Like the others have said, hidden in plain site.
Had the 'fried' catfish, baked mac & cheese, and a green salad.
Very good, very small & very friendly.
Hiding in plain sight. This is a place can walk right past and not notice. The store is narrow, the sign small. But its done well in this spot since the mid-1980s because it is a wonderful, reasonably priced neighborhood slice of wonderful.
The menu is hard to find. People just seem to know what's available and what the prices are. In addition to regular deli items, they serve all kinds of extra fish items. Its also a small grocery, jammed with all kinds of items.
The shrimp po boy is not much bigger than a small, but was high quality and packed full of medlum-to-large sized fresh ones. My fried fish plate was about as good as you could ever get in a deli -- extremely fresh, moist, lightly battered. I got mine with two sides -- the macaroni (and cheese) and cooked peas.
There were 5 or 6 tables jammed in there, but there could have been more if they'd clear away some of the stacked papers, memorabilia and the piano (!) But that would take away from its local flavor. I'm glad that stuff is there.
It is hard to picture a better little neighborhood deli.
Wonderful local color. VERY inexpensive. Home cooking, po-boys, corporate executives stand next to Meyer maids.
