In past visits theres been one older woman that works in the Mornings. Shes so rude every time id rather just go else where boudin is top notch though. Only reason why it's not 1 star review

Stopped by to try their beef pie and shrimp ball. Both were good but the pie was definitely better. I found the shrimp ball a bit too oily.
