“ This is a tiny place with very good food. I had a combination platter with gumbo, red beans and rice, boudin and swamp soup. It was hearty and great for a cool day. I couldn't finish it all. Try to save room for the excellent desserts. The servers are so sweet. Saludos para mi amiga en la cocina! ”
“ Absolutely delicious breakfast! We shared a side of boudin. I had a single biscuit, side of sausage gravy and egg. My husband had the streak breakfast. Country vibes, obviously! Great, happy service. We recommend ”
“ By far my favorite hometown family run cafe. The Florida Cracker meets with the Louisiana Gumbo, Boudin, Jambalaya, Andouille, Po' boy, Beignets and so much more. Freshly cooked daily by the Rogers family. Breakfast & Lunches that are plentiful, fresh, hot and always consistent. Don't be in a rush, there are times you have to wait for a table either inside or out on the covered patio with fans. ”
“ Saw this place on the map while looking for brunch on the way out of Tampa and so glad we stopped here! We were seated outside which was slightly enclosed with heaters to keep it warm but the wind still made it a bit chilly so bring layers. The menu was almost overwhelming with the number of options, all of which looked delicious. We ended up with a burger and the dirty bird with rice and gravy. We were both very happy with our orders and the prices were very reasonable. For dessert, we split a slice of the wrec pie which might have been the best part of the meal (other than the dirty bird fried chicken). Service was a bit slow and there is only one bathroom for everyone so there was a lot of waiting around but other than that, we left very happy. ”
“ What an amazing surprise tucked away, honestly with not much else around. We were out in Brooksville and the family got hungry and I found this place on Yelp. We rolled up and didn't know what to expect but soooooo glad we came here. Our kids, who are booghie as hell all said this was the best food we had in a long time and we eat out often. The owner was our server and he was the nicest guy. Told us how it's a small family owned spot which makes it that much more special. We got a lot of food and I can honestly say everything was fantastic. Blackened gator tail was cooked to perfection. Swap soup is outstanding and so is the jambalaya. We each had a different burger and they were all fantastic. I got the one with the shrimp on it and that creole sauce kicked butt. That debris gravy tho . We also had the beignets and kings cake for dessert. Soooooooo much flavor and cooked perfectly. We will be back with the rest of the family to enjoy the cuisine again. This place is a hidden gem. ”
“ My coworker met one of the owners at a wedding and invite to try the place out since she is originally from New Orleans herself. First i must say the employees here are awesome and so darn friendly! We went for brunch on Sunday there was a wait of about 15 minutes but that's expected during this day and time. Now the food. We could not choose so we did breakfast and dinner and it was so good. True homemade tasty food. The Cajun chicken was so good. The pancakes taste like grandma's homemade recipe. Sausage was awesome and flavorful. Finally the beignets, we're just amazing!!! Please make sure to stop by for some great service and amazing food! Until next review Kisses ”
“ You have got to eat here!!! If you don't, you will be missing out! This wonderful restaurant is worth the detour from ... wherever you are, really. We were traveling on I-75, and we are so glad we took the 5 minute detour. We arrived around 1100 on a Sunday, and waited about 15 minutes. Walking to our table, we passed patrons who were devouring biscuits and gravy, eggs, and chicken. It all looked so good!! We received both breakfast and lunch menus. Both menus were a mix of traditional American food and Louisiana Cajun food. (Keep in mind Cajun is very flavorful, and not necessarily spicy). It was so difficult to decide what to eat, because everything sounded so good!! I will be back to try something else. :) I was interested in the Nachos. And they were delicious!!! The base of these nachos were an extremely flavorful Cajun type potato chip. They were loaded with cheese, shredded roast beef, mushrooms, onion, green peppers, banana peppers, and covered in their beautiful Debris Gravy. I was surprised at how much meat there was! It had to be close to a pound. The gravy is the most flavorful thing I've ever tasted. My Dining Partner got a HUGE salad with a fried chicken breast. Their homemade Ranch dressing was incredible. The chicken was extremely moist and the breading was crunchy. She loved the freshness of the salad, and all of the vegetables that came as part of it. We also got a side of Fries with Debris Gravy, and she, too, was overwhelmed with how good the gravy was. If you are in the area, meaning within 60 miles, you should not miss out!! I wish everyone would be able to taste this menu!! It is sooooo good!!! Please, do yourself a favor, and eat here. IT IS WORTH IT!!! You can thank me later!!! :) ”
“ I garonteeeeee!!! Ain't nothin changed but for the 'even' better, since I first reviewed this restaurant a couple years ago when they were new. Family run, lots of love and kickin' great food! Just had lunch today with my Fab One. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather I ordered for the holidays. LOL I got the Dixie Burger. Start with a great Angus patty. THEN add bacon. THEN add BRISKET! Throw in some cheddar cheese and some slaw and Ayeeeee! Crazy good, don't talk, just eat, while gnawing on some delectable onyun rings! SHE got the Roast Beef Debris Po Boy....sop up that meat with savory gravy all wrapped in a Po Boy! Ain't a thing PO about that boy! As usual, the divine Miss Haley took supreme delight in caring for us like we were those relatives that don't visit often enough! I offered to help out, but they got the SH Super Krewe! Didn't need me in the back of the house.... Go where the food is awesome, and the folks are awesome-r! ”
