Stopped in for a quick snack -- fresh seafood abound! One side is market, the other side is restaurant -- we bought some shrimp on the market side -- boiled in Zatarain's, yum!! And we got fried seafood platter on the restaurant side, to-go. The girl was super-nice and gave us three extra banana puddings for the kids. Everything was super-delicious! Prices were great -- especially for the fresh seafood. The guy who packed our shrimp was a bit rude. But the folks on the restaurant side made up for it.

This is a great local place -- absolutely no pretension at all and not that much seating. Very busy at lunch -- it's obviously a place a lot of locals eat at. Just the sort of place I like to stumble on. The food was good, solid, flavorful cooking. (Get the daily special!)

Bruno's is a lunch only, 11:00-2:00 Monday-Friday, cafe. The cafe is attached to a seafood market in the Quality Poultry and Seafood huge warehouse type building. Four of us tried oyster po'boy, smoked chicken, gumbo and some other stuff I can't remember. Sides of mac and cheese and beans.It's the type of place you might see on Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins. Place your order at the counter, find a table, and they call out your name when your order is ready. My order of chicken plate included 1/2 chicken, 2 sides and 2 corn fritters, for $8.00. The chicken was, hands down, the best chicken I've ever had in a restaurant. Very flavorful, moist and tender. Hubby ate the leg and the wing and agreed. Sis and I decided the corn fritters were the best ever. Po'boy was declared very good. Divided opinion on gumbo. Hubby liked it very much, bro-in-law doesn't like okra, and it has a lot of okra in it. Sides were not hot. They were both good, just the mac and cheese was in dire need of salt and pepper. It is a pretty limited menu, but my understanding is you can purchase seafood in the market next door and ask the cafe to cook it. Interesting option. The cafe has a nice outdoor seating area.

It's not terrible, but certainly not great. Tiny, crowded place in a very smelly fish market. I had the half shrimp poboy and gumbo. The poboy had about eight shrimp on it and the gumbo is definitely slimy. But, like I said, it was crowded. So maybe it's just me.
