Papa Mojo's Roadhouse
If you've ever had Mel Melton's cajun cookin' during one of his shows, this is the news you've been waiting for: he's opened his own place!! Now serving lunch (11am-3pm) and dinner (5pm-10pm) six days a week closed Sundays). Mel Melton don't let nobody go hungry, so there's also great bar food 'tween lunch and dinner, and a killer late night
menu. Having indulged in several PMR items, I can testify that it's among the tastiest and most pleasing cuisine you'll ever eat. And you always get to enjoy the food and music in a smoke-free environment!!
