crab legs and crab legs in a skillet
Madi M.

I can't give them 5. One star out for service. Service was poor. Waiter was not present and not attentive. I had to get up a few times to ask for stuff. One star out for food taste. OVERRATED. I was invited, I would not go again though. The only good thing was fried shrimp but still the batter contained too much spices. Kids meal was mediocre. Fish was over spiced with salty and peppery mix. Not good! Playground, which I can't call it a playground has broken bouncy house. Kids can injury themselves easily, it's called for troubles. Kids were running next to us, throwing ball next to my baby. Not safe. I was ready to leave and not come back. One star to support local business. Otherwise I only would give 2 stars.

My spouse saw this establishment on a Facebook ad and decided to have us all try it out. While on the way, I decided to call just to ensure this place was in fact open, yet no one answered the phone or Facebook messages. I tried calling a couple of their other locations, and received an error tone when calling. Nonetheless, while it was a drive, it was a rather scenic one which made it seem less than a bit over an hour. Upon arrival, we were only the second family there, so we were naturally a bit uneasy. No one greeted us or asked where we wanted to sit, so we figured it was "seat ourselves". Also upon entering, one of the waitresses was swatting flies against the wall - that was a tad concerning. A bit after sitting down, our waitress came to obtain our drink orders. Upon receipt of drinks, we then ordered our main course and two appetizers - Cajun fries and fried pickles. Both appetizers were extremely small, especially the fried pickles. The pickles were $6.99 and the fries were $3.99. The seafood platter was rather tasty, but before you knew it, the flies were all over our food and drinks. It was rather annoying (and gross) to keep swatting flies while trying to eat. Nonetheless, the platter was seasoned well and overall decent. I asked for the snow crab openers (or something to assist with opening up the tougher areas), but they said they didn't have any since they're always being stolen; they didn't even have a sturdy fork to provide me with (only plastic). The customer service wasn't all that great and the flies were quite annoying. The serving sizes for the price paid for the appetizers was a bit of a downfall as well. Other than these issues, it was a decent experience.

Fantastic crawfish, great flavor and perfect peel. Ambiance was great with live music! Would definitely recommend getting the spicy garlic flavor!

Not worth the money. Had the chicken and fries, all of which were greasy and relatively tasteless. Couldn't even eat it all because it just wasn't good. Paid 14.00 including tax and wished afterwards I wouldn't had. Lots of people eating crawfish, maybe it was better that my meal.

I really like this place! Their boudin balls and crawfish are so good! Darla, Leah & Cindi are all so sweet and attentive! Thank you ladies & all staff!

We love Busters, and have frequented here for years... love the crawfish. Today I was charged for cups of water. The same price as a soda. When I questioned the waitress she said it was not a mistake and that's what they charge for a cup of water. A small charge to cover the cost of the cup and straws is reasonable, this however is not.

Plenty of large crawfish, big roll of paper towels, and lined trash bucket!

We went for Thursdays lunch special. 3 lbs $14.99. They were large and just the right amount of spice! Extra was provided. To me the corn was too spicy so hubby got that and I had the potato. Both of those are extra $. Service was excellent and very attentive. She helped my hubby peel as he has dementia. Nice outside tables, perfect with the current weather!

Crawfish were good but some were a little small but that's normal I think. Also a little pricey. Overall was delicious!

Whew, what a wonderful lunch I had here. On my continues search of good eats near my home, I came…read moreacross this place on Yelp and was met with delight when we walked in. I had never been to the previous address, but the interior design was so lovely we chose to sit at the new bar. Kady, the bartender (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) was such a doll the whole time waiting us. She kept the chips (touch of louisiana we enjoyed) next to her for refills and made the most twisted hurricane I've had. Definitely walked out clinging to my man lol. We tried the crawfish dip which came with two types of bread, though both went amazing with it. I ordered the lobster ravioli with a side of hush puppies and my old guy ordered the lamb chops, well done, with gumbo (we don't eat pork) and stuffed shrimp. Everything was so damn great tasting. I mean, damned good tasting. My only flaw was the roux could've been a little thinner, but that is absolutely it. Fabulous timeeee and I'm so recommending.

