I like this place, especially for breakfast time. Every time I am near Harahan, I always end up going there for a quick bite. It's never too crowded or loud. Food is always good and comes out in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this place and give it a 5 stars!!!

Really enjoyed breakfast this morning! Decided to search out somewhere we have not tried and that was not far from home (Westwego) ! Not featured in pictures was pancake stack w/banana foster sauce topped with pecans and powder sugar! It was ALL really good! Highly recommended! I counted about 9 tables (8 of which seat 4, 1 seats 2). I saw a GOOD AMOUNT of to go orders flying out and yet the pace of food for dine in was still pretty good. Atmosphere was cute, clean and intimate.
