In Short – Smart downtowners know about the soulful Southern fare at this wonderfully reliable Louisiana-style cafeteria. Discerning diners and tough critics alike agree that this is the place for jambalaya, buttery shrimp etouffee, red beans and rice with link sausage, and homemade jalapeno cornbread.
