    Fish plate

    Onion rings - 10/10 Catfish platter - 10/10 Chicken sandwich combo - 10/10 The portions were huge, the prices very reasonable, and the service was both fast and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Chicken Balsamic Wrap
    Brittany B.

    Service was quick. We came here for Lunch and this place was packed. They cleaned off a table for us in no time. We had 7 people. The prices are great. For my daughter and I, it was around 30$. They have a good wine selection too imo. I got the chicken balsamic wrap with fried okra. And I absolutely loved it. The fried pickles were also a great choice! And the wedge salad was also amazing. I was really impressed with the food.

    Fried Shrimp Platter
    Marcie B.

    Located in a shopping center. No issues with parking. When you walk in a person at the bar will ask to choose a seat and then they will come to your table. This is a recent change. Previously you would order at the bar. Staff was outstanding and attentive. Restaurant is clean with nice tables that are stocked with all the sauces they offer. We had the shotgun shrimp for appetizer. They are delicious and my daughter's favorite. I had the fried shrimp platter with fries. It was delicious. Fresh shrimped fried perfectly. My husband ordered a shrimp poboy which he said was delicious. We eat here often. Food is consistently good with great service in a clean environment.

    Crab Cake croissant with fries

    Great ambiance. Spacious and lots of tv's with various games on. The service is fast and friendly servers. It was packed but the food came out fast and hot. We ordered fried okra, crawfish bread, seafood gumbo, crab cake croissant, cheesecake and bread pudding. Everything was delicious.

    Shrimp platter with fries and shut-up dawgs (hush puppies)
    Joe T.

    A few years ago I stopped ordering fish sandwiches because I was tired of muddy, gross catfish. These folks have reminded me what I love about a good fish sandwich dressed with tomatoes and slaw (even if it is sloppy as someone else described - it is good enough to dig in with a fork if necessary). It's huge and yummy! Good soft bread, crispy fish, and creamy slaw. The menu has a lot of old standards in fried seafood, and a few extras (alligator, frog legs). Fried shrimp are big and done well, thick cut steak fries and thin cut onion rings are both good - although I prefer thicker onion rings, these are still good. Note: counter service - order at the bar, which is in the back. It's a bit overpriced for fried seafood and counter service, but if you need a fried seafood fix, this is a good place to get it.

    The size of the poboy was very disappointing for the price. It was hot dog size, not half poboy size.

We ordered the 50-50 catfish and shrimp combo and the c'est la vie potato. With our tea and lemonade, the total came to $47.64. Unfortunately, the meal definitely did not meet our expectations. The fish and shrimp were small, the potato was small and undercooked in the middle and hard to chew. Only saw two small bites of crabmeat in the sauce. Well, the food itself had an acceptable flavor, it just was not enough to be satisfying. We left hungry and ended up stopping somewhere else to eat. I will say the waitress was nice. This was my first visit and my last.

As soon as the hostess sat us down I noticed that the table were very close by each other which I don't like simply bc I could hear the next tables conversation and it was hard to have a conversation of my own. Other than that, the service was good. Our waiter was very nice and efficient and knew the menu like the back of his hand! I ordered the Dru Platter which was the choice of two items off the seafood platter and I got the friend shrimp and fish and it was pretty good. The shrimp were my favorite and it was fried and seasoned very well. For dessert I had the white chocolate bread pudding and it was very good! Very moist and not to sweet but just right! If I go again this would be something that I would definitely get! No if, ands, or buts about it! That bread pudding was a 10/10! Overall, I would rate this place. 6/10!

We opened the doors unsure if we should sit anywhere or wait to be seated but before we had a chance to pull out chairs for ourselves a young lady asked us how many in our party as she guided us to a nice little corner table big enough for me and my three kids. She had menus in hand and seemed to have our drinks back to us before I could open the cover. I wanted to try a variety and our server recommended the Half Shell Seafood platter. I decided to mix it up a little and opted for blackened catfish and shrimp, grilled oysters, and of course a deep fried crab cake and a deep fried stuffed shrimp. This platter also came with a side salad and a bowl of seafood gumbo. All of it was too shelf and tasted like it was made to order. For an appetizer I went with the crispy artichoke hearts and let me tell ya, that was the right choice! The artichokes came out first and I had never had any other than in a spinach dip, now I couldn't imagine having them any other way. The perfect combination of tart and robust with a crispy, crunchy coating, these little vegetable orgasms were sprinkled with fresh shredded Parmesan and paired perfectly with the house marinara sauce. The order was big enough for both me and my two kids, but I devoured the plate before they had a chance to eat more than just a few. Even the blooming onion takes a backseat to my new favorite app. When the Half Shell Platter arrived I was anxious to see what kind of shock my tastebuds were about to experience and I was surprised in the best way. The catfish was cooked to perfection with a blackened flavor you can't match at home. The shrimp too, perfectly cooked and seasoned with no trace of a rubbery bite or overpowering flavor. First time having oysters grilled and I've got to say raw will always reign supreme, but these were a close second. The rest of the plate was what you'd expect, predictable and delicious. Not the kind of hole in the wall establishment I was looking for, but exactly the kind of authenticity. The server kept the drinks full and the table clear. We had a next to nothing wait time and the food was a 10/10. Well deserving of a five star rating, if I'm ever back in Baton Rouge I'll be stopping in again.
