Do not try the gumbo. This was the worst gumbo I have ever tasted,I spent $12 on it and it had an overload of salt (like they emptied a whole canister in it. )Also they over change. They call it a service fee of some sort, but still over charge and does not add up. They do not have the so called service fee posted anywhere on their pricing. More...

Don't miss the gumbo it was some of the best I've ever had.  The two ladies running the place were very welcoming.  This will be a regular stopping place from now on.

For every 1 good experience…we have 2 that are bad. All service related issues, not food. Tonight was definitely the worst. Ordered food… waited 45 minutes for it to be done, watched countless customers walk up for their food. Finally went up and asked for our sandwiches… and got our cold meal while the staff were out smoking cigarettes. Come on… $25 for two sandwiches we waited 45 minutes for? And it was obviously a huge inconvenience for the staff. More...

Being from Louisiana this place is pretty good. The catfish with the crawfish etouffee on top is fantastic. The hush puppies are great. And the coleslaw is awesome!  This place is nice because it provides a little taste of home.  Come out and try it y'all! More...

Yea I didn't expect it to be all that good. Can't really find a good soul food truck in that area. But I ordered a catfish PO boy for $13 it takes a while to make (which is fine I understand) I get my food and when I get it it's the smallest piece of catfish on my jumbo hotdog bun wit lettuce and tomato. I was like ok maybe it'll taste really goo. I take my first bite and this shit fills my mouth with bread n veggies and a little bit of catfish every bite. I stopped eating a quarter way through the sandwich ad just threw it away. Not even seasoned or not enough just STRAIGHT BLAND!! Thank you maw maws kitchen I've never felt so disrespected by someone's food. I will never come back More...

SUCH A DISSAPPOINTMENT! BURNED TWICE! Was it on purpose? We certainly think so. This place lacks integrity and won't be getting our money ever again. Their true colors certainly were showing; not the way I'd do business, but you do you Michelle. It was late. We needed some comfort food. Chose this place randomly because my partner grew up on southern cooking and deserved a treat after dealing with life the last few months.  So! Maw Maw's looked good. We ordered alligator bites, hush puppies, greens, and beans. As soon as we opened the container of alligator, we saw that it was burnt. Dark brown dark. Disappointed, my partner called in to ask about it. Yes, Michelle (owner) offered to make it up to us somehow, either a refund or..? Giving them the benefit of the doubt, we chose to re-order it for mid-week, early evening, but it wasn't an easy conversation to come to this conclusion. First, Michelle denied our concern. She believed since the oil was changed that morning, then it was impossible to burn the alligator. She denied, denied, denied. I can say, I have never had alligator and didn't know what to expect, but my partner has and we both saw how dark those crispy inedible nuggets were. No Michelle, Cajun is not burned. That darkness was not the seasoning making it look darker. It tasted burnt. We took a photo and sent it in. She still continued to deny and refused any accountability. They tasted burned and we had to toss them. If she really wanted to keep her customers happy and continuing to eat there, she'd apologize and tell her chef to do better. Yesterday, we went to pick up our replacement order of the same thing. I told the guy at the at the counter we had called ahead and Michelle was replacing our order. He didn't ask what the order was. He didn't even ask our name; he KNEW we were the ones who complained about the food being burned last week. She had promised it would be ready when we got there, so we called 20 min ahead. The chef didn't say a word to us. Instead, he turned around and started making food. He didn't wash hands or put on gloves. We waited a good 15 minutes for the food to be ready at this point. Standing there ready to eat, I was getting concerned it was taking so long. I asked if it was almost ready and sure enough it was. Still not speaking, he handed me the bag. What? Catfish got your tongue Mr. Chef? Your character is certainly spiny like a croc, have any of that for sale? Is it burned too? This time, ALL of it was dark brown and inedible (minus the greens they didn't include). This time the oil wasn't burned which deduces us to realize that they burned it on purpose. The hush puppies were nearly black. The alligator just as dark.  Honestly, the original order was late. I'm sure they wanted to close the shop down and so they rushed, maybe even turned up the heat so it didn't take long? I don't know. I still trusted the product would be delicious for the replacement order. My mouth was watering for those nuggets, couldn't eat any of it. I wouldn't even give it to a homeless person on the side of the road, they would have been offended to get garbage. More...

Love this place absolute favorite food cart anywhere. The Cajun catfish is perfectly cooked every time and catfish is not easy to cook. Love the etouffee poured on top, the greens are good even the red beans and rice and potato salad are good. Place is solid do not hesitate.One thing I will say, while their gator is good, gator isn't for everyone so maybe don't get the gator the first time and review the place based on your first impression of eating alligator instead eat something familiar first then branch out or buy both and separate your feelings for alligator and the food cart itself.

It is full of flavor and fills the tummy.   The Jambalaya is awesome,  lots  of flavor  and the portions are perfect.  The Po Boys are really  good and super filling.   Gator bites are great.    Now the for the best,  the Mustard Greens  are freaking  fantastic,  they remind me of my Grandmother's.   Get them!!

Great food and good atmosphere! I got the fried catfish platter with hush puppies, coleslaw, and red beans and rice. The fish was crispy and well-seasoned, the beans and rice were tender and flavorful, and the coleslaw was sweet and crisp. It was a good amount of food, the price was fair, and service was friendly and fast. The seating area was clean and welcoming with plenty of tables, a large covered area in case of rain, and a big cozy fire pit. More...

I ordered shrimp plate. My friend got his 45 minutes ahead of me yet I still didn’t complain. I was right behind him. Then I saw three people walk in front of me and complain and got their food ahead of me. ...immediately. They ordered the same thing as me after me. An hour and a half after I ordered my food I got mine. I am not a complainer, in fact this is the first time I have in my life on line but the service was ridiculous. I hope they can turn things around because the food was pretty good. They’ve lost me as a customer though, I don’t need to put up with this. More...

Poo Boys sandwich was awful and I got 2 of them. 80% bread and so dry. Alligator and chicken had zero seasoning. Bits of lettuce. Literally biting into a loaf of bread. Fries were cold. Hush puppies were ok but again no sauce for dipping them. I got 2 sticks of butter with them that were frozen. If you're doing Cajun you need that seasoning. The 2 very young kids working have no clue how to cook Cajun. More...

Visited today, their first full day open at this new food pod.  This Food Cart Pod, (I think it's called 14th Street Pod?) is well designed and laid out with beefy wooden benches and tables . Large covered area and most of the uncovered tables had retractable umbrellas. Menu had a great selection of my favs; Po Boys, Catfish, etc. I had the Catfish platter with 2 sides; slaw and hush puppies. Food came out hot and super yummy. Perfect portion for me, not too big, not too small. For $11, a good value. Hush Puppies were some of the best I've had, the catfish was lightly breaded and perfectly cooked, very moist and not greasy at all. Slaw is homemade, very fresh and tasty with a lemon squeeze. They have hot sauce packets to heat things up, but I would recommend they offer a "shake" over your dish of some kind of Cajun spices for people who like a bit more zing.  I will be back to try the other options on their menu.  OH, and there is a full bar you can order from your phone for tasty beverages at your table. Congrats to Maw Maw's and the proprietors of this new Food Cart Pod, I think they do very nicely here. More...

I find it very important to have a conversation with the customer to find out what they envision and what types of foods they like. At that time I put together a specialized menu that fits their case and budget.
