I’ve eaten at Porter & Luke’s several times for brunch and it has not disappointed! This time I had the onion rings which were probably the best onion rings I’ve ever had. I also had the special of the day- Catfish Sophie which was fried catfish with angel hair pasta with crawfish cream sauce. It was so amazing! Of course I always love to try specialty drinks and had the Carnival Martini which was yummy. And I tried the Mardi Gras doberge cake that was moist and delicious!
