We ended up with raw oysters, grilled Oysters, Calamari, gumbo and this big plate of fried oysters, shrimps, fish and fries. Needless to say, there were no leftovers but we tried.

I have been to the restaurant every year for the last five years on a trip to Louisiana. This year,…read moreI was shocked to find out that there were at least 12 items on the menu that were not available. As I asked for several items, the waitress told me they were not available. I even asked for two double bourbons and she came out with an empty bottle saying she only had enough for one. To be honest, I was absolutely surprised as I normally love the restaurant. I ended up only eating the charbroiled oysters and drinking a beer. I'm not sure why they were out of so many items but my guess is the owner doesn't seem to care. The oysters were good, but not nearly as good as previous years. I would not recommend the restaurant.

Food was good, very overpriced (at least the crawfish half and half was for what you get). The…read moreetoufee over catfish looks like a better deal at 26.95 but was enough for two people. I sampled the seafood gumbo, the crab cakes and the crawfish half and half. Gumbo was 7/10, crab cakes 9/10 and the crawfish half and half (half fried tails and half etoufee) The 24.95 half and half entree comes with no sides such as salad or veggies, etc. there were adequate fried tails, but the etoufee was probably 1/2 cup max over ALOT of rice, but you only get tails and etoufee and a lot of rice with that entree. The gumbo was good, if a little dark for my taste, but good. The crab cake was very good, I personally loved the bit of dill and bay leaves I tasted in it and the horseradish sauce made it even better. Bottom line, this is really the only game in town so they can charge what they want and will stay busy. Would have been awesome to have a lunch menu available. Our waitress was capable but really not much of a ray of sunshine on our travels through Franklin. We would go back in the future.

In all fairness they were busy. A couple came in later when it was slower while I was still eating my food and asked the server what was quick. She said red beans or gumbo. They ordered gumbo and got their order in literally 2 minutes. All of that being said the employees were apologetic about the wait, the food was good and the store is really cute. I'd give them another shot

Very friendly service with a great family atmosphere. I loved the jokes integrated into the decor.read more

We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area...

These were the best crab cakes I've ever eaten, on top of a biscuit that was a little crispy on the edges and soft, warm & moist in the center, all covered in a crawfish cream sauce. Absolutely delicious. And the Bloody Mary, made in house from scratch had just the right amount of kick. Had me sweating a bit, just like I like it. Service was friendly & efficient with no hovering. The whole vide of the place was welcoming and friendly. A little cross talk between tables is never a bad thing at brunch.
