Welty's menu clearly was planned without reference to what every other downtown lunchroom had offered for the the previous hundred years. The freshness of the offerings is itself an attraction, even though it seems like a sandwich shop in another city.
Donald and Tina Welty are a young couple who worked in other local restaurants before opening this one shortly after the hurricane. When they opened their place, they clearly planned their menu without reference to what every other downtown lunchroom has offered for the last hundred years. The freshness of the offerings is itself an attraction. It's so popular that one has to lunch there early or late to avoid a long wait in line.
A single long room, comfortable, clean, and bright, with the order counter and kitchen in the rear and a line (usually) running through the middle. A very helpful staff brings your food to the table.
Welty's is so popular that one has to lunch there early or late to avoid a long wait in line. Don't come here with a hankering for a New Orleans-style lunch (red beans, for example).
