    weekend special crab, shrimp, sausage, eggs, potatoes, and corn
    Debbie A.

    The outside of the building is a little rundown but don't let that scare you away. I was also a little scared because at 1pm on a Saturday there were only a few people there;however, shortly after a bunch of tables started to fill up. There are a lot of tables and specials are listed when you walk in - read the board. They also have a full bar to order from. The staff greated us as we walked in and our server was beyond friendly and checked on us many times. We got the weekend special which easily fed the two of us. We did the everything butter sauce with med spice - to me the med was a mild/med if you like more heat I think hot would be ok - we will try hot next time. All of the seafood was cooked well not rubbery at all. Other reviews said this was more like Asian seafood - maybe not pure Cajon options but the seasoning was Cajon. We had corn, potatoes, eggs, peel and eat shrimp, crab legs and sausage slices. Overall for $52 (with tax and tip) we ate very well. They give you a bucket with bibs, gloves, straws and claw crackers. We will be back.

    Aloes in and saw some fun promos. We were sat quickly and had Katie as a server. She was amazing! Gave great recommendations, was super friendly, and kept us laughing! My friend and I both got make your own seafood boils. I opted for corn, potatoes, egg, king crab, lobster, muscle, and claim with the garlic butter and house sauce on the side so I can dip accordingly. When I say I am still craving all the flavor... I wish they had one here in Florida. I got a tequila sunrise. The restaurant is themed as under the sea on a fun

    Casual and family friendly. Fantastic food, thanks to waitress recommendation. Skip the gloves but wear a bib. Paired very nicely with a fine aged bottle of Budweiser. Worth the visit.

    Sooooo good! Cute atmosphere. Easy online ordering with pickup; order was ready in about 15 minutes. Everything was seasoned beautifully and prepared as requested. Our favorite was the snow crab legs with corn, sausage, and potatoes. Yum Yummy yum.

    I stopped here for a quick lunch on my own when I was in town for work. The staff was very welcoming and I was seated and helped right away. It was not busy when I came so the wait for food and drinks was minimal. There are tons of seafood items on the menu, but I settled on a catfish and shrimp basket just because it seemed like the smallest item on the menu and I didn't really want leftovers. The breading on both was light and well seasoned. The fries, fish, and shrimp came out piping hot. It was delicious! I wish I lived closer so I could bring my friends.

    Me and my family were staying in Monroe, LA for the weekend and found this place. Now the outside may not look like much but the inside is very nicely decorated and we loved the ambience. The customer service was 10/10 from our waitress Katie. She was so nice and attentive and what we liked the most was she was honest about any questions we had about the food or drinks. She gave us recommendations and overall made our experience delightful. What we valued was the honesty being our first time here. The seafood boils were freaking delicious and FULL of flavor! The Cajun and garlic really fill the area when you open the bags. The fried fish and shrimp were so crispy and she also recommended the Cajun seasoning of the fries which made the meal so much better! Overall a great experience for some travelers and highly recommend

    Delicious snow crab and shrimp
    Michelle H.

    This is my 2nd place to try a seafood boil while visiting the city and this meal hands down knocked it out the park. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, medium heat was just right for me, corn & shrimp not overcooked, potatoes fluffy and my snow crabs shells were crisp and snapped nicely revealing deliciousness. I'm hooked!!

    Let me start off by saying I LOVE chicken cracklings. Being from Mississippi, we don't really have…read morespots that sell them fresh like Louisiana does. So whenever I'm passing through, stopping at Billy's Boudin & Cracklin or Randall's Cajun Foods is a must for me. I went to Randall's today. About 5 months ago, I stopped in and the cracklings had clearly been sitting for a while, they were tough. I explained my concern and even offered to pay extra just to have a fresh batch cooked. After going back and forth, they finally made them fresh, and they were exactly what I wanted. Fast forward to today, I called ahead and specifically asked for fresh cracklings. The young man on the phone said okay, no problem. I walk in 5 minutes later and there's already a bag waiting. I asked where they came from and she told me they were cooked that morning. That was an immediate no for me. If I'm spending $21 for a pound, I don't want tough, sitting all day cracklings. Go ahead and put those back. I ended up trying the boudin balls, big mistake. You could tell they had been sitting too. At that point, I didn't even have the energy to go back and forth or ask for a manager. Honestly, it should be a given. This picture is pepper jack boudin ball. Look how dry it is . Needless to say, I won't be back.

    We ordered earlier this week a prime rib to serve 14 people that are due over for our family…read moreChristmas dinner. The order was to be ready today Dec 27th at 10:00 We just got a call at 9:01 and were notified that there is no meat! I want the public to know that this place is not one to order meats from! We now have 4 hours to come up with something for our family. Family members coming in from LA and Shreveport. You certainly can not depend on this place. Also last week we bought a chicken and dumpling casserole that was horrible! Only dark meet was used! Please do not confuse this company with Randall' Captain Averies on Ferrand. The company that gave the poor service is Randall's on Sterlington Road. This owners purchased this place two years are.
