“ Had the New Orleans Sampler and some seafood gumbo. Every single dish was delicious. That jambalaya is the best I've ever had! The owner and staff are also super friendly and lovely to chat with. Will definitely make a point to stop here when I'm in the area. ”

“ FANTASTIC FOOD!! Hands down best jambalaya I have EVER had!! This little cafe’ ought to have a line around the block! I passed by a few times and tonight I got curious and stopped in. WOW!!! I had the red beans & rice, collard greens, crawfish etouffee, jambalaya plate and oh man!!! The crawfish etouffee was delicious and I went home thrilled to have gone in. I WILL be back. Oh - a tip for anyone ordering delivery, keep in mind how fried food travels when boxed and if that bothers you, order yourself some jambalaya instead. You’ll freak out it’s so good. I’m trying the jambalaya pasta next time! ”

“ Oh my gosh, this place is wonderful!! this was a blackened chicken pasta with just the right amount of zing. I had the taste of New Orleans, which had jambalaya, crawfish etoufee, rice and beans and collard greens. A little bit of everything. Everything was beautifully prepared, the flavors were complex and deep. The etoufee was my favorite. We also got to try the hush puppies, buttermilk pie , and beignets. So good! The cucumber lemonade was heaven. There's some banana pudding in my fridge for later portions were huge. Everyone was so warm and lovely here. I can't really explain how wonderful this place is. We spent the afternoon enjoying incredible food and meeting great people. It was an afternoon to remember. We will be back! ”

“ The moment you step into this restaurant you can tell the vibes are absolutely amazing. The staff are so sweet and so humble. The food is has such a unique taste it’s phenomenal. The taste of the food from the beginning to the end is amazing. There is something magical about this place and I feel this is only the start of their successful embarkment. They will be well known all over Portland. PS. I tried my left overs the next day and the flavors just absolutely made me miss the restaurant. I very well will be back here again. 5 star review. ”

“ Forgot to take a picture of the food before we ate it all. It was delicious! We had the shrimp platter, collard greens, Mac and cheese, hush puppies, and gumbo. It was all amazing! Definitely coming back ”

“ The vibe here starts with southern hospitality out the gate and having a family from down south that vibe was very homecoming. I had the fried shrimp, dirty rice, and Mac and cheese. OMG!!! That shrimp was so good!!! The flavor was on point and definitely had that down south spices that will have you thinking you down south. The dirty rice was nice and fluffy with just the right amount of spices and flavor. The Mac and cheese was aight. Something was missing from that. The endless mimosas was great. Will definitely be checking out their Sunday brunch. I was definitely impressed by this place and would definitely go back for the great quality taste and customer service with a southern hospitality. ”

“ Staff had amazing hospitality! The food was rich and incredibly delicious! Every plate is made I from scratch and gives you that home-y feeling once you take the first bite. I cannot recommend this place enough, I had the jambalaya and it was the BEST I have ever had. 10/10 spot that is conveniently on the corner of MLK and Knott. Will come back when I visit Portland :) ”

“ Lol, these ladies are fun. They were pulling my leg from the moment I came to the counter I'm from the deep South so grew up with this food. Let me tell ya, it's legit. EVERYTHING we had was killer. The Taste of New Orleans was a sampler and we loved it all. The corn pudding is a must-try. The homemade fresh-fruit daiquiris were very tasty and strong. We can't wait to get back here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”
