A funny looking diner car in the middle of the industrial area of Mineola. Coming down Roslyn road and turning onto 2nd street you would not think a delicious Cajun/Creole/BBQ joint would be on this block, but it is. The food is awesome - plain and simple. The problem is its real small, super expensive and cash only. If you read our other takes, you would know by now we hate cash only joints. My favorite is when they write out the tax on the check - knowing I just got taken to the wood shed for some Shrimp & Gritz they bend you over for the tax. I call this Idiot tax cause you know for a fact they are not reporting any of it or at least the majority of it. The food is still awesome especially if you have the urge for some Ribs, Cheese Gritz, Brisket and Pecan Pie. In all seriousness the cash part only bothers me when I have to run out to the ATM. I would recommend bringing a nice bottle of something (BYOB) and hand them your wallet as soon as you sit down and pick it up on your way out.
