Some friends and I were crossing paths and stopped for lunch. Everywhere else was closed. My Happy Place opened and took care of us. Staff was amazing. Food was amazing. Pretty awesome shop as well. Thank you!

Just started working at a local clinic and asked for the best spot in town. My Happy Place was the first thing out of everyone's mouth. Swooped in on my lunch break today, and I will most definitely be back. Those little biscuits are complimentary and packed full of flavor! Chicken salad had the perfect texture. Got the trio for $11 and someone should've rolled me out of there because I was STUFFED. Other half of store is a little boutique/store full of nice goodies. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

They had great food, but even better people! We were passing through on our way back from the beach, and were overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone there, as well as by the tastiness of fun menu items like their crawfish queso
