Although she was working alone (small place) you would not have known. The food was great, i had the Philly and my brother had the crawfish Philly. The fries were your normal fires at most restaurants with a very tasty seasoning. The onion rings lacked seasoning and after a few minutes you could tell all the fried foods were cooked in the same oil. Overall 9 out of 10. I will be back next week and will stop by again.

Dirty Diana -one whole fried fish over a bed of dirty rice, topped with crawfish etouffee. Pretty good dish but just a tad bit too salty for me. Down the Bayou - penne pasta tossed in house sauce, topped with fried shrimps and served with 1 piece of fried fish. The shrimp and fish were crunchy good. However the seasoning was a little salty for me. But the pasta and sauce eas delicious and helped balanced out the saltiness.

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...

Solid place for Cajun fare (tons of options), fairly priced, good service…read more We got the crawfish etoufee, seafood gumbo, friend catfish with sides of hush puppies, cut corn, and potato salad, and bread pudding. All food was solid. Seafood gumbo was particularly good. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through town. For any Midwesterners, you may find the potato salad a little bland. Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood.
