Popular cafeteria style joint, drawing crowds with po-boys and down home Southern fare since 1938.

People love this spot for lunch, I'm not always sure why- but it stands as a NOLA institution. You can learn a lot about our lunch counter culture here. Cafeteria style, the crawfish etouffe is amazing, and they are famous for debris sandwich. Best to go off hours otherwise the line can be quite a wait.
