Oyster poboy and Crispy Cajun Mac and cheese

Amazing food and people. The family that runs this restaurant is very nice and full of hospitality. I stopped here while heading to the airport and was very impressed.

Shrimp Poboy

Best Cajun food I've had outside of Louisiana, no joke. The definition of a hidden gem. You've gotta try it if you even remotely like New Orleans food

Daily Specials are special
G. B.

Highly recommended. The food was absolutely fantastic! The Crawfish beignets were so good! The Fried Green tomatoes, gumbo and catfish and shrimp po'boy were also as tasty as I remember when I lived in the Bayou country. A++

Shrimp po boy, kings cake and jambalaya
Lana S.

Yummmmmm...my husband raves about this place and we finally got take out from here the other weekend. We ordered a variety of items: jambalaya, shrimp po boy, fried cajun mac n cheese with crab, bacon and corn, 6 beignets and a slice of kings cake. Omg the shrimp po boy was delicious. Way better than anything I tried in New Orleans (prob trying the wrong places while I was there). Favorite thing I got. The fried mac. N cheese was also very delicious and came with the sweet bbq like dipping sauce. Kings cake was good but very doughy and beignets were good but also very doughy. Over food is great here! Would def. Come back and order more things in the future :)

Soft Softshell crab poboy
Brian S.

Fabulous soft shell crab po-boy specials on some weeks during the late spring and summer. Nuff said. But their fried oyster po-boys are delicious too. All of their po-boys are served with crispy bread, super fresh tomatoes and lettuce, sandwich spread and pickles but I leave off the last two and bring my own cocktail sauce for a sandwich that's to die for. And all of the po-boys can be ordered by the half or whole. They also have good gumbo and if you're feeling adventurous they also have boudin balls and hush puppies but the latter are not your average hush puppy but more of a nawlins take on them. Super friendly employees and did I mention they have beignets. Cheaper and closer than a visit to Cafe Du Monde. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Critic reviews.
Justin L.

Wow. I was recommended this from my air bnb hosts. Freaking awesome. I got shrimp and chicken jambalaya, deep fried seafood Mac n cheese with crawfish, shrimp, and lobster, and beignets. This is some great food for even greater prices. Take out/carry out orders only for COVID. The chefs were more than happy to share their favorites. I was more than happy. The community agrees as well.

Look at all the andouille sausage!

We got there late and we're lucky they had a dozen crabs left they five you the option of spicy or not spicy seasoning ( I chose to buy them cooked but you can opt for uncooked) the guy behind the counter was not super friendly but not rude. He answered my questions patiently (which was nice since we came about an hour before last order can be taken). They text you when your order is ready and have it packed up nicely. And we got a bonus crab and lots of legs for being the last order of the night. The seasoning was good and spicy. Crabs and shrimp both delicious. And the shrimp had a sweetness to it. Everything seemed fresh. It was just me and my sister but I ate 5 to 6 crabs...so happy ....I've been craving crabs for a while now.

I ordered a dozen large spicy male crabs. The claws and legs were full of meat and flavorful. If you're looking for steamed crabs without the disappointment, check out Jae Seafood . I purchased early in the day around 1130-noon, the quality and service was great. Facts: I walked in placed my order, asked the price ($47), and was told 25 mins. I received a text when done and it was worth the wait. This business has a new customer. Yes, I measured the crab and each one was about the same size.

My friend and I arrived a bit early for our reservation, but were quickly greeted and offered a beverage menu. Their cocktail options are creative and constantly changing, often featuring some unique foam toppers. On this particular occasion, I started with the Strawberry Kiwi Spice Margarita, which included some cardamom to add depth and warmth to the fruity drink. I also ordered the Apricot Ginger Sour, a consistent favorite bourbon cocktail with a little zing from the lemon foam on top. Both drinks were excellent. For starters, we selected a few of the fresh oysters as well as a scallop special made with a lemon beurre blanc. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and I was grateful the dish came with sourdough to sop up every last drop of that delicious beurre blanc. My entree was where things went awry. I tend toward pescetarian options and selected the lone fish on the menu that night: skate wing. My first few bites were great, though slightly oversalted. However, eventually the mouthfeel evolved into a burning, ammonia taste, and I unfortunately wasn't able to finish the dish. My friend who also had the skate wing, however, did not have that experience (and I tried a bite of hers to confirm, too!). I know skate wing can be tricky to prepare and this is a known potential issue, but it was disappointing. Luckily, dessert was fabulous once again --- we chose the coconut creme brulee which was delightful. I'm sure I'll be back. Just no skate wing for me!

I heard of this place before but hadn't been and luckily they were still open that late so we headed over there. It was a Friday night, so the place was pretty full, with music playing throughout with some people our aged mixed on the college students there. We lucked out with two seats at the bar. For drinks, I initially ordered the Blue Rock Lemonade - in my mind I thought it would taste or be similar to lemonade cocktail drink I've had before... It was not that lol. Though I normally do like drinks on the sweeter side, this one was too much for me. But it may appeal to others taste. I ended up just asking for the same thing my boyfriend got which was a Margarita (I think pineapple flavor) which was much more satisfying. Again, we both were hungry and didn't feel like sharing apps or being there too late since we had to get up early. The Seafood Linguine caught my eye, so I ordered that while he got the Fish 'N Chips. There's was different in that they used catfish - we are used to seeing cod or haddock - but it came out pretty good. My dish was also pretty good, with a good mixture of seafood (shrimp, crab meat, mussels, clams) in it. We would come here again - earlier time though - to check out other items on the menu.

The seats are comfy, with backs, and there's a place to rest your feet. They have a few TVs, so you can watch sports too. The friendly bartender greeted us with menus and asked if we needed a minute before ordering drinks, and we did, because they have a nice, interesting, creative cocktail list. I had the Grill Your Fruit Honey, a whiskey drink, and it was delectable, but I was very tempted by the Does a Pear Spritz in the Woods? It was Saturday brunch time, so we got one item from their Brunchy menu and one from their main menu. We picked the Famous Post Breakfast Sandwhich with smoked chicken. The server recommended a runny egg, and it was perfect. I had my eye on the BLT, so we went with it. It was so good!! The bacon was thick, crispy, and so flavorful. The bread was perfectly toasted. We had a hard time picking a fav sandwhich, but I think the BLT won. We ordered a side of their cheesy grits, and they were award-winning, and I'm from the south, so I know grits.

Started at a table and then learned there were happy hour specials only at the bar. They refused to give us HH pricing at our table even though we were the only people in there so we relocated to the bar. The bartender seemed skilled and looked like he was making an incredible cocktail. Both cocktails were absolutely terrible and tasted like perfume. Extreme let down. The meal had highlights like the shrimp and grits and steak, everything else was flavorless and not worth the money. It's a beautiful place and had live music but I don't think there's anything that would make me come back.

Who puts starch on a starch? Anyway, the crab quesadilla is amazing. The chicken cheesesteak will rival the best in the area (Mazzella's is the best, and they don't starch their frozen fries)...the boneless wings aren't as good as The Hideaway, but they're damn good. They could step up their game by upping their Blue Cheese (Two Stones Pub is hands down the best)...and Happy Hour beers remind me of the 80's with their prices. So my official rating after 4 visits in the last 2 months is a VERY Good. To add, their entertainment is a good selection of various styles. I'd like to see a Tues or Weds acoustic Happy Hour.
