The interior was interesting with lots of motivational crawfish quotes. Unfortunately, they did not have crawfish available, they must have sold out from when I called earlier in the morning and they confirmed they had crawfish. The softshell crab was pricy, but was very fresh and tasty. The oysters were fine in taste but plentiful. Each comes with 2 sides. The sides we ordered were 2sides of fried okra, a potato salad, and sweet potato fries. All of the sides were fried to perfection and had sufficient seasoning and texture. The main issue was that our waiteress forgot our utensils for a solid 10 minutes. Not a huge issue, but a slight disappointment.

We originally had a server who seemed a bit preoccupied with other tables and his regulars, so I asked the amazing MOD (manager on duty from Brazil) if he wouldn't mind pairing us with a more attentive server and WOW!!! Della took over our table and she was literally the best, most attentive and kind server I have ever had! Talk about southern hospitality! She embodies it all! Not only was her service impeccable- the food was amazing!!! Everything we got was so delicious and fresh! It came in a very timely manner and everything couldn't have been more perfect! This was my first full day of my trip in Louisiana and I am so happy we came here because the MOD and Della truly made my first day here memorable! Thank you so much for having us today! I will absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a great view, perfect service and delicious food! I will be back! :)

I've dined here several times before, but after a recent experience, I won't be returning…read more For my son's First Holy Communion and my daughter's Birthday, we hosted a 10 person family dinner at this restaurant. During the evening, a decorative plate that had been placed unsecured on the wall next to our table was accidentally bumped and broke on the floor. We immediately cleaned it up and notified the staff. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner approached our group and began berating us. She mentioned multiple times that the plate cost $450. To further guilt us, she brought up her deceased child in a manner that I found extremely distasteful and reprehensible. Several members of our party offered to replace the item, as well as pay for it, but nothing seemed to satisfy her. We were left so stunned and belittled that we chose to leave the establishment before being served our entrees. My husband paid the full bill, although we never received our food, and provided the waiter with a cash tip. The owners came back out at this point, but offered no apologies, nor did they remove the entrees from our check. However, other patrons approached us afterward to apologize for what we experienced. Accidents happen--but if fragile items are placed unsecured in busy areas, that responsibility should not fall entirely on guests. The way this was handled was unprofessional and unacceptable. I would strongly caution others before dining here.

My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.

Bravo! We came here just for apps and drinks as we hopping from place to place on the Northshore. We did not have a reservation and we were there early enough that it was not crowded just yet, there was no one sitting outside where it overlooks the lake, but it was a bit hot so we sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us with a friendly smile. We ordered the flatbread app and martini espresso. The flatbread was not an ordinary flatbread dish, like I was expecting. The flavors all magically came together and this dish was really elevated. There was a BBQ sauce that was not your typical BBQ sauce, it was light, had a sweetness to it, and barely a drizzle on the fresh ingredients. The jalapeno lime crema also marinated the flavors of the pork and Tasso together, making each bite so satisfying. Even the bread was not tough or chewy; it had a nice soft texture and perfect way to serve all those ingredients together. This place was one of our favorites for our stay on the Northshore. Everything here as top notch and great!

Every window has a stained glass piece of artwork hanging in it. I ordered their Crab Cakes Benedict from the specials board with Home Fries. Grits are available too. The crab cakes on an English Muffin with the eggs on top was super delicious and very filling to get my day started off right. The home fries were thoroughly cooked; nice and soft. Their orange juice offers two choices, regular and fresh squeezed. Service was excellent! I received prompt, courteous and friendly attention throughout my stay from all of the staff. There is extra parking on the side and in the back.

We sat outside because it was a gorgeous day and decided to we wanted to try the charbroiled oysters. We ordered a full dozen to spilt between 2 of us. When we received the oysters it was nice that they split the oysters on 2 separate plates for us. The oysters were super tiny. They may have been a little overcooked which could have caused them to shrink, regardless, they should have either mentioned that the oysters are running small or not charge full price ($26). They tasted "ok", we've had better. We expect much more from a "Gallagher" restaurant. We will be back since we love the atmosphere and drinks, but we won't be getting the oysters!

We were in the dining room, which was a very lovely room with nice windows looking out to the lake. The outside dining upstairs has a better view of the lake, but it was still very nice. We wanted to stay in the air-conditioning. This is a good place to frequent if you live close.
