Gracious staff, great food, cool history and a delightful view. If you're near Monroe, this is well worth a visit. I adored the whole experience. The turtles playing around in the river are an added entertainment value. The BBQ shrimp and those burgers...yum!

This place was amazing. Sat outside so quiet and not too hot. The Gumbo, shrimp Rakhee, and banana foster was the best!!! This should be a regular stop if you are traveling thru and want a great place to eat. Date night with my hubby❤️ and still have miles to go before stopping.
