We were born here but moved to Tennessee many years ago. We were down here for 4 days and for three…read moreout of those four days we ate at Al's. Great food. Boiled seafood cannot be out. We had both crawfish and boiled shrimp and boiled crabs! And their red beans and rice are so good it was better than my mama! We come to Houma about once or twice a year and from now on this place is our go-to for food

But we did receive great service from her but since 2025 the food is not restaurant quality . This establishment is known for its food and quality. But as of 5/16/26 this customers wont be satisfied until they solve the issue with their food. And please raise the AC & empty the bathroom cans . The over all inside was clean. But stale crackers at the table needs to be replaced.

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.

Was in Houma during my birthday weekend and my in-laws recommended this spot. It was amazing. Wish…read moreI could back. Gave 4 stars due to the margarita I got did not contain any patron. It was sad then the food made up for it! The place is a respectable hole in the wall. Genuine Louisiana taste and flavor! I got the stuffed shrimp and was so glad I did.

Really enjoyed this place. I'll start with the kids area!…read moreIt's like a mini amusement park. We were able to sit and eat while looking directly at the play area our kids were playing in. Lots of props for photo ops and a giant chair which was so cute. There was also a wonderful Elvis tribute singer who literally sounded like Elvis. What a voice. Also shout out to the little kid who performed bc he was amazing! The food was also so good. I got the red fish and it was cooked perfectly and topped with a cream sauce which I loved. Also really yummy French fries. The margarita was also really tasty especially for being on special! Potato salad needs more mayo but other than that zero complaints. Can't wait to go back!

We also had the fried whole flounder which was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. Plus we got the boiled crawfish and shrimp.

No. Out of that too. I ended up with a bizarre meal without the things I wanted. On the plus side, server was friendly and blackened redfish was adequate (seasoning was not as strong as my liking. I found it bland.) One and done.
