Shrimp Po'Boy and Cajun Fries. You won't be disappointed! Fast enough service, it's cooked for order so don't expect fast food efficiency for home cooked food people!!! In and out in 45 minutes.

If you're a fan of brown, mediocre food, then this is your spot. Granted, it is what it is. I wasn't expecting much--and the service was friendly, if not great. But if you want anything that's not deep fried or brown, don't look for it here. I ordered a salad. What I got was a small bowl full of iceberg lettuce with two hamburger pickle slices and a half ripe wedge of hot-house tomato. My main course was the fried catfish--a double serving as is the custom in much of this region. Generous, but unnecessary. It was accompanied by a double helping of french fries and some grilled, buttered white bread. Would have been nice to get some collards or other greens. One redeeming item on the menu is their gumbo. Quite good, but a little salty. It too is brown, of course. :-)

Jan's was recommended to us by a few locals as a place where the locals hang out, and we decided to give it a try. My shrimp po'boy was done correctly and delicious, and her gumbo was excellent. As others have mentioned, this is a no-frills restaurant that clearly caters to the working folk, but that's fine with me ... I appreciated the straightforward and prompt service.

We were starving after our Swamp Tour in Lafitte so decided to get a recommendation to eat lunch. There are not many places around, this is a small community. It is basically a big manufactured home turned into a kitchen and restaurant. They had a variety of Po'Boys here and they came out pretty tasty. The problem is the service, it was Painfully slow, and we were all starving so it made it worse. Definitely a local place as well. The fries with gravy on them were not good, so I would skip that appetizer, and just stick to the Po'Boys (Oyster).

It's not bad, but not amazing. The only reason we come all the way out here is because it's a nice ride - a group of riders from my dad's neighborhood get together once a week to go motorcycle riding and we pick restaurants that are about an hour ride away. This is one of them. The dishes feel like home-cooked meals. I think Jan, the owner is there all the time. She's sweet - that southern hospotality-type lady. I've been here twice. I can't remember what I had the first time, but the second time I had the grilled shrimp here with a baked potato. I know I've tried the french fries with gravy - that was yummy. When you go out to this area, you feel like you step back in time about 100 years or so. It's a cute and old little town. I'd hate to LIVE there, but it's a nice little visit.

I knew the redfish was going to be fresh because we caught it that afternoon. Jan's is a no frills restaurant that does a fine job. The breading on the fish, shrimp and oysters is light and crispy. The best however is the sauteed redfish. As one of my companions said "swimming in the bayou in the morning ,swimming in butter in the evening"! The bread pudding was also heavy and homey. One of our crowd was attempting to sneak a couple of extras. Not fancy... the beer list runs more to bud and miller lite but fine local dining.