So they've moved. From Market Street to the space Next to one of my favorite cafes (PB)…read more Parking lot not full on an Easter Weekend. Despite a pretty empty restaurant we were told that only the bar and outside were available. And unlike many other places, they said this bar only allows 21 and older to dine in the bar area, which means only the outside for us. This being a cold (because of the wind) and cloudy morning. Sigh. Asked for a kids menu and was told it's only for 12 and under. Got the evil eye from the hostess when I said my kid qualifies. Then I offered to show them her ID and they backed off with smiles even. The complementary potato chips kind of tasted like Chips Oman. At least they weren't stale and it's a nice addition while you wait. The kiddo got the kids catfish which was just a pretty small piece of fish. Fries were good. Side fruit consisted of strawberries pineapple and red grapes. No drink included. Had to chase down the staff to get some tartar sauce. I wanted a Po Boy but was told they don't offer it on the weekends. Asked about beignets and was told it's only for dessert. Sigh. Decided to get the pork ribeye fricassee. The flavor was good but boy was it salty. Almost like they dropped a whole shaker of salt on it. Good thing there was some rice to counter the effect. Otherwise it would be inedible. So after our meal we had access to the desert menu and got a half order of beignets (4 pieces). They were ok. The dough on these is pretty thick though. Not sure if that's standard but I'd prefer light and fluffy. Soft opening was just the day before. So I think they're trying to find their stride. Water girl was on it though so kudos to her. Waiter was meh. Had to go in and fetch him a few times as they don't come outside much, especially when you're the only one out there. The bar area is small but the bartenders are nice. They have a sectioned off room in the back which might be good for a larger group. Place is kinda small overall though.

My BF and I stumbled upon this spot. I didn't know what to expect since I didn't read any of the…read morereviews. To be honest, I throughly enjoyed my food. This restaurant is located by the lake so we decided to sit outside to enjoy the views. Our server Collin was pretty nice and was on top of everything. Checked in on us a few times & made sure our drinks were refilled. To start, I ordered their gumbo. For our mains I got 3 pounds of crawfish with sausage & it comes with 2 potatoes & 1 corn. My BF ordered their shrimp Po-boy with French fries. & for dessert I got some beignets. I also ordered the Cajun pasta with shrimp to go. Now, I'm not gonna lie I was a little disappointed that I was overcharged for my crawfish. So they had the happy hour which you can get 2 pounds for 14 bucks. However I was charged 20.99 for 2 pounds on top of that another 7.99 for an extra pound. Okay, now I know I'm not tripping but the math ain't mathing. I didn't look at my receipt until I got home, but I'm not going to be upset over a few bucks. * Seafood Gumbo- kind of expensive for a cup of gumbo since it was 9.69 however it didn't taste bad. The sauce was on the thicker side and it wasn't salty, it had the right amount of seasoning. I would order it again. 3.5/5 * Shrimp Po-boy with fries- loved the batter and the shrimp was fried to perfection. Sauce was good too. Fries were just okay. 3.3/5 * 3 pounds of crawfish with sausage, potatoes and corn- whoever is boiling in the back knows what they're doing. The crawfish was buttery, spice level wasn't too spicy but had good amount of heat. The spicy mayo dipping sauce that was provided was delicious. Sausage was above standard. Corn was cooked nicely but the potatoes could've been boiled for another minute or two. The only criticism I have is that they need to purge their crawfish a little better. 4/5 * Cajun Pasta with shrimp- the pasta was creamy and shrimp was cooked nicely. However for an extra 5 bucks to substitute for shrimp they could've given at least 6-8 shrimps. The 4 I received was on the skimpy side. 3.4/5 * Beignets- came out piping hot. It was doughy, pillowy and had good texture. It also wasn't oily which is good. I just wish they had some sort of dipping sauce for the beignets but I ain't mad at the whip cream though. 4/5 Overall, I'll definitely come back. The inside looks nice with a beach type vibes. The patio views next to the lake was also good. Collin was a solid server. They also have a full bar as well. I'll have to order some of their cocktails next time.

The $20 ribeye special (12 oz with a side) is a standout deal that's honestly hard to beat. We sat inside near the bar, and the atmosphere struck a great balance--casual, a little lively, but still comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation without feeling crowded or rushed. I order my steak well done, which can be tricky, but they handled it the right way. The first one came out slightly under, and our server Madi addressed it immediately with no hesitation. What really stood out was her approach--professional, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She even brought out a fresh serving of cilantro rice while I waited, which made a big difference. The second steak came out exactly right--flame-grilled, tender, and flavorful. The cilantro rice was fresh and well-seasoned, the fries were crispy, and the drinks were well balanced. We ended up staying after our meal just to relax, which says a lot about the overall experience. Great service, great value, and a place we'll definitely return to. Ask for Madi if you go--she made the experience seamless.
