If you think gas station food is basic, David’s Tiger Express will change your mind fast.
This third-generation, family-run spot in Central is known for fresh, made-daily meals that feel more like home cooking than convenience food. The kitchen runs on consistency, speed, and a team that cares about what goes out the door.
Right now, Lent is driving the menu. You’ll find fried cod, fried shrimp, seafood-stuffed bell peppers, and loaded baked potatoes packed with seafood and topped with alfredo sauce. There’s also a crawfish casserole and a seafood cornbread dressing that regulars swear by.
Outside of Lent, the menu stays strong. Crowd favorites include chicken pasta, lasagna, gumbo, and jambalaya. If you need to feed a group, they handle catering too, from small gatherings to large events.
It’s located at Hooper and Joor, one of the busiest intersections in Central. Easy to find. Hard to forget.
