I tried the salmon, and left wishing I had tried the catfish plate, which is what they're known for. I thought the salmon was just all right, a little on the fishy side, and I've cooked salmon enough at home to know you can make farm-raised salmon NOT taste fishy with the right marinade/seasoning. I was there a little before 5 pm and waited about 30 minutes in line to place my order. Once I placed my order they had my food to me pretty quick though. The place was hopping and I noticed most people ordered the catfish, so definitely will go back and try that. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant--has a laidback, casual feel to it.
Guess the shrimp fly too! Because there were maybe 2 and a half on my shrimp po-boy and they were flattened to the thickness of a quarter. For $8 I was expecting a bit more. This restaurant wouldn't last 3 minutes in New Orleans. They know (in N.O.) how to make a po-boy. I guess in L.R., Ar., it will fly, but not with this girl who has seen and tasted real po-boys before. I hope their other menu items are better. I would hate for tourists to L.R. to leave with the "this leaves a lot to be desired" feeling I had.
holy smokes.. this place is awesome.. a different special for every day of the week. If you go on a weekend be assured you can find
this place by the line outside the door. the fish is awesome,
and you if your order "snappy" it will be extra spicy..
don't worry about the line, its worth the wait, and they'll whet your appetite by serving you hushpuppies while you wait.
