    Catfish
    Rolando N.

    Ordered some takeout. Service was quick and very thorough. Family Catfish - The catfish was excellent. Large fillet pieces and a very nice crispy cornmeal coating. The fish was flaky and the flavor was spot on. With the family portion you get a mountain of fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Coleslaw was very good, tartar sauce was outstanding. Fries were limp and just okay. Gumbo was good as well. Lots of plump shrimp and very flavorful. Service was friendly.

    Happened upon this place when we came to this part of time for a coffee shop, so glad we did. It was delicious. The people were very nice very nice and we had some good talks and laughs with them. The place itself had a good down to earth feeling and the food was sooo good. I always order Po' Boys and this was the best one I've gotten. We got the catfish and the shrimp po' boy, nothing was over cooked (very easy to do with shrimp), and the batter was perfectly seasoned and not bland at all. Presentation was also surprisingly cute. I'll be coming here again and you should too!

    On a cold rainy day a bowl of hot gumbo was excellent. Full of shrimp. An owner to greet you and providing excellent service.

    This was the worse BBQ I've had in my 45 years of living on God's green earth! The ribs were old, greasy, and tough! I ordered the 2 meat plate with beans and potato salad and threw it all up 45 minutes later. It made me sick to my stomach and I served in the Navy and have eaten some pretty gross stuff in my lifetime but Navy Mid rats chow was better than this spot. The cashier at the counter was sweet as pie and is the only reason I didn't go back Joe's Seafood, Burgers, and Barbecue and ask for my money back. This spot is definitely the worse BBQ I've had. Wow!

    Right from the start, the pungent smell is overwhelming battered with a film that stays in your nose. The bathrooms were even worse! How this place has passed health inspections blows my mind. Dirty tables, dirty floors, dirty windows, vagrants present, one of the few good things I can say is that I did not see any insects or rodents present. I hate to give a place such a low review, but it's absolutely horrible in here. Waited about 25 mins for my food to be ready when I was the ONLY customer in the restaurant. Food was surprisingly good. But the overall presence of this restaurant should fail any health inspection.

    Being from Louisiana, I've been on the hunt this year for the best crawfish I can find. These were…read moretop notch and reminded me from home. Started with 3 pounds but it was so good I had to get two more pounds. The crawfish is seasoned the right way where the flavor is on the inside so they don't have to cover it in a dry spice. Also they were all big with just a few smaller ones. To top it off, having strawberry abita on tap is the perfect match for crawfish so I was extra happy. Saw the bread pudding on the menu and had to get it for dessert. It was warm, chocolate, and ate every bite. I would get more of everything I had The service was so friendly too and the LSU and Louisiana decorations made me feel like I was back there.

    (UPDATE) I just spent a 4 day weekend in New Orleans on an exclusive foodie trip, and dived into…read moresome mom & pop eateries such as Deanies, Salvos, Zydecos And more, of the 7 Restaurants I went to in 4 days, All of them indeed had Sweet Tea. Delicious Southern Sweet Tea at that not what passes for sweet tea in Texas. I was not told to add grainy sugar into unsweetened tea like I was here. my tour guide was a local woman who's lived in the heart of New Orleans for 63 years, and was shocked and appalled when I read to her what the management of Charlie's Creole Kitchen replied to my critique regarding the Sweet Tea, (lack there of, as well as his belief that it isn't commonplace, or borderline essential) she was shocked in disbelief about as well as the astronomical prices we have to pay as their serving sizes in New Orleans are substantially bigger, for either equal or in some cases even cheaper prices. A Bowl of Gumbo in Texas, is a Cup in New Orleans this trends everywhere I visited. I understand importing certain coastal based ingredients can drive up the cost of the food, got it! that doesn't bother me as much as being gaslighted about things where this establishment does fall short. as a native Floridian, Foodie, and Avid Traveler. I don't really care how long someone's been running a kitchen (one way) constructive criticism should be embraced to increase the quality of an establishment, not gotten defensive over. Removing one star for having to go all the way to New Orleans to not feel like a crazy person about the Sweet Tea and Prices. This place is already really good! but could still be better! (OP) As someone from the Deep South, I have high standards for Southern Dives. First, a warning for my fellow Deep-Southerners: they must get away with this with their native Texan Patrons, but the lack of Sweet-Tea is Blasphemy. Unsweetened only. That's an automatic loss of a star. (that seems unfair over a beverage? no.) because for a lot of us from Louisiana, Bama, Florida, Georgia. That are looking for a little piece of home to dine at, A good sweet tea is the standard of a southern comfort meal. It's the peanut butter to jelly. The milk to cereal, the, Well you get it.. The Standouts: * Baked Stuffed Flounder (10/10): Hands down the best dish I sampled. The roasted red pepper sauce is incredible, and the cheese grits make it a real southern comfort platter. * Chicken, Shrimp & Bacon Corn Chowder (10/10): Truly New England-level quality. An absolute explosion of flavor. * Crab Cakes (10/10): Rich, delicious, and worth every bite. The Middle Ground: The Boudin Balls and Seafood Gumbo were solid (7/10), though the gumbo doesn't quite reach the level of a spot like Pappadeaux, it's decent. $11 for 3 decent Boudin Balls is highway robbery at its best. The Fried Seafood Platter was good, 7.5/10 but at $35, the platter is on the smaller side, especially only given one piece of catfish. The Oysters & Shrimp were good, the Crawfish decent, Catfish was decent, it had a small hint of fishiness, but it was good overall nonetheless. The side salads (3/10) the after thought of the menu, chopped head of lettuce smothered in ranch (or Italian) with one banana pepper, and one slice of tomato that looks like it was suppose to be on a burger, no toppings at all. Truck stops have better prepared salads. Which wouldn't typically be a problem if this was a budget-friendly eatery, but for its Texas-Sized prices, And New-York sized portions. The oversight of the Sweet-Tea and a decent side salad is for sure a miss. It might fully please Texans, but it left somethings to be desired from a non-Texan southerner. That being said! It is absolutely well worth the visit! The food was all above average for the region, the service was friendly, attentive and fast, the food came out quickly and efficiently. The location isn't great, but not bad. a little tight and congested, the interior is very mom & pop feeling which is nice. I truly did enjoy my experience, misses and all. And look forward to returning to sample more of the menu!

I thought there was something special going on, but it wasn't. It was just away the establishment makes additional parking in the front of the restaurant, but there is sufficient parking in the back of the restaurant if you don't mind parking yourself. We went for oyster shots which wee about $10 per shot which included an oyster ZingZang, and your choice of vodka. The service was fast and friendly, but I highly recommend you pay for a side shot, for the oyster shot alone is not strong. We did not purchase food so this rating is based on the experience, bar, and service. I didn't think it was fair to give them a four because we did not eat. My plan is to return for a full meal and update this review if needed. The ambiance included a live band and people dancing next to the stage. .The items that came out of the kitchen all looked tasty and the menu prices were reasonable. This place specializes in seafood: boil, grilled, and fried. The plates ranged from $10 to $30 books.
