The food of course! Their creative dishes will completely blow your mind. The sausage and alligator cheesecake is legendary and delicious.
Another amazing dish that is truly unique is the fried roast beef po-boy.

I don't know how they deep fry this, but it's totally delicious.
And then...this seasonal dish...the soft shell po-boy called "Godzilla Meets Fried Green Tomato".
