    We had a friend from Baton Rouge join us for lunch and so many highlight. Pork Rinds with the homemade sauce are a best. The tuna appetizer was amazing. Husband loves the Roast Beef Debris sandwich. The margaritas were great and although our waiter was new (Benjamin) - he did a great job.

    This is my second visit. I enjoy the location and food. Our server was great - he helped us with substitutions. In addition he gave us the history of the building and area. I was a bit disappointed that the fried green tomatoes had too much breading - I'm used to panko and delicate. The onion rings were super. We were sorry to be too full for dessert.
