Fantastic food, friendly staff, great genuine Cajun place. Best crawfish etouffee I’ve ever had. Crawfish pie fantastic as was the crawfish dip. Crabcake also great. Seafood gumbo also amazing.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated with our drinks within five minutes. Both my father and I ordered the 8 oz steak, which was generously portioned—closer to 12 oz—and among the most flavorful and perfectly cooked steaks I have ever had. Our server, Meredith, provided exceptional service, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant—10/10.

The abundance of food was outstanding. The bang bang shrimp poboy was so full you could not close the bun. Their onion rings was cooked to perfection and ended bringing some home because it was so much. I received 6 oysters and 6 shrimp on the platter plus a large side salad.

This place has excellent food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. In fact, the quality is already so well-renowned that you're likely to wait a minimum of 30-45 mins during busier times, but it is SO worth the wait. It's a must-go, and you HAVE to order the fried pickles.

Our favorite restaurant! We have never had a bad meal or bad service. My husband loves steak night and the seafood sauce. The shrimp poboy is overloaded with delicious shrimp. The spinach dip is delicious, and so are the bang bang shrimp. You seriously can’t go wrong. 🩷
