So unfortunate, was really looking forward to having some quality Cajun food. Ambiance is more like…read moreyour typical diner. Sat outside which was nice, but took a while for someone to come and bring me water and take my order. The food though, even more sad. Crawfish etouffee - 2/10 The crawfish tasted extremely fishy. The crawfish pieces themselves were way too large, and very very chewy. Sad excuse for an etouffee. If you ever go to New Orleans and get real Cajun food, go to Deanie's Seafood Restaurant and get yourself a crawfish etouffee there, that one is impeccable. Don't get this here. The side of cornbread was equally sad. Beignets - 2.5/10 Equally sad. More like fried dough balls than proper beignets. Not flaky whatsoever. If you're ever in the south/southeast and want good beignets, go to PJ's coffee (they know how to make them well). Don't get it here. Beignets were around $10 and etouffee was just under $20. Came out to roughly a $35 bill or so. Not worth it, would not come here again if I'm looking for good Cajun food.

Popped in with the fam for Sunday brunch. Crowded but we were seated without a long wait. Ordered…read morethe beignets, jambalaya, crab cakes eggs Benedict and chicken fried steak. First off, service was attentive and friendly. It's a well oiled machine and their staff works efficiently. I never had an empty water glass and we were repeatedly checked on by different staff. Now onto the food, crab cakes eggs eggs Benedict and jambalaya was pretty good and a little spicy. Good portions. If you have eaten a beignet before, then this is not it. It is a biscuit disguised to look like a beignet. Not crispy or fluffy inside. Pass. (If you have never had a beignet, then you won't know the difference bc many people like it and it's a different kind of pastry. It's just not typically what a beignet tastes or feels like.) As for the chicken fried steak, it also looked like it should but it wasn't crispy and the gravy was bland. Could use a lot more flavor (maybe just more salt and pepper?). Biscuit on the side was nice and fluffy. We liked it with the side of soft butter. Overall, a good experience and there were just a few misses. I suggest ordering what has been "starred" on the menu if you decide to come in.

We ordered 2 lbs of shrimp - I think it's $25+/lb and 1 lb crawfish (can't recall how much maybe its $17+ /lb), 5 steamed rice, 1 large extra sauce (drunken crab mix - can't recall exact name) . Everything was really good - we did medium spice and it was spicy especially for my 12 yr old son but he still enjoyed it though. The service was good, but could've been better - staff are always by the bar are and just chatting, but someone will come check on us from time to time - its just that when we need their attention sometimes its hard because they had their back away from us and we ate at around 2:30ish so the restaurant was pretty empty - just 2-3 tables taken inside. The place is big, lots of seating and great for big groups. However, one of my disappoinment here is the ladies bathroom - its really dirty, trash overflowing and on the floor, etc, like its really dirty. I hope management can fix that issue with the staff. P.S I forgot to take photos because my kids were very hungry and didnt let me take pics...next time!

How I found out was we were talking about years of old that this place is a mainstay for our town and he liked it so much he purchased the store. They do have a military discount but only on Mondays.

Some of the plates coming out looked AMAZING. We had the Crab Dip, House Salad, Crab Louis Salad and Clam Chowder. Everything was delicious and satisfying. We even took home a slice of Key Lime Pie. We'll be going back again.

Cute and casual restaurant displaying many lovely beach murals and specializing in seafood. DJ was our fantastic server today. He was Friendly & attentive. We ordered 2 buckets with crab & shrimp.

They have many seafood options besides the buckets. DJ was so accommodating throughout our meal. We dined early around 5pm, but if you go during peak hours, lunch or dinner you may have a wait.

It seemed like they really enjoy what they do. We never needed to ask for water because they made sure our cups were always full. The place would make people think it's touristy because of the decor but it's just decorated very mardi gras themed. I liked it though, it was endearing. PLUS they did a sing along with all the customers. It seems like one of those last remaining places that a kid would go to and then remember it fondly in the future. And the food was really good! Except I ordered some kind of chicken dish with a garlic and wine "sauce" that I do not recommend. I forgot the name of it, but later when i asked what was in it the server said it was a "holindase Cajun sauce". Which would explain why I didn't like it.i hate holindase sauce lol but maybe other people will enjoy it. All in all 5 out of 5!

The ambience was lively, the service staff were warm, and the food was amazing. One of my favorite things they offered as starters were their assortment of mini muffins (banana nut, rosemary, cheese etc). They were so good! The staff was nice enough to give me some to take home at the end of our meal. As we were enjoying the muffins, there was point in the evening where the staff all came together and sang "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. It felt special and was nice hearing everyone sing along. We eventually ordered a jambalaya pasta dish and fish with vegetables dish. Needless to say, the pasta was out of this world. It was creamy, savory, and perfectly balanced in flavor. I'd come back just for that pasta dish alone, and that says a lot as I am not a huge pasta lover. Since it was my birthday, they surprised me with an ice cream dessert with chocolate writing on the plate. I was most impressed with the quality of chocolate they used for the writing. It was not Hershey's syrup one would assume, they went an extra step and used high quality thick chocolate that they melted to write my birthday greeting in cursive. Thankfully my name is long so I could eat more chocolate lol. By the end of the meal, I left the Palace with a feeling of nostalgia and mild sadness because I had to leave. That's when I knew I experienced something special. I can't wait to go back!

The flavor of the food was packed with delicious herbs and spices. Truly a supernova of delicious authentic soul taste. If it were just that, it'd be an easy 5 stars; however, onto the negatives: 1. The shrimp & grits were pretty skimpy on the grits (altho tons of shrimp and delicious sausage in the seafood gumbo. HIGHLY recommend that one) 2. The prices are a bit high, in the $20-$40 range. However, I understand that delivery companies do take a big portion 3. The grubhub page said "not currently accepting orders" while the Uber eats one was accepting them. I asked the owner over text and she said she'd try to fix the grubhub website (I wanted to use grubhub over Uber eats cuz I had a $5 off grubhub coupon). It still wasn't fixed after 15-30 mins so we just gave up and ordered on Uber Eats since we were hungry. Would've been nice to know how long it might take to get it fixed; I was assuming it'd be a quick setting change Note that these guys are delivery/pickup only via Uber Eats or Grubhub and you have to just wait and show up at their house when it's ready.

We found street parking, and when we entered, I was reminded of a Denny's type vibe, with the seating set up. It seems like a no-frills place, which is fine because we're here for the food.

Lots of mushrooms, and the sausages had a little kick of heat and flavor - Beignets: these were bite-size french-style doughnuts topped with powdered sugar.
