Authentic Louisiana Cuisine made from scratch. 727-546-6732. We've been serving authentic Louisiana cooking in Pinellas Park for over 25 Years! We started out in our Park Blvd location, where we were on the bayou from 1996-2019. We left that location in August of 2019 and opened on 66th Street in September of 2019. Although our location and ambience have changed, our food and key staff remain the same. All prices, items and availability subject to change without notice.
