rachael's café

we went for a great lunch. rachael's recently expanded to more double in size . the rachael gumbo was very good - but could have been served hotter.
i had the fried catfish poboy and it was very good. the fish tastedfreshand was nice and crisp.

what a find :). what a gem. i stopped in for lunch today and had the chikcen friend steak lunch special green beans were fresh, homade bread and potatoes/gravy. the chicken fried steak was perfection. all goodfreshhome cooking - seasoned just right - what a value for the price. i will be going back soon !

soop's ii the seafood gumbo.... soop's ii
the seafood gumbo had been frozen and then microwaved. i could tell because some of the shrimp were dark from soaking in the roux and one shrimp was pink, which means they used old frozen stock and added a littlefreshingredients. the fried fish was greasy and tasteless, everything lacked seasoning. the stuffed crab had a strange vanilla taste, i wonder if they mixed up the breads from the bread pudding? i was hoping the service would have been better than soop's, which is famous for horrible service, i'm disappointed to say it was only slightly better. this place can't survive long on only friends as customers. maybe their other specials are good, i only tried the seafood platter, but i'll never know, because i'm not going back. is it too much to ask forfreshseafood gumbo?

will be regulars!. great little place! great food! started with a cup of seafood gumbo, loaded withfreshshrimp and crabmeat, seasoned just right, it was such a large cup that i shared it with my husband!. we decided on the special which was shrimp poboys. for $5 we weren't expecting much, well were we surprised, we got large poboys overloaded withfreshshrimp, fried perfectly. the bread had a soft middle with a light crispy outside that made it so easy to eat, which we did devour all of our poboys. we shared an order of fries which were the best fries i have eaten at a restaurant. then the owner who was our waitress, gave us a complementary bread pudding to try. it was shaped like a mini bundt cake in a delicious sauce. i have eaten bread pudding at a lot of places and this is my favorite. it was not heavy or overly sweet and it didn't have raisins, which i don't like in bread pudding," a+".can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. this was an excellent meal at a great price.
