    Shrimp Étouffée
    Carrie B.

    Food is absolutely delicious. If you like Creole or Cajun this is the place! Great service nice people. Only thing there's limited seating. So just get it to go! Do DoorDash but do get some food from here! You wont be disappointed.

    Exciting!!

    This is a really cool little Cajun spot. I love the whole New Orleans vibe. I would say that the gumbo is average at best but I would come back. It's a long way to New Orleans from here.

    What a great stop, we needed a quick break and found a little bit of NO in Huntington! The food had all the expected flavors of the Mardi Gras. The service was excellent and the ambience of the seating area was perfectly suited to the food.

    Amazing food. I had cake and tried my friends sausage gumbo it was fantasitc. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Its so cozy in here too 4 tables and a bar and delicously cheap food make this a cant miss spot

    Cajun sampler

    Got our order to go after an event in Huntington. I hadn't had the chance to eat here before so I got the Cajun food sampler. It features gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and shrimp Étouffée ($15.99) everything was super delicious and flavorful. I'm not a huge shrimp fan, but they were well seasoned and a good texture. The grits were amazing. The gumbo was perfect on this rainy day. My husband got the Blackened Catfish and Andouille Smoked Sausage Étouffée over Cheesy Garlic Grits ($14.99) and he really liked it. The fish was large and flavorful, the sausage was tasty. And he also really loved the grits. I'm usually in town on Sunday when they are closed so this was a real treat. The two folks working were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely eat here again.

    Chicken and sausage gumbo. look how dark they got that roux. Yum!

    Excellent! Owners are from Louisiana and we're very friendly. The place is tiny and I'm reluctant to give a review because sooner rather than later they will outgrow this space. I just don't want to wait in long lines for this deliciousness. For America standards the portion was small but quite honestly that is exactly what the portion should be and it was delicious beyond measure. To be fair prices did math portion size. This is a must try if you're ever in Huntington.

    Gumbo, potato salad and a Pepsi (they also have Coke and RC Cola)

    Great atmosphere, but serious seafood safety concerns…read more I really wanted to love this spot the vibe is fun, the service was decent, and the menu looked promising. But unfortunately, I had a serious issue with the mussel dish I was served. When the bowl arrived, most of the mussels were completely closed, which is a huge red flag for anyone familiar with seafood. As a general food safety rule: if a mussel doesn't open during cooking, it was likely dead before being cooked and it's unsafe to eat. I flagged it right away to avoid getting sick, and while the server acknowledged it and took off $4, that felt like a very minimal gesture for a dish that could have caused food poisoning. I'm grateful I caught it before taking a bite, but serving unopened shellfish isn't just a minor mistake it's a health hazard. The cream sauce itself was tasty, and the bread was good, but the overall experience left me cautious. If you're ordering seafood here, I recommend checking your plate carefully or maybe just skipping it altogether until kitchen safety improves. Hoping they step it up. Food safety isn't negotiable

The set up is hilariously insane, worth the stop alone. The cashier was fun and friendly, and the graffiti in the women's room was inspiring!

We split a full size onion rings, which were hot and tasty. We all had Gold Peak tea. The dogs tasted great, if I had a normal stomach I would have gotten a second one.

We planned a trip to Williamsburg, VA over the week after Christmas. Coming from SoIN/Louisville KY area we are going I-64 E. About 200 miles later (and about 20 miles round trip out of the way) we ended up at Hillbilly Hot Dogs. So about the food... you'll see the pics of the dogs we ordered. Not fantastic hot dogs, but a good experience. The service was impeccable. If you left a tip the cashier sang a song. She had a really nice voice too! This place has a 3 choices for huge hot dogs with a couple of pounds of toppings. The Homewrecker, the Widowmaker, and Pick Yer Wrecker. We saw a guy and his wife eating one as we were leaving, and it was epic. It was a fun place to go to see some the nostalgia in the "old-time" things hanging as the decor.
