This place is about as authentic as you can get to New Orleans. It doesn't try to live up to its atmosphere. I can't tell if the people who own the place used to live in New Orleans, but they do act as if they do. I really hate to say that I believe that the place is authentic, as that its decorated with a few beads, and a \"burbon street sign.\" However, the beer lights are authentic [had the new orleans feathers], and the LSU flags were dead on. Given that it was authentic, the food and service is not fast. I'm not sure if its because the kitchen is slow or if they are meticulous. \n\nThe food is simple. The place was packed [at lunch on a Monday]. The food had a small kick to it. The prices do seem a little high, but the portions are large. If you get a poboy, there will be a lot on your plate, enough for more than one meal. Additionally, given a no/low carb diet, you can ask for the rice&beans to be without the rice. Awesome! This place is comparable to my diet, close to where I work and live, and is close to average for a decent plate of food. I'm sold!\n\nI had the catfish, and I liked it. I dinned with family members [who had never had Cajun food before] and they liked it as well.\n\nLastly: The TVs. Typically I abhor a television at a restaurant, but the sound was muted and it didn't really take away from the atmosphere. People were happy to be here, liked the food, and were happy to be around each other.
