Look who's back after her winter hibernation!
Gravy, Dickie Baxter's self-appointed Director of Guest Relations, has officially returned for the season.

While she generally refuses photo requests, she is available for casual greetings, parking lot inspections, and shrimp-related opportunities.

You'll usually find her near the front door keeping a close eye on arrivals and departures.
Stop by and say hello. She may acknowledge you. If you're holding shrimp, your chances improve considerably

Lobster season is short. Regret is long.

Our Lobster Po' Boy has finally returned.

If you're on a mission to eat your way through lobster season, make sure this one is on your list. Packed into a toasted Boulangerie le Vendéenne bun and loaded with a generous 5oz of lobster and shrimp, house-made dill remoulade, fresh greens, cherry tomatoes and a shower of crispy fried leeks, it's the kind of sandwich that has people thinking about their next bite before they've finished the first.

Available now, but not forever.
