    Hot honey lemon pepper wings
    Jessica C.

    So good! Everything was hot and fresh. Fried shrimp and catfish were perfectly seasoned and fried golden and crispy. The meal comes with choice of two sides -- corn was sweet with a seasoned butter sauce, okra was fried just right. Seafood rice is so delicious! Has crab bits in it. Only two choices for drinks -- bottled water & Pepsi. Great customer service. Very relaxed atmosphere. They have seating inside and a large parking lot with accessible entrance. Ordered through DoorDash and everything was ready at the specified time. They were out of beignets which sucked, but I got a refund for them. Will be back!

    Omg!!! If I could give them 10 Stars I would. My order just arrived and everything is HOT and fresh.... The seafood rice is absolutely delicious a fluffy flavorful masterpiece. The shrimp seasoned to perfection and the size I'm in love. Now for these catfish nuggets and fries they are fireeeee so flipping delicious and juicy I almost bit my tongue. This is my first time trying and absolutely WILL NOT be my last. Wonderful 1st time experience!!!

    I have heard such great things about this place. The advertising is great. My husband and I drove almost an hour to get here. I was a little disappointed. The fries were soggy. And I ate them immediately when I got in the car. The shrimp was well seasoned but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the batter. The service was great. Very fast and friendly. They do have a few booths that you can sit at. But its nothing fancy. I dont think I would go back unfortunately.

    This was Supposed to be the ultimate...Listen it's wasn't worth it...$23 plus

    Excellent food! Ordered the grilled shrimp bowl and the fried shrimp bowl both were excellent. Cornbread was also fresh and tasty!

    This is an interesting restaurant with a lot of food choices. I was with my picky Louisiana born…read morecolleague so he can try out their offerings. They have a few unique items like their sweet tea which is called swamp water and is infused with lemon, lime and orange. It didnt really seem like it was infused. More like they just poured in various concentrated fruit juices. Too bad our waitress wasn't as informative as the waiter serving the table behind us. She failed to indicate that they have off the menu items, and specials on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It was kind of hard to choose since I had been eating seafood all week leading up to this visit and also trying to avoid fried foods this year. I ended up choosing the mussels and bowl of gumbo, along with a sweet tea. The tea tasted fairly similar to a lipton sweet tea from the soda fountain and not really something homemade and infused with fresh juices. Mussels - these were really good. Even if half of the mussels fell out into the broth during preparation. Gumbo - this was kind of questionable. My colleague also saw the redish hue of the liquid and said he was glad he didn't order it. It was filled with a lot of seafood, but the liquid was just too creamy. My colleague also commented on the etouffee that was being brought out to other nearby tables and supposedly it looked too dry. I also ordered a to go dessert. The bread pudding. It ended up being pretty decent though.

I originally planned to order the jambalaya, but I was told the stewed chicken was tender and tasty with a mouthwatering gravy. They were absolutely right! I opted for the collard greens and creamy mashed potatoes as my sides. Don't get me started on the fried oysters. They were delicious! Between the food, large portions, authentic flavors, and friendly service, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Our party of seven ordered three appetizers and seven entrées, and we waited nearly two hours for our food while several tables that arrived after us were served, finished, and left. Service throughout the visit was also lacking. When our appetizers arrived, we were not given individual plates, so the seven of us had to share and eat directly from the three appetizer baskets. Our drinks remained empty for much of the meal with no refills, and our waitress rarely checked on our table during the nearly two hours we were there. What disappointed us most, however, was how our concerns were handled. When we politely mentioned the excessive wait, management and the owner/chef became defensive rather than acknowledging the situation or offering an apology. I even mentioned that we are a military family and that my father-in-law served, but the owner seemed completely indifferent to our concerns. The food itself was average, and the loud karaoke setup directly beside our table made it difficult to have a conversation. We understand that restaurants can get busy and delays happen, but basic service, communication, and professionalism matter. After this experience, we will definitely not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant to others.
