Well,=20
I ventured into this restaurant with my husband and a friend in tow.... = it was late and we needed something close by....

The decor is yuppie roadhouse... very clean,  kitschy.... beer cans all = over the place. When you walk into the restaurant there is a barrel of = peanuts... with buckets in it so you can scoop some out and snack at the = bar.

We got a table and ordered dinner......food was cajun type food.... I = had a prime rib poor boy (meat was extremely tender, well seasoned with = a touch too much pepper and salt), the french fries were yum... = shoestring fries with cajun seasoning.  Cole slaw was very good as well. =
 he poor boys and gumbo were reasonably priced.  The entrees were a bit = more expensive.  My husband had the shrimp poor boy... the shrimp were = nice size, had a crispy breading.. very tasty.  The service was good , = the waitress was very nice and did come back and check on us from time = to time.  =20

To be honest, the food is not exceptional but it is tasty and I would = recommend going IF you are in the neighbor hood. I don't think i would = travel way across town to eat there.
