This friendly restaurant serves up large portions of Southern-style cooking. Specialties include shrimp and grits, sauteed spinach, blackened catfish and crab and crawfish cakes. Weekend brunch is popular -- expect a bit of a wait. Popular items include the corn cakes, crunchy French toast (French toast battered in corn flakes), chicken sausage and Bloody Marys. The folk-art decor makes for a warm, pleasant setting.
