This place is so good. We wanted to eat here yesterday but were told they ran out of food when we arrived. Taking that as a good sign we came back today.
I got the bread pudding and I want like 10 more. It’s rich, and sweet, and hearty. Lots of soft and crispy textures. We also got the jambalaya and it’s super good. Great depth of flavor with a little kick to it.
The service was ok, got our order slightly wrong but we were able to go back and fix it quickly. The atmosphere is ok, it’s just small and there aren’t many seats, so we decided to take out and eat back at the hotel.
This is an interesting place. It’s small but has some seating available inside and outside. Parking is kind of scarce right next to store, so your best bet is to walk. They serve breakfast all day and have sandwiches and other miscellaneous food items. I got ceasar salad, shrimp and grits and oatmeal. All of that took 25 mins to make. Everything was okay, but nothing to brag about. I had about 5 shrimp in my shrimp and grits small bowl. The Caesar salad was a little wilted. The oatmeal was a good amount for the price, plus the cook added extra love to the oatmeal for me.
They could do a little better maintenance with up keeping the appearance of the store and cleanliness behind the counter/kitchen. I wouldn’t mind trying them again and trying by something different.
Don’t let appearances deceive you — looks like a hole in the wall cafe but damn! They don’t skimp on flavor (and portions), so delicious. Ordered the Pasta Yaya, Voodoo Jambalaya, and bread pudding. Wish I had a bigger stomach. Everything was seasoned so well and satisfying. If you’re passing by for work or pleasure — or just happen to be lucky enough to live nearby — highly recommended!
We’re in Atlanta for a few days for Christmas and stopped by this place near our hotel as it has good reviews. It didn’t disappoint. We ordered the voodoo jambalaya and shrimp and grits. Food was good, especially the voodoo jambalaya which was very flavorful, and the shop owner was really friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone that stays nearby and wants a light or casual meal.
This Creole food counter has all your NOLA staples, from gumbo to jambalaya to bread pudding. We got 2 orders of jambalaya, and the staff was happy enough to accommodate us by leaving the meat and seafood out of one of the orders.
The interior is pretty small and there's just enough room for 2 or 3 groups, so we grabbed our food to go. Unfortunately, they didn't have water cups, just bottled water to purchase. The food was done pretty quickly and we walked over to the nearby Centennial Olympic Park to enjoy it.
There was a decent amount of food in each order. The protein-less version was essentially saucy rice, which tasted good but was probably less filling than intended. I was a bit surprised at the prices given that there's no service. It wasn't too busy when we ordered, but walking by later, it did seem like a decently popular spot, as it's in a great location downtown.
Delicious gumbo and the chicken in the Mac and cheese was seasoned perfectly. It’s a tiny shop but worth a stop versus the other places in the area. We checked out of the Hilton nearby and grabbed a bite to eat here before heading out of town.
I had a massive veggie omelette that came with grits and spicy potatoes.
The food was filling and tasty - also a massive portion for $9.
The place had atmosphere in buckets and the food was delicious. I mean, apart from grits as I loathe grits. But if you like buttery cheesy grits, this is your place.
The food in short: excellent.
The counter staff seemed a little disinterested this morning - do you have coffee? No. (Coffee pot behind her, signs for coffee all over) Not exactly a great answer - a modest explanation would have helped, or a nod to coffee being available later perhaps.
Still, I’d go back for the food and the vibes.
The food is extremely fresh and flavorful. There were 4 of us who all ordered something different and we all really liked our meals! The food was seasoned perfectly for me, but was a little mild for my husband, which I appreciate because you can always add more heat but can’t make it milder.
There aren’t many places to sit and it was a little dirty inside, but that’s the only complaint. The food was exceptional and we would definitely go back!
It was perfect, food was delicious!!!! Fair price. I was shocked to find such great SEASONED!! food in the downtown area. Usually you have to travel in neighborhoods to find them. TJ was very helpful recommended great dishes. Hats off to the cook Chuck! Will definitely be back before I leave to Chicago
Hearty and tasty dishes - thick pasta with generous hunks of dark meat chicken, shrimp, or sausage. The Mac & Cheese was RICH in a good way. Tall on flavor. We didn't finish our bowls. Wanted bread pudding as well but they were out.
Service is slower than you'd like but not slower than you'd expect from a two person staff. The woman working the counter was tired and busy but super sweet and polite with us.
The interior is definitely dated (at best) and a little gross (at worst). Caked dust on wall fixtures and sticky surfaces near the utensils. Our table (one of 2 in the tiny space) was so wobbly as to surprise us it stoof through the meal. Single restroom was clean, though, but a line to use it the entire time we were there.
Definitely worth trying, although if warmer it might be better to sit outside.
