Just had the Creole Trio with jambalaya, gumbo and red beans and rice. The food is phenomenal! Kenny and Terrell are the best and treat you as if you are family. I highly recommend this place and they have great outdoor seating and authentic indoor seating and decor as well. Takes me right back to Nola! Thanks gentlemen and keep up the Great ambiance.

This soul food restaurant is located near the St. Petersburg Warehouse Art District. It is a couple of miles from Tropicana Field and next door to The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum It has been a staple of the community for eight years. The portions are satisfying. The food is flavorful even when warmed up at home (do not forget your sauces… the bread pudding has one as well as fish) Ask them to warm the sauce up that goes on your bread pudding…just a little…and pore it on (you are welcome).The prices are competitive. There is ample parking in the rear. Currently they are only offering carry out ordering. Consequently indoor seating is not available. But, they do allow you to eat on their patio. I highly recommend giving them a try… the sweet potato fries were “to go back for” and the corn muffins actually had corn in them. There service was welcoming. The order was brought out to the table (be kind and tip).

I read an article about this place so I went to visit. I ordered the Creole Trio (Shrimp Étouffée, Shrimp & Grits, Creole Gumbo) and the regular beignets. The beignets did not have any flavor and were not soft and fluffy. The only thing that had an ounce of flavor was the Gumbo. The remainder of the food lacked flavor. Disappointed as I had such high hopes based on what I read.

I always try to find local eats when I am on vacation, I work at a local place so I know how important it is to support local businesses. With that being said this place was amazing. The food and flavors were on point the staff were very friendly the owner came out and talked to us we felt very welcome. The ambience was nice, it was a nice treat to end our vacation so glad we found them. If you want tasty creole food this is the place!
