General Info

Smoky gumbo is thick with spicy roux base, white rice, baby shrimp and chunks of andouille sausage. Jambalaya is no carbon-copy gumbo like at other spots - it's rich with tomato and bright with herbs. Dirty rice is authentic and earthy from spleen; collard greens have heat and smoke from flecks of smoked turkey; and the shrimp po'boy is unforgettable - garlic toast spread with rosemary-tomato remoulade and topped with a heaping pound of perfectly crispy shrimp. End with a slice of warm pineapple-caramel bread pudding, what a treat. By the way, meals are prepared to order so you may have to wait but it's worth it!

Lagniappe now offers seating for about 20, but the owner is currently re-modeling the 2nd floor for additional seating where they will offer weekend jazz sets.
