What people say, in short
Cochon draws steady praise, with one commenter describing it as a little upscale and another calling it really great and casual. Diners single out the meats, the wood fired oysters, the fried gator, the mac and cheese and the dinner rolls. One commenter feels it went artsy and high end and no longer resembles home cooking, though they still call it good.
