oysters and it was great. The crab butter was tasty
August 26, 2015
always a good meal and great staff
July 31, 2015
The food was out of this world good. The staff very friendly and Chef Ron comes out and greets you and make sure the meal is what you hoped for.

The food was great! service was good, Chef Ron came out and spoke to everyone.. and even told us where we should try for be Beignets and coffee a local place. :)
May 24, 2015
Food was great, only thing we didn't care for is they only have 1 high chair ad 1 booster seat, not enough when many families are eating. We couldn't enjoy our meal the way we normally do because we had to hold the baby. Otherwise, service and food were food.
May 23, 2015
Food was cooked to perfection. Have not had a meal at Chef Ron's that I did not enjoy.
May 19, 2015
even though we hadn't heard of this restaurant before, we really enjoyed our lunch there, and are glad we tried it! The service was quick and very friendly, and the food was made with very fresh, quality ingredients. We will definitely go back. NOT a fancy restaurant, but a really nice restaurant nonetheless.

April 27, 2015
Chicken Jefferson and Grilled Vegetables were awesome. Friendly staff. Knowledgeable waiter.
April 20, 2015
Server not friendly. One server serving all tables and bar area. Kitchen looks dirty. Kitchen staff looked dirty.
April 4, 2015
the food was delicious. we had gumbo for the first time--beyond wonderful! have a piece of pecan pie--perfectly made--not to sweet. the plate presentation was pretty.
April 3, 2015
They expanded too!
March 28, 2015
Its overall a good experience, but it would be nicer if they took reservations so we didn't feel like we have to scramble or wait while tables were being put together. Additionally a suggestion would be to keep the restaurant open longer as most people I'll still keep coming in and would love to eat there.

This place should be on Diners, Drive In and Dive's. One of the best places I have ever eaten. GREAT!
September 25, 2014
Other then the Oyster sandwich being overpriced for the size of it, everything else was great. The crab cakes were especially great.
September 21, 2014
We live in Kenner and decided to give this restaurant a try. It is definitely a winner! We both enjoyed the gumbo; I go the traditional and it was the best I've had. My husband got the gumbo mumbo it had catfish fillet and fried oysters in the gumbo and he enjoyed it very much. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer it was soooo good. We definitely will go again.
August 27, 2014
Great gumbo...one of the best.
August 23, 2014
Great gumbo and service
August 17, 2014
I went with some family from back north and they all loved it; we tried the gumbo, shrimp pasta, gator, chicken imperial, spaghetti & meatballs. It was all amazing. The waitress was awesome, left her a hefty tip for being so cool and taking care of us.
August 17, 2014

August 11, 2014
Delicious mumbo gumbo! Lots of ingredients, including shrimp, sausage, okra and tomatoes and topped with fried shrimp. Great presentation too. Service was great, staff is friendly.
August 6, 2014
The seafood gumbo was very good.
August 6, 2014
It's a locals spot...small, with a bar and really friendly people. It doesn't look like much...but the food is excellent. Loved the shrimp scampi and gumbo. The fried chicken is fresh and cooked to order. My husband enjoyed it very much! They also had alligator and po boys.
August 4, 2014
the place looks dirty. it looks messy with the way things are not stored. the gumbo fell really short. the staff was slighly irritating with suggesting that you order appetizer and then dessert. would never ever go there again or recommend it.
July 30, 2014
crab cakes were as good as a 5 star restaurant and the shrimp mango salad was too
July 30, 2014
Wait was a bit long for the food, realizing though we were a large party of 7. The restaurant is busy with a small number of tables and two servers.
July 10, 2014
Had the BBQ shrimp Quesadilla appetizer. And the Mumbo Gumbo. Both were delicious. Will definitely go back.
July 10, 2014
Great service. Exellent food. We will definitely be back!
June 29, 2014
Excellent food in a small restaurant.
June 21, 2014
the food was delicious and filling, and the chef came out personally to check on us.
June 16, 2014
Our female waitress was excellent. The owner/chef came from the kitchen to make sure we were satisfied with the food. However, the male waiter who greeted us at the door was very rude because we sat at the table too soon. We waited for the table to be busted. But he seemed to think we should have waited for his permission. I am handicapped and cannot stand long.
June 15, 2014
chef ron and staff are very congenial!
May 30, 2014
Great tasty food.Great service.Chef Ron came to the table to talk with us.

Love that I can eat there with a menu of Gluten Free Food!
May 17, 2014
Incredible gumbo and fried chicken. So crowded at lunch that you KNOW it's good. And it was, despite the wait of making every meal from scratch. Will be back for sure.
May 2, 2014
Best hole in the wall I've ever found
April 29, 2014
Ron's is a hidden gem! We found it through resturant.com and are so happy we did. Definitely going back ASAP
April 28, 2014
Great stuffed Mumbo Gumbo with fried catfish on top. It was a special
April 25, 2014
It was great food. We had shrimp creole, crawfish étouffée and Mac and cheese, bread pudding. Would very much recommend this place. It's just hole in the wall but don't let that scare you great food.
April 21, 2014
Chef Ron's gumbo and crab cakes are excellent. I ordered a large bowl of gumbo and enjoyed every taste.

