The servers were very friendly and service was efficient at dinner time. I got the Shrimp Po'Boy. It was really good! The creamy remoulade was very tasty and added a great flavor to the overall meal. They did not skimp out on the shrimp, which was much appreciated. The shrimp was seasoned well and came fried in a thick batter. The meal also came with Creole fries on the side and the again, the seasoning was perfect and not too salty. Overall, I think that this is a great spot for some flavorful Cajun food. I want to try the other items on their menu. The vibes were up and I would come back if I was in the area!

Between the food, large portions, authentic flavors, and friendly service, this place is definitely worth a visit!

We were really hoping to enjoy our visit, but unfortunately, it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. 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.

No fountain drinks.

When my coworker and I visited this restaurant for lunch, the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. I ordered the pork chop with a choice of rice or corn and selected corn. What I received was shocking: a very thin, breakfast-sized pork chop and half an ear of corn- all for $12.80 I asked the server where the rest of my meal was, and instead of acknowledging the issue, she asked what was wrong with it. I then asked her if she would personally pay $12 for what was in front of us. Her solution was to bring out another thin pork chop, which did not resolve the problem at all. This place used to be amazing when the original owner was running it- the food was always fast and fabulous. Unfortunately, that quality is clearly gone. The difference is night and day, and they desperately need the original owner back.
