This is my favorite restaurant in the Burg. When I initially moved to the Burg, I was going South on 49 from Jackson and immediately saw the big fish sign. I knew I wanted to try it! The restaurant is a good 5-minutes off the highway. It is in a large cabin on a small river. It is definitely a country cooking kind-of-place. It is so, so good! Chicken, veggies, biscuits, dessert, mmm mmm mmm. The place is very clean. There is indoor and outdoor patio seating. This would be a wonderful place to host a reunion. I will be back!

Plenty of room in there. A giant deck on the back overlooking the river.

We almost didn't stop here when we saw the average rating on Yelp, but there were only 4 reviews and they were pretty scattered, so we took a chance. We came for Sunday lunch buffet. Plates were a fair $12.99 not including the delicious tea. If you are from the South and you are obese, this place provides a good explanation. Healthy? No. Low salt? Our blood pressure laughs at that. Fried crispy and golden? Oh yeah. Does every dessert hide beneath a creamy blanket of Cool Whip? Of course. This place is a solid 4 stars of good Southern style home cooking. And enough of it to make even the most disciplined eater walk away feeling ASHAMED. Worth it. Worth the month that eating here will undoubtedly shave from your nursing home stay in the end! That place will suck anyway.

When they do the crab legs all you can eat! I'm here for it. Even without the crab legs the food is great! The people are super sweet!

This is our official review for Super King Buffet…read more My child's review: "All the food I tried was pretty good, only around 2 things I didn't like. The fried chicken was overdone but still not the worst. Dessert was good, and the shrimp was good. The tea was also pretty good!!! I ate till I was nauseously full cuz it was js that good fr id go back and definitely recommend it, and the sushi I tried was pretty good! ps yes it was also clean and the service was fast but the waiter lady put me on the spot asking what drink I wanted and I didn't know what they had and I got scared lowkey like lady I dunno what y'all got!!! wym "what drink u want" IDK WHAT DO YOU HAVE??? Anyways 4/5 stars ()" - My review: "3 out of 5 stars (), wasn't bad. All the meat seems a little overcooked, flavor was a little bland for most. Shrimp was good, I did eat till I got nauseous. Most reason for my 3 stars was the price for the quality. Would've been better for a $10 buffet rather than a $20 buffet." Thank you for reading

Once walked to our table, the waitress got our drink order. We went to make our plate. Place was pretty clean and they food was plentiful!!! I was in town just for 1 night and this was a great choice I didn't get any pictures or videos. The only thing is I thought the price for the buffet was ridiculous. I paid $26.51 for for myself

On the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Catfish Plaquemine, and it was phenomenal. Perfectly prepared catfish with a sauce that really brought the dish together. This place has the feel of a classic New Orleans-style restaurant with consistently strong seafood. Definitely worth a visit and I'll be back.

If great restaurants were graded on atmosphere and service alone, Crescent City Grill would be…read moresitting near the top of the class. The staff is attentive without hovering, professional without feeling scripted, and they genuinely make you feel welcome. The ambience hits that sweet spot -- energetic but still comfortable, making it an easy place to settle in and enjoy your meal. Now let's talk about the real headline act: the cheese grits. Absolutely out of this world. Creamy, rich, perfectly seasoned and the pepper Jack cheese added a wonderful touch-- they weren't a side dish, they were the star of the show. If they sold those by the gallon, I'd consider questionable life decisions. I ordered the shrimp po'boy. The shrimp themselves? Fantastic. Fresh, fried just right, and piled generously. The toppings and that homemade remoulade (or whatever magic sauce they're whipping up back there) were bright and flavorful. The only hiccup: the bread. The ends were toasted with the intensity of a NASA heat shield. I needed jaw strength training to get through the first few bites. Once you navigated past that crunchy barricade though, it was smooth sailing. I finished with the deep dish apple pie à la mode. I'm not sure if it was made in-house, outsourced, or assembled by a dessert engineer in a lab somewhere -- but I don't really care. It worked. Warm apples, flaky crust, walnuts, brown sugar, and cold ice cream melting into the whole situation... excellent flavor combo. Bonus points for a strong bourbon selection at prices that don't require a small loan application. That alone will get me back in the door. Four stars because of the bread battle, but I'd absolutely come back -- especially for those grits and a good pour of bourbon.
