Elders Family - Table reservation

I was born and raised in New Orleans but I've lived in/near San Antonio for a few years now. I am always looking for a taste of home. With it being the Mardi Gras season, I was feeling especially home sick. My husband found this place and surprised me for dinner.First, the people here are wonderful. Everyone was so kind, pleasant and warm. It was great to chat with them and learn about the restaurant. They made us feel welcome and at home. They made great plate recommendations. The Mrs even came out several times to see how I liked her food. The young gentleman, Sam, was so polite and friendly. The drink named after him is sweet, refreshing and enjoyable. Be sure to ask him how he came up with it.After looking at the menu, I wanted to try everything! We ordered three plates to share. The fried catfish was my favorite. It was lightly breaded and cooked well. I don't like slimy fish and this was done perfectly. The fried shrimp was also very tasteful. They were perfect for dipping in the homemade sauce. It had a very good seasoning on it. The grilled shrimp was delicious. It was not overcooked or rubbery. It was grilled just right. The stuffed shrimp is generously sized and tasted just like home. I could have eaten those all day. I believe these are the house speciality.But ya'll, the potato salad here is AMAZING. It is easily the best I have ever had (Sorry Mom)! I haven't eaten that much food in a long time and I will be back to do it again and again.If you're looking for some authentic NOLA eats, this place is worth trying. The food, people and hospitality here is the closest I've had to home in a long, long time.Note- They also do brunch and we hope to try that soon too.

The older man that waited on us was so very nice and attentive. The food was extremely delicious. The shrimp was some of the best tasting shrimp that I’ve had in a longtime. I also Had a piece of catfish. It was cooked perfectly. The only thing that I would have like more is if the black film was removed from the fish prior to being cooked. Leaving that on the fish makes it taste a little muddy. Because I know this, I sc It off before eating it. Otherwise, it all was cooked to perfection.
