In Short
Zydeco music plays as college students and Evanstonians relax at checkered vinyl tablecloth-topped tables amidst hutches of colorful dishes, vintage product containers and advertising memorabilia. The Southern delta cooking includes cornmeal johnnycakes with honey butter; spicy barbecued shrimp; and hot, juicy, cornmeal-crusted oysters. There's also a Southern sampler that features jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice. For dessert, pecan pie is a crowd-pleaser.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm from Texas and when I need good southern, homecooking I head to Evanston. The fried okra reminds me of moms (shhh, don't tell her). The biscuits and gravy are a must for brunch...seriously, I can't say enough about how good they are. Love the fried catfish (would throw some black pepper and canjun spice in the mix)...but it is really good. Love the fried chicken...I think you see the pattern here for fried! The service is great, but I do miss the chicory coffee...bring iti back! Def my favorite place for southern and soul food!

There's nothing like sitting down at a restaurant and getting warm mini corn-pancakes in the bread basket. They've got crazy flavorful Jamaican chicken wings and huge salads. Sadly, I was a little dissappointed with their cornbread though...dry and didn't have a strong corn flavor. :( Decent prices though!

I didn't see any bait here but the kitchen sure is good! This is New Orleans style food at its down-home best. Having lived in the Big Easy for a few years, we were happy to find a restaurant where they know how to fix gumbo, crawfish etouffee, and catfish along with red beans-and-rice and black-eyed peas. Bon appetit!

What to Drink:
The bloody marys are moderately spiced and served in mason jars. For something sweeter, go with the mimosa--it's served in a smallish glass, but contains a healthy dose of champagne.
