About:Originally the New Garland Coffee Shop, owner Jimmy Bannos transformed it into Heaven on Seven in 1985 after Jimmy discovered southern cooking. It quickly became the place for Cajun food in the city. The pace is frantic during the week, when Loop-folk jam in for gumbo, soft shell crab, jambalaya and assorted micro-brews. There are a few other locations throughout the city.

    Horrible service. Food is o.k. but not worth the hassle of dealing with the staff.

    Dinner started off well enough with OK crab cakes and tomato soup. But then I had the pulled pork (which tasted as if it was simmered in the soup I just ate) along with gritless grits and watery hoppin' john. I was hoping for hearty and earthy but my stomach was turning knots by the middle of the meal: everything was over-processed and even mushy. This is like the McDonalds of New Orleans cuisine.

    I had really high hopes for this restaurant, but I won't be coming back. Easily the worst Cajan I've ever had.

    This is anything but. Changing the name doesen't change the place, or the food. It's still the same coffee shop. It's also hard to get to.
    Don't be fooled by the photo. It's a store. The place is several floors up, and the only view you might see, is from the only window, in back of the greasy kitchen, that faces the alley- which is a resting place for the "flying rats" that crowd on the ledge.
