Great food & Service the shrimp po boy and gumbo are my favorite there outdoor seating is nice as well

Heard good things about this place. A friend decided we should try it. She ordered the brisket po' boy. I got the shrimp one. They were huge. They were delicious. Tables are clean and nice service. Will definitely be back.

Love this place!!! I don't always give out 5 stars but this place deserves it. The food is so good and the staff is always so friendly. The only downside is the operating hours (most likely due to the fact that they sell out quickly, that's how bomb the food is) and then the line is typically long if you go during lunch time. Other than that, I highly recommend supporting this local business! You won't be disappointed.

Welcome to Benicia, home of some of the best Southern food outside my own mama's cookin'! It's March 2024, $35 won't get you far nowadays, even at Burger King! But $35 fed 3 adults dinner and had leftovers! I did not expect to love this place as much as I did. Seriously some of the best fried shrimp and catfish I've ever had at any restaurant. I don't know if the tartar sauce was better or equally as amazing as their cocktail sauce, but don't you dare leave without the sauces! Ooooh Weee that's good food! I'm worried that the commercial building they're located in is for sale and we're going to need an investor in town to invest just to keep the Workshop safe and located smack dab in the middle of town on that trippy lil triangle corner! Hours are limited to check Google or Yelp before heading out!

5 stars for THE WORKSHOP!! with a side of sweet hushpuppies! It has been a while since we stopped here and the owner even said so haha. Chikas and Homies if you haven't stopped by here you are truly missing out on a very very delicious plate. TRUST THE HOMIEWITAPLATE, the workshop will not disappoint. Again the vibe to the spot is familia(family), with a couple of tables some chairs, and music in the background paired with the Benicia vibe. This will have you feeling like you are in New Orleans enjoying a fresh shrimp po'boy!! all you need is a glass of some good ol' bourbon to wash everything down The Owners are fantastic people very humble and friendly. I had to let them know that they must be doing something good. When your customers are smiling as they open up those containers or as they unravel their fried shrimp po'boy! Its like a Fiesta. Yesterday had the Jambalaya on top of cornbread, AYYAYAYIII great portion, flavorful, Camarones (shrimp) perfection, the garnish beautiful, and the cornbread on point. the savory and the hint of sweetcorn sweetness was crazy. Of course, we had to have a Fried Shrimp PO'Boy. Again just unveiling that sandwich has you feeling like a kid ready to tear up that Pinata. Just can't stop biting into it. Plenty of shrimp in the po'boy so your stomach won't feel left out. the veggies in there help give it a beautiful crunch. they give you sauces on the side, but by the time you realize it. ITS TOO LATE. Plenty of parking but there is limited seating so as much as you would like to enjoy sum hushpuppies for hours. Got to think about the next familia waiting to enjoy sum po'boys aswell. PS... don't forget the hushpuppies. always could use a snack on the way back home.

I finally brought a meal for myself from here. I have purchased gumbo once and red beans and rice another time , both for my husband's lunch. He's not good on feedback just feeding, lol, so I tried for myself today. It's hard to get something that I wouldn't mind eating as welll as something more like I would cook. Most menus have so much bread, breading, or super sauced. The Workshop simply did straight up fried fish, hush puppies, and I got an order of roasted brussel sprouts- my type of meal. The fish is divinely fried however not seasoned enough. The brussels are a little charred with is it little difficult finding those tender pieces under to really crisp bitter leaves. The remoulade sauce is delicious with the brussels was BOMB! I need that in my life! I think the hush puppy recipe is perfect however I also it was time to change the grease or tirn down the heat becase they had a few burnt ends around and dark in color. It was late in their day and I know some of the unpredictability of home cooked foods so its forgivable. I love easygoing atmosphere around this little pick up spot. A few tables around for eating and I always see locals that seem to know the owners by name. I love that!!!! This is definitely a community staple and I am a fan. 2 stars for being who they authenticly are 2 stars for homey deliciousness

First time here but certainly won't be the last. This small Workshop brings a lot of comfort. Well worth the drive for us. Our previous Cajun spot in Concord shuttered from Covid. So happy to find another mom and pop Cajun spot to tout and support. THE FOOD We tried the gumbo, seafood platter, and shrimp po boy. Everything was good. Gumbo- smokey delicious full of chicken and sausage, my eight year old also loved it even though he was panting from the pepper spiciness. Seafood platter was fried to perfection, lots of shrimp, catfish, oysters and hush puppies. What you don't see is yummy skinny onion rings at the bottom. Everything is elevated by the super savory kicked up cocktail sauce. High level of horseradish which makes it super yummy. Tartar sauce was creamy and mild (good for the non spicy lovers or kids). Shrimp po boy was huge and was kicked up with the cocktail and tartar sauce smothered into it. My husband approves. There it was a very delicious first meal here. Already planning when we get to come back! THE VIBE Sweetest couple that runs the place. I wish them continued success. I love their outside patio seating. It was a nice warm sunny January afternoon. If you don't care to sit outside plenty of ppl order to go.

This spot is probably the best cajun food in the Bay. It's a window with some outdoor seating, a real mom-pop shop which is a bonus. We love supporting small businesses! Danny, the owner and cook, is hella friendly. He came out and talked to us and since my bf is from NOLA, Danny shared his excitement for NOLA and the memories he made living there. The bf gave his stamp of approval and said it's the closest thing to home! They have daily specials. We came on a Tuesday, and the daily special was pork chops with mac n cheese and it was amazing! I got the shrimp po' boy and it tasted like we were in NOLA! I can't wait to go back on Thursday for the cajun chicken pot pie everyone is raving about. The little decor they have and the background jazz music make you think you're somewhere else than Benicia. I think we found our new favorite cajun spot! Thanks, Danny!
