This southern-style restaurant was the brainchild of two brothers, Jason and Brian Lees, who decided to open their own restaurant in 2013. Their original location in Natchez was such a success that they decided to open a second location in Baton Rouge in 2015, and it quickly won over the hearts and stomachs of locals.
The neighborhood eatery is the perfect blend of comfortable and casual.
