Great flavor. Thai peanut ettoufe is the best thing on the menu if you can handle it. Was a regular all through undergrad.

I just moved to Bloomington from Louisiana, born and raised there for 22 years of my life! I was excited to visit here and maybe chat with the workers or owner about Louisiana. The worker wasn’t very welcoming but he did his job, and I knew there wasn’t going to be any chit chat. The food reminds me nothing of home. The bread didn’t seem toasted which I think would’ve helped with the Datwich. You’d need to eat quick or split with a friend the Datwich so the bread doesn’t get soggy. My boyfriend got the white chicken chili which he ate just fine but still reminded me nothing of LA. On its own without assuming its Creole/Cajun food, it is unique and a change of pace from regular fast food and the prices were good. I’m not picky about food at all. However I’m still inclined to try the gumbo and see how that goes.
I love dats! I hate that they had to move from their location on grant to the basement of a building on 4th, but times are tough and rent is high. The food is still amazing and as long as they are around I will continue to give them my business. Excellent food and you get a lot to eat for a low price!
I was surprised they moved buildings. Still some of the best food in Bloomington. Wish they had this back in San Diego, CA
I used to really like this restaurant. However, I ordered the jambalaya and carrot cake today, and the jambalaya was tasteless, and the rice was clearly old. The bread was completely stale and had obviously been reheated to disguise it, and the carrot cake was days, if not a week old. The restaurant is now refusing a refund, even though I've provided proof that I obviously didn't eat anything except the bread. I would recommend staying away. I pulled the container out of the garbage to take a picture to prove I hadn't eaten anything, and they still insist there was nothing wrong with it. **Update to respond to owner: I'm sorry, exactly how long does a piece of carrot cake or toasted bread need to remain in a driver's vehicle before it becomes stale? I'm deeply sorry for the other people you fed this mess to, if that is the case. However, I suspect what actually happened was that you saw that I ordered delivery, and figured you could get rid of some old food and I wouldn't have any way to complain to you. Your response just makes it that much worse. Since bars and restaurants are now closed in Bloomington to any but carry out or delivery service, I sincerely hope other people see this review. There are a LOT of local restaurants that need business, and a restaurant that deliberately tries to pass off bad food to delivery customers should not be considered by anyone at this time.
