    Mozzarella sticks.

    Was in town for work and ordered some food online and this is what I received. Not worth the money.

    No food no water not even a hello from the server that walked by 5 times

    Poor service when not busy in the least - seated and waited 10 minutes not even checked on. I wouldn't come here if starving and the last place in Lincoln - run don't walk away from this disaster of a restaurant.

    Dog friendly patio My hubby went to look for server and we got out seats outside promptly. We waited about 10 minutes before we were tended to. They had apparently forgotten to let our server know she had a table outside. But once she knew, it all went very smoothly. She took our orders for drinks and appetisers. And got right to eat. The drinks took a little longer but she also promptly informed us that they were coming. We got gator fries for appetisers Lightly battered and crispy alligator bits. They were tender with a wonderful mustard sauce It was delish!!!!! Then she took our food orders. I ordered a crayfish etoufee It was delicious. Bits of crayfish in delicious gravy. I have to say the gravy looked like it had been dished out awhile whilst waiting for either my hubby's food or my bread. Presentation of the gravy looked a little congealed but the taste was good. Hubby's food tasted wonderful too. I had to use the restroom before leaving and the decorations in the restaurant felt like i was thrown back in time to the 1960s. The restroom was well maintained and clean. I will definitely be back to try more. I had my eyes on something else on the menu too 4 stars! We will definitely be back!

    We had a very nice lunch here. New place for us. Located in thr old Haymarket. We sat on the patio and ordered a drink and Gator fingers. Delicious. Light breading. And the sauce served was perfect. I had the chicken czarina. It was nice but the sauce was a little heavy.

    Outdoor view!

    Joined some coworkers for a meal while traveling in Downtown Lincoln! Sat outdoors and the view was great! Loved being able to see the town and dine. Massive menu with lots of options - ordered the Creole Crab and Corn Soup for an app, and the Blackened Chicken Caesar as a meal. The soup was a bit on the salty side for me unfortunately. And pretty standard caesar salad with grilled chicken / nothing too crazy there. Nice and polite staff! Next time if I return, would probably want to explore other menu options!

    Great location in heart of downtown Lincoln, parking is always a pain, very cool decor, old school gas pumps, signs with a deeps south feel, service was slow, once our food arrived waiter never came back to check on us, didn't refill my drink or ask how the food was. We ordered the Armadillo eggs, the taste was ok but way overcooked, bacon burnt, chicken was dry. The grilled shrimp skewer had zero flavor, no seasoning, corn and crab soup was super salty, I ordered the Cajun platter that came with seafood gumbo, Jambalaya and blackened catfish, the only thing decent was the catfish, very fresh and clean, cooked well, the thick tomato pasty hard rice substance they called gumbo is not gumbo, the Jambalaya was ok, but again overloaded with tomato, couldn't taste anything else in it. It's a shame I love Louisiana cuisine but won't be back to try this place again.

    Pretty cool place in a great spot downtown Lincoln. The bigger was solid and the service as well. I will be back to try some of their cajun food. Unfortunately I was not too hungry and didnt even finish the whole burger. I am sure the row is a blast during football and basketball games. Go see them. The bartender waited on me as well. John was jis name i believe. He did a fine job.

    Can not say enough about how good this meal was! We loved it all. The service is always above par but today we had THE food! My husband said "best blackened catfish filet he ever had". The gumbo was terrific and my crescent city chicken was equally delicious. BEST FOOD in the Haymarket.

    Cheese curds and Shrimp Gabrelle for appetizers!

    Fun Cajun inspired joint that offers a taste of the bayou in the Midwest! Excellent customer service and a large restaurant with patio seating as well. If you're looking for some Cajun inspired food in Lincoln, NE, look no further!

    Blackened catfish was great. Service is friendly. It's a very casual place with a kitschy atmosphere. Good food in a relaxed environment.

    Slow to get appetizer/food, but the restaurant looks very midwestern, I think the brick work looks nice, and the plating was done well.

    I always get Bourbon Glazed Salmon but today tried the "Bourbon-Glazed Salmon with Shrimp" option…read morelisted on the new menu. Same great salmon with bourbon glaze, with the addition of six shrimp. The 6 shrimp were the teeny-tiniest shrimp possible and not worth paying the extra cost. Very little rice on the bed of rice with this entree, compared to just the salmon entree. I will stick to my regular Bourbon-Glazed Salmon, without shrimp. Hailey was a nice server and very attentive.

    Immediately seated. The restaurant wasn't very crowded that day…read more We were tended to by our server. Very friendly young chap. He checked on us a couple of times. I ordered grilled salmon with shrimp 5 oz. It was not bad. Salmon was a little dry shrimp was cooked yo within an inch of its death. Bed of rice underneath felt like a very thin layer of rice. Literally a thin topsheet of rice Once i took away the sides- it looked very little. I was done within five minutes Have to admit though that the taste was not bad. But very little and definitely not worth the amount we paid for it Also the lemonade machine died whilst we were there. And so we only got one decent glass of lemonade. Will we be back? Maybe... just not anytime soon.
