Hungry patrons will find a thoroughly southern menu at Chef Tam's Underground Cafe. From Tot'choes, seasoned and fried tater tots covered in macaroni, smoked bacon, pico and signature sauce, to Bayou fries served with seafood cream sauce, decadence is served here in spades.
We'd highly recommend trying the grown folks chicken and waffles, and there's really nothing like the Pontchartrain salmon. The New Orleans salmon is truly unreal, and it's served with dirty rice and seafood cream sauce. Yum!
Bring the whole family for honey corn and sweet potato fries, and make sure to order dessert. If you haven't tried peach cobbler nachos, you really haven't lived yet.
Chef Tam's Underground Cafe knows good food, and they know how to serve it up hot and well. Come for an experience in true southern hospitality, and we'd recommend coming ready to indulge. This is no place for a diet, folks.
Chef Tam's Underground Cafe is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
