Went to Picadilly with my grandparents. It was good back then. So was Ralph & Kacoos. Mr Gattis was good when it was a sit down restaurant.

Coyote Blue in what is now the Saltgrass. The seafood enchilada and the bloody Maria and the corn grits specifically are missed by me

I’m not sure why it closed down. They were not too far from Mestizo which I love, but it was good to have them as another option in that area. Maybe that had something to do with their closing.

Maybe so. You are probably right as they both are Louisiana and Mexican combined.

Phil’s opened in the shopping center where Southdowns Bar was and where the Bulldog and Mary Lee’s Donuts are. By the way the Bulldogs is in the building that Dreamland was located. The Caterie was in the shopping center where Juban’s is .

It was the Pork Chop sandwich at Joe D's for me. 2 for $. Fried Chicken PoBoy was the Chicken Loaf. Romano's had them also.

Chris' Bar had great sandwiches and ice cold fish bowl beer.


Don't remember the sandwiches but had more then a couple of the Fish Bowls. They kept them in that upright freezer. Pulled them out and filled them to the brim. .25 cents each.

I never understood the love for that place. There was a reason it was so dark in there.

Food sucked and you have Dijulio's right down the street which it blew it away when it came to food quality, atmosphere and service.

Pinetta's

Mr. and Mrs. Pinetta ran the place for college students to bring a date for fine dining on a budget. Mrs. Penetta ran the fron and Mr. Pinetta ran the kitchen. It was a mom and pop place.

They were the Bubolas. I'm not sure where the Pinetta's name came from. They passed and their son, who was running it for a while after, moved back to Italy. Sold it to a guy who sort of cleaned it up a bit, but obviously couldn't sustain it.

I liked the hot sausage po-boys from Romano’s Grocery on North Boulevard.
Pinetta’s is also a sorely missed, classic hidden gym.
And Semolina’s.. they had the best Pad Thai.
Roma Cafe.. their Roma Special was the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Loved that place.
Ninfa’s.. Nothing compares. Those Ninfatini’s on a hot summer Saturday afternoon were lit.
Most recently, Veganish Vibes. Their fried mushrooms and dipping sauces were killer.
