Specialty drinks , ask for the Taste of Louisiana and the Seafood Gumbo if you're a newcomer. :)

Try the fried spinach ! It's fried and so adds some grease to your diet, but it's tasty and the texture is one-of-a-kind!

Had "a taste of Louisiana " Rice was mush, jambalaya tastes like it had been sitting all day, and the gumbo was soup . The best thing on the plate was the fried shrimp . Thumbs down, wannabe bayou.

Kristin Streicher Houston

First time they had the regular brunch menu . Not a bad spot if the wait at capital club 16 is too long for weekend brunch .
