This was a great time! Service was epic and everyone was so personable. Greg is such a cool guy. Loved the food and drink, but the atmosphere and friendliness really put it over the top. If you go, you have got to try the crawfish and andouille eggrolls!

We watched Guy Fieri‘s DDD, and they featured this restaurant. My husband has been expecting this place for a while and tonight we finally came to check it out. The good thing is their Po’ Boy is kinda delicious, I really liked it but my husband thought it’s lack of flavor. The sweet potato fries are very yummy. But the Jambalaya was not good, it’s too plain, both of us didn’t like it. The service was a little bit slow.

This place was wonderful! They had the sound on for the Aztec game. They had a good selection of beers on tap. I sat at the bar and had the catfish po’boy, which was delicious! The catfish breading had the perfect amount of seasoning. When it came out, I wished I had remembered to order it blackened, but one bite, and I knew I had hit the catfish jackpot! The red beans and rice are the best I’ve had in San Diego. They have great flavor as well! Can’t wait to bring my other half with me next time!

The place was pretty slow at the time of my visit. The server/bartender was pretty slow in bringing refills or asking if everything was going well. The service lacked what the food didn’t. The food was delicious.

Not a great experience. We sat on the lower patio. The flies attacking our party of 4, as well as our food and drinks, were relentless. Honestly, almost everything we ordered was a HUGE disappointment. The flour taste in the roux, over powered the Gumbo and Shrimp Etouffee. What made it really bad, the rice in both dishes, was undercooked.

Went for lunch after the museums at Balboa Park. Great service, great food and a desert special that was out of this world. Can’t wait to go back.

The flat bread pizza is delicious. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Good customer service. The tables look clean. Try the meatballs. The bread they serve with the meatballs not good, everything else was delicious. Prices reasonable for the area. Wait time was regular, great atmosphere.

The best staff and experience you will have in San Diego. Greg and Chef Reuben are two of the greatest proprietors of any business. The service is immaculate the food is RIDICULOUS and delicious but they are two of the most generous people you would ever want to meet and interact with. They treat you like dear friends and personally ensure that you are taken care of. These gentlemen, the food, and the establishment are FIRST CLASS. Can’t wait to see you fellas next year for sure.
