If you are looking for a classic poboy in Lafayette, this is your spot. Growing up this was a special treat and I can still taste the fried shrimp poyboys from my youth. During Lent they also have a fried crawfish poboy which is an absolute treat.

1950s styled classic dinner with large booths and black and white tile. I can remember coming here as a kid and drinking a chocolate malt while sitting at the counter. The food is reasonably priced and always spot on. A good friend actually owns this and if you see an older guy with silver hair (Jimmy) tell him that Jason & Jen sent you!
