The catfish is always flavored nicely and the salad is always fresh!

Great comfort food. I keep coming back for the <<taggedItemId=131550548>>Jambalaya<</taggedItemId>> and the <<taggedItemId=131550549>>Crawfish Pasta<</taggedItemId>>. Muffaleta sandwich is delicious but HUGE.

Great comfort food. I keep coming back for the Jambalaya and the Crawfish Pasta. Muffaleta sandwich is delicious but HUGE.

I was really excited to try this food and was sorely disappointed with the outcome. Couldn't stomach the Fried Seafood Platter. The crawfish pasta looked good and portion was big but still unappetizing. Overall for price not worth it, pictures are a bit deceiving

The gumbo bowl was TINY. Absolutely not worth $16. The pasta was $4 more and was about 5 times the amount of food. Pasta was great as always. 

I'm from Louisiana and I love spice but this particular item isn't supposed to be this spicy... salty, overly spicy, bread mushy/ greasy, and the texture of bread off.  I would take it off the menu, horrible representation of how a muffuletta is supposed to taste.
