NOLA vibes meet Brooklyn w/ amazing oysters & elevated po-boys. Don't miss the $25 lunch deal!
This Fort Greene establishment draws heavy inspiration from New Orleans, creating a unique dining experience with its 1950s-inspired aesthetic. They offer a variety of oyster preparations, from classic raw to charbroiled with garlic butter, and elevate the humble po-boy using soft milk bread. A $25 lunch deal featuring head-on shrimp and three sides provides excellent value.
The restaurant offers a New Orleans-inspired menu with a focus on seafood. Standout dishes include charbroiled oysters, smoked fish dip, and a 'seafood and three' option. While the po-boys are noted as being on milk bread and generally enjoyed, one reviewer found them lacking. The cornbread is highlighted as exceptionally good.
"Customers highly recommend the charbroiled oysters, smoked fish dip, and the 'seafood and three' option. The cornbread is also a standout, described as exceptionally good."
