After waiting 30 minutes in the hot sun and another 20 minutes in line inside you figure the food would be great. Nope. We ordered 4 shrimp po-boys, a cup of gumbo, a order of fries and 4 sodas....all for the family friendly price of $79.00. This place is a tourist trap. Oh...by the way the food was very average. This place should not be categorized as cheap eats. I live in Chicago and I don't know any run -down cafeteria style joints that can get away with charging you almost $100.00 for a veined shrimp sandwich on supermarket french bread with shreded cabbage. Please do yourself a favor and find a better place to eat. Fussy and unfriendly service also.

Pros: Good location. Easy to find

Cons: Expensive. Run down Cafeteria. Poor Service.

Editor's Review

The perfect po'boy is worth the wait at this cafeteria-style deli.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Mother's ain't roomy. The lunch line stretches out the door and down the block, so come early--or late.
