And, the owner is super sweet and chatty today. It's this crazy weather, sunny now threatening snow. But, we came for this good food. For starters, we had the basket of hush puppies and fried mushrooms. We are unanimous! Hush puppies are great, mushrooms not fried long enough. They are not your best. Entrees are a couple of catfish plates, both fried hard with extra seasonings one with Greek potatoes and green beans. The other one with fried okra and Greek potatoes. One stuffed grilled snapper with cabbage and Greek potatoes. DELISH!!! One pick 2 shrimp dinner with Peel and eat and popcorn shrimp with baked potato, green beans and a side of gumbo to go. Whew we full. To Go, Pooh Bear got the whole grill snapper with asparagus and Alfredo pasta and a side of fried green tomatoes. Mommy got popcorn shrimp dinner with Greek potatoes and green beans.

Tried the dirty martini, but tasted more like an extra dirty... Not my fav but still good. Our group ordered several apps to go with the drinks. Everything was amazing.

Our server took our drink orders , while also giving us time to look over the menu. We ordered calamari as our app. My niece and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the calamari. It was prepared properly and served with some type of dipping sauce. For our main meal, my mom doesn't venture out much. She safely picked the fried chicken tenders / shrimp basket with fries. She mentioned the chicken and shrimp was lacking seasoning. I got a seafood boil. One pound of Dungeness crab claws, served mild with juicy special seasoning. I wish I had gotten a much hotter level of spice, but I was satisfied overall. My niece also got a seafood boil. She had 1/2 lb snow crab , 1/2 lb crawfish and1/2lb scallops. All the boils came with one ear of corn and two potatoes. She enjoyed her food and had leftovers for later. We received really timely and courteous service. The restaurant is really clean and bigger than it looks from the outside.

The crab claws were the star... flavorful, and seasoned just right with that classic Cajun kick. Paired it with a drink and it made for a super laid-back, satisfying brunch vibe. Ate on the patio bc if it's a pretty day, why not? Service was quick and friendly, which I appreciated since I was just popping in. Overall, a great go-to if you want something casual but still packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving seafood without the full sit-down commitment.

This gem of a restaurant is in the Patron Creek shopping center. The inside was very lively, and it seemed smaller than when we came last. We had a party of 6 people and were seated quickly. The server was super nice and shared his recommendations with us when we asked. My husband (the birthday boy) ordered the Voodoo Chicken, and I ordered the Redfish Rockefeller. Our friends ordered gumbo, shrimp and grits, pasta alfreadeaux, and I don't remember what the other person ordered. Everyone was very happy with their orders. My redfish was super flavorful and I cleaned my plate. You know when the conversation gets quiet, the food must be delicious! My husband wanted the Crème Brûlée cheesecake to go and he said it was tasty. The only issue we had was the length of time it took for our extra order to get processed. After a while, we learned the frying oil was being changed and it would take a while to heat back up. We thought that someone should have told us something earlier. But it all worked out. We definitely will be back!
