Papa Mojo's Roadhouse

Great whole in the wall!

One of my favorite places for lunch - I eat here at least once every couple of weeks.  Cajun/New Orleans style food is one of my favorite styles and having been to New Orleans several times, the food is authentic.  The gumbo, red beans and rice along with jambayla are always good and the Po Boys are also excellent.  Try the BBQ pork with slaw on top for a real treat.  They have live music a couple of nights a week and I understand that it's a lot of fun.  Will have the bring the wife for date night sometime.  Try Papa Mojo's - you won't be disappointed!

Ah, Papa Mojo's, I wish I would have found you 6 years ago. I stopped in for lunch for my first time today and ordered one of their lunch specials, the $9 Cochon de Lait. It was described on the menu as "BBQ Pork", so I was quite surprised when the plate arrived and it looked like two ham steaks. Despite the dark color, it did actually appear to be mostly white meat pork, and the BBQ sauce was served on the side.

The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, perfectly cooked. It tasted good both with and without the spicy BBQ sauce. I thought the coleslaw was a good match for it, and the pickles on the side were a tasty treat too. All that meat was a really filling lunch, but it was all delicious. They also brought out some tiny cornbread muffins drenched in honey. I was pleasantly surprised to find they were spicy too, with little bits of peppers. It was a new combination for me, but I thought it turned out really well.

The service was great too, I've got no complaints. It's in Greenwood Commons if you have trouble seeing it from Hwy. 55.
