I'm so glad this California transplant tried the shrimp poboy. I had it without mayo... The shrimp is so delicious. Not sure if it was the butter in the shrimp or bread, it was so good. Ill have to come back when im in Baton Rouge. Excuse the messy photo, its damn good

Look, this is a well known establishment that's been here longer than most. Go in there and grab anything off that menu, I promise, it's delicious and affordable. I personally enjoy the pork chop burger. I mean, where else you gone find a pork chop burger!

The food was amazing. Popcorn shrimp and shrimp fried rice both come generously proportioned. The fish strips nearly fall apart in your mouth, lightly battered, crisp outside n jucy center.. so delicious, you could say they are cooked to perfection. However, the actual size of each strip the fish is cut into...rather small. Nonetheless still 100% pleased with my purcase, if i HAD to come up with a food related aspect to complain about, the size of the catfish strips is honestly all I could come up with. On the other hand if we are speaking on service, the cashier wasn't of much help, After voicing outloud it was my first time trying Johns i expected some sort of suggestion or recommendation however I barely even got a response from the young lady whom looked up from her phone only for a brief moment which is when she handed me a print out version of the menu I was point at when I was attempting to ask a question about the menu.. but all together I was pleased and will be coming back!!