January 29, 2014
Food Was Really Good !
January 13, 2014
Best meal we had in New Orleans! Jefferson Chicken was out of this world, and Bronzed Drum Fish was excellent as well. Of course, we also had a cup of gumbo to share as an appetizer--there's a reason this place is known for its gumbo!!! Yum! All around fabulous place.
December 21, 2013
Chef Ron is excellent! Delicious food every time we go.
December 19, 2013
The food and service was great and we got a chance to talk with Chef Ron. We will probably return for a future visit when we are down south visiting my daughter.
November 29, 2013
Very warm and welcoming. Ron came out several times to chat with us.
November 26, 2013

Restaurant was kind of dirty crackers and trash on the floor at lunch time????
October 31, 2013
It doesn't look that great from the outside but the inside is very nice and clean. The food is great and the gumbo very good.

Excellent sesrvice, superb food. Friendly folks who know how to cook and make customers happy
July 15, 2013
The food was exceptional, fresh, perfectly seasoned, cooked perfectly and large portions. The deserts were to die for. Everything we ate was awesome!! On vacation in New Orleans and found on restaurant.com and researched reviews and will go back before going home even without a certificate!!
July 1, 2013
In a city known for seafood (which I grew up in), they have THE best marinated crab claws!!! Chef Ron always comes out and talks to us -- just a very pleasant experience.
June 25, 2013
We really enjoyed this restaurant. This was the first restaurant from the Restaurant.com list for New Orleans that had everything we wanted was available and on the menu. Ron the Chef was actually in the restaurant. That is rare!. The boudin balls were awesome and the Seafood Gumbo was the best in New Orleans. We tried many. Others were too watery. My kids have become professional Po Boy eaters. They agree that Ron's has the best shrimp Po Boy. We have eaten at some of the most famous ones on the tourist path. They do not compare. Shout OUT to Ron for going things the right way. The boudin balls are a must have.... Do not go without trying them.
June 25, 2013
Ron was in the restaurant. He came out and greeted us. He even offered us samples of his Gumbo. That does not happen often. It is a nice touch. After tasting several others, I wished I came to Ron's first for the Seafood Gumbo. Even my kids liked his shrimp Po'Boy better as well.
May 29, 2013
Great food, friendly staff, great service.
May 21, 2013
The food was excellent.
May 14, 2013
Chef Ron took it upon himself to welcome us and upon request told us about the specials. He is very approachable and makes the dining experience a very nice one.
May 6, 2013
Nice selection for this small place. Pleasant staff and good food.
April 15, 2013
A lot of food (Gumbo)Delicious.Took home a fish dinner to eat this evening.Can't wait to taste it.
April 6, 2013
Fried oysters were prepared very lightly. Gumbo always good!
March 10, 2013
The waitress was very pleasant and helpful.
February 16, 2013
A bit slow, but it is Mardi Gras so there were a number of out of towers there. Food was good but far too little sausage, okra and chicken in a large order of gumbo. It was very tasty but with so little meat I'd pass on it next time I am looking for a place to go. Being diabetic we need the protein.
February 11, 2013
great gumbo, roast beef po-boy was good dissapointed that poboys are on pistolettes instead of french bread loaf style bread
January 22, 2013
Friendly service, outstanding food, amazing gumbo... we love this place and will DEFINITELY be back.
January 20, 2013
Great family atmosphere. The food was great.
January 18, 2013
The gumbo was AMAZING, and the Bayou Scampi was also excellent. Fresh, hot bread, delicious bread pudding, and extremely friendly service. We'll definitely be back.
January 18, 2013
Very good seafood gumbo and boudin balls.
December 7, 2012
Very pricy...2 people total bill $52.00 with no dessert and only one soft drink purchased.
December 2, 2012
Cute little location, easy to miss if not from the area
November 16, 2012
The gumbo was greatm but the sandwich was soggy. The bread should be toasted and maybe even served a short time after the gumbo/soup. Chef/owner very plesant and likeable.
November 7, 2012
too pricey and too much food. food was good, but $13 for meatballs and spaghetti for lunch was too much. I couldn't finish the lunch and I usually do. the gumbo was good but priced like a finer restaurant.
October 8, 2012
Food was excellent
June 5, 2012
The food and service was excellent. We will certainly make this a regular family dining place!
April 11, 2012
I didn't like that you couldn't use 2 certificates at the same time. Service was slow and entrees did not come out at the same time.
