    Green tea shots... They ran about $10 and were good and strong
    Tiffany M.

    I visited here because they were open late and I was looking for somewhere to pop in and have a quick drink. They have a small drink menu, but it was decent. The drinks were large and strong. The atmosphere was cool, I sat at the bar which was busier than the actual restaurant. Everyone was pretty attentive and we were offered help from multiple workers. I tried the shrimp brochette appetizer and my husband tried the boudin balls. The bacon on the shrimp was cooked so good. I enjoyed my dish. My husband said that his appetizer was pretty good but not as spicy as he'd thought it would be. I couldn't get good pics of my food because the lights are low with colored strobe lights in the background. They have a stage for live music. I personally wouldn't come for the live music, but it looks like it may be on weekends. The soundtrack was loud and they played Spanish music. I didn't really pay attention to it anymore after the drink kicked in lol! We tried a green tea shot followed by their house margarita. It comes in a huge glass. Pretty decent prices for the portions. I'd go back, but through the week. Multiple TVs everywhere. We were able to catch the Dallas cowboys game and even caught the end of it walking to the car while leaving. Large establishment with a lot of seating. They had a bar outside that would work during an overflow. They also have happy hour with $5 options. I'll have to check that out next time. I visited one time before after the pandemic, but didn't get a chance to go inside. I ordered crawfish from their outdoor food truck outside. It was good, no complaints. This trip was pretty straight to the point and is what I was looking for on this night. I'd go back... Just not on nights with live music because that's not my preference.

    1. Crawfish Platter

    I highly recommend this place i like the food crawfish was soooo good , the place was very clean staff were very nice and fast thank you !

    So good!!! We typically get the boiled seafood feast which is around $100 but we'll worth it for 2-3 people. This time around our lobster was half undercooked but everything else was good. The stuffed pork chop was enjoyed by numerous family members and the premium sampler appetizer is hands down a must order because is has a little bit of everything. We had a very large party for a graduation and there was only one waitress tending to half of the restaurant so wait time was a bit slow but overall not too bad.

    Food was great and drinks were super strong on point. Been here before a few times and got the boiled platters. Get the G sauce

    3lb combo
    Ignacio D.

    Came in here craving crawfish. The 3lb combo (crawfish, sausage, corn, potato, covered in G-sauce) was about $40+tax. It was disappointing bc it was bland as heck. It was proportionate to everything offered, but the G-sauce was this awful corn starch thickened mess that was just straight bland. Some of the crawfish were bad, but it happens so I didn't account for it. The bartender didn't know what a cider, Paloma, or Ranch water was, so she winged it and also didn't do a great job at the drink I got (Paloma). Turned out to be about $100 after tip, which was disappointing bc I left hungry and not satisfied in the slightest. Go elsewhere tbh

    Crawfish and shrimp special
    Mick B.

    I absolutely love this place! I have been here like atleast 10 times in the past 5 years and have never had a bad experience. The wait staff have always been friendly and helpful and knowledgeable on what specials are happening!! The G sauce is our family's favorite. We usually come here for the crawfish and shrimp pots! If you leave here hungry it's your fault!

    Cajun USDA Choice Steak
    Andrea A.

    Let's start off with the good. The sweet tea was banging! My brothers fried shrimp were very tasty! My sister and I ordered the 8oz usda choice steak and it comes with a baked potato, veggies and a side salad. My son had the cheeseburger and fries. The baked potato was sooooo good! Light fluffy just enough butter, sour cream and toppings. The steak . I asked for mine medium with was well done and dry. Even with the sauce they had on top of it. We asked for A1 but they were out of it. This restaurant was a mixture of things... they had a Hispanic band playing, they had a trailer in the parking lot selling crawfish and they also sold seafood boils. Maybe we just picked the wrong thing.

    Small crawfish
    Phylicia F.

    Can I rate this place 0 stars? I came in today with my family and were told we would have to pay for water!!! A water! Also wanted to get the Bayou Pot#2 (which is 6lbs of crawfish and other stuff) - So we requested the 6lbs be brought up 3 at a time so the bottom ones would t be cold when we got to them and they said no. I would have been fine with the no but my server Mayquel said he would ask the manager and the manager said no. When the manager came by he was rude- cut me off and said the general manger "Won't come by and was here". I will NEVER come to this restaurant again. This has been PISS POOR Customer Service and I would NEVER Recommend this place to ANYONE! For a first time visit- I would say I wasted a trip! P.S. the small crawfish were not worth it

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

The Chargrilled Rockefeller? That's the one you call your mama about. Big, flavorful, perfect. And the deviled eggs... listen. I don't even like deviled eggs, but these?
