The worse experience I have ever had at a bay area restaurant. It looks dirty and odd inside. I don't mind dirty in a really good soul food or rib joint in the hood, but not at a place that you'll end up spending 70 bucks easy for two people. The people on here who said this food is ""great"" or even ""good"" , I'll go a step further. Even if you thought it was ""OK or Average"" you were born with no taste buds or work there. The lemonade was that minute maid type stuff from a can, that tastes how you would imagine Lemon scented toilet cleaner to taste. The corn bread had some weird tasting herbs in them and were soaked in margarine or butter or something old and oily tasting. I get light headed and nauseous thinking about it . \r

The main course I had the gumbo. Ok my grandmother was born and raised in New Orleans and knows how to make some gumbo. This ""stuff"" I ate was not gumbo. It tasted like dish water with hot dogs and a crab leg in it. Seriously. I took one taste of that 20 dollar bowl of gumbo and sat there angry. Then my wife gets the red snapper or some sort of fish in a cream sauce with those cheap fake baby shrimp on top that you get on a Denny's salad. WTF. That cream sauce was the worse. It was basically milk mixed with flour and salt. My wife did not eat it. The weird waitress came over and asked what was wrong we said the food was bad and she looked high on coke not even caring. Then said sorry do you want a bag. ? She's crazy foreal. She then handed me the bill I was shocked at how much we spent. $70 bucks with tax and tip. At that point I just wanted to hurry and get the hell up out of there twilight zone environment. I paid and me and my wife didn't even speak on the drive back. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! FOOD IS TERRIBEL, OVER PRICED, AND IT'S NASTY INSIDE.
Pros: The Icecream was tolerable
Cons: Food is horrible, service is very slow, price is ridiculous, location is awful next to a freeway!?!?
