Great place. Great food!

by hawnk

I eat lunch here about once a week. I have yet to have a bad experience in any way. Really great people with great attitude. I love Cajun food and it is done correctly here. There are a lot of places that try, but this is the real thing. The vibe is right on track as well. For a Bar and Grill, not divey, not pretentious

• Pros: Great Cajun food. Service
• Cons: Lunch prices could be a little cheaper

Best food and drinks in Burbank!!

by wickedbad

You heard me. THE BEST! The Cajun food is the best I've had outside of New Orleans and plenty better than ones I've had there. We originally went after seeing a cheesy (sorry!) commercial on cable that said they were open late. What a surprise we got! Comfortable, inviting and wonderful service. Not only was the cajun selections superb, everything was great, in fact the best pork tenderloin I've ever had. I haven't found anything that wasn't terrific. Easily my favorite restaurant in Burbank and I've dragged lots of my friends "over the hill" to enjoy this find.

• Pros: The food, the drinks, the service, the comfortable surroundings.
• Cons: None

great taste of the bayou in burbank!

What a great find! Casual, Cajun food done right. Huge menu, authentic selections, ingredients and flavors. Great service. The outside made me think stuffy "bar & grill" but once inside I felt transported to New Orleans.

• Pros: great food and service
• Cons: dining room is a little dark

Best Cajun Food!

by lajulie

For those of you that liked Mardi Gras in Toluca Lake, this restaurant is owned by the same people and has the same chef and all the menu items from MG. They have better parking at this location, and the restaurant is much bigger.

The food is still wonderful, the blackened catfish is wonderful. I would recommend skipping the toppings, since the blackened seasoning needs to be savored 'pure'. Pair this with a bottle of Abita Purple Haze and Gumbo side. The fried crawfish and gator appetizers are tasty. Finish your meal with a cup of chickory coffee and a plate of plain beignets.

You'll love this place so much you won't be able to stay away.

Caveat: It can get rather hot so get a seat away from the kitchen.

• Pros: Good food, decent prices, good service.
• Cons: Can get crowded and warm on the weekends.
