Shrimp Pontchartrain with Rice$28.00Cajun shrimp in crawfish cream sauce served over rice as the classic preparation.

“It was nice to get seated when the main dining room was so busy. Had the shrimp pontchatrain, which was like comfort if you miss seafood. Also had the ginger mango non-alcoholic drink (driving through town), which was like a ginger bread cookie in a soda, warm and cold at the same time. Staff were excellent, attentive, and welcoming. Flying Mango is a must try.”
