This place is my favorite in West Monroe. So fresh and delicious every time. Tastes like home cooking. They offer two entrees and several sides to choose from every time. The owners are really friendly. The in-store grocery has great, mostly local options that you can’t find anywhere else in town

I am so grateful for this local business. It’s one of the only places I can trust to get quality food without unhealthy sh*t in it here in the Deep South. Our community is fortunate to have this place. It’s a wealth of resources and makes sourcing food so much easier. Staff is incredible and lunch menu is

Writing this after eating here for the first time. The lady at the cash register was the sweetest and answered all of my questions. The place itself is so cute and is stocked full of gluten free groceries. Way more than I get at the chain places in town! I got the chimichurri chicken with roasted garlic sweet potatoes. There isn’t a bite left. Some of the best food I’ve had since being diagnosed with celiac! Will 100% be back.

First, this is a restaurant that also has a selection of health foods/ drinks. When you walk in you come in through the store entrance; the dining area is to the left of the sales counter. Order at the counter then seat yourself. Each day their menu changes and consists of 2 entree choices or soup. With the entree you get 2 sides. They put out the new menu every Sunday (online) and it doesn’t repeat items until 8 weeks. Their grocery selection is small, but probably has some of the most popular items. They have some freezers that carry drinks, eggs, meats, and various frozen foods. They also offer frozen casseroles to take home.

I love everything about this place. The food is so good and the people are genuinely friendly. I have had their hot food and also their refrigerated “to go” food. My favorite so far is the tamale lasagna and the from scratch gluten free chicken pot pie.

Fantastic locally-owned health-oriented lunch restaurant and grocery store. For lunch, they offer delicious, fresh, locally-sources meals. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant. They support local farms and sell a wide range of vegetables, beef, lamb, eggs and casseroles. Ask about their fresh vegetable service from Inglewood Farms. They also sponsor great events such as classes and Farm-To-Table dinners. If you need a healthy lunch to recharge or if you need celiac/ friendly meals, this is your place. It’s a great place for lunch meetings, healthy family meal or dining alone or quick stop off the Interstate for travelers who want to drop in and get a quick look at the Ouachita River and historic Antique Alley area of West Monroe.

I can’t even believe I found this little gem. So many gluten free options. There were to-go items as well as a small grocery store for shopping. All the food was delicious. It’s definitely worth a trip even if you aren’t gluten and dairy free.

I ordered meal prep. I enjoyed every single thing but the shrimp dish I ordered. And I kinda suspected it wouldn’t be my fave when I ordered it but wanted to give something different a try. There was nothing wrong with it. I did eat it. It just wasn’t my favorite. The tamale pie was my favorite but I enjoyed everything else. I also tried the coffee shop and it was pretty good! An oatmylk latte with a touch of maple syrup is where it’s at! I would order the latte and the meal prep again for sure.
