This fairly big gentleman took my order I wish I would have known his name, I ordered a seafood platter and my sides were red beans and rice and coleslaw. Waited for my food for about a 10 minutes or so was very fast. Took my food to go and flew home to eat this delicious food. Ok let's get started with the food seafood platter consist of 2 boudin balls 2 shrimp and 2 fish 1 pepper 3 chicken tenders everything was seasoned well and tasted pretty good. Couldn't eat it all between just me, had to put some away. Now let's talk about the sides the cole slaw could have used some more juice but all in all it was ok if I could have choosing something else I would. The red beans and rice was good didn't need much seasoning I was use to my red beans and rice to be spicy but these was not spicy at all which was a good change.

The drive thru line was wrapped around so I placed an order to go inside. The restaurant was moderately busy for a Sunday and was clean and well decorated. The prices were reasonable- with a variety of options including seafood, wings, plenty of sides and desserts. I opted for the combo plate with 2 fried catfish filets and 10 shrimp served with fries and a roll. It took about 20 minutes since everything is made fresh and it was well worth it! Everything was crispy, hot and seasoned well (though the fish could have had a weensy bit more). The Joes Berry Lemonade was a nice refresher to wash it all down. I will absolutely be coming here again.

I was excited because it looked really good, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. After taking a few bites, I realized it was very bland--there was little to no seasoning at all. I'm a bit confused because the customer service is consistently excellent, but the food hasn't been matching that same level. I'm not sure if it was because they were close to closing at 10, but that still doesn't justify serving unseasoned food. I really want to love this place because the vibe and service are there--I just hope the food quality becomes more consistent.

Hosting a friend and showing them what makes Houston great in a short amount of time can be…read moredaunting at times because there are so many options and its also great to explore new local spots. As part of a friend's visit, I suggested finding some sort of cajun/creole cuisine since she doesn't get it back home and she found Creole Kitchen and Daiquiris. This is one of those, potentially easily skipped, restaurants connected to a gas station. To me, gas station food is a very Texas thing (also in Miami where one of my favorite tapas restaurants exist) so I'm glad we got to take her to a bit of a double whammy. This is definitely a casual eatery and seemed as if most people do takeaway but there were a few tables for dining in restaurant. We were kindly greeted by the staff and the cashier let us know they had physical menus to review as we all tried to read the overhead tv menus. We weren't super hungry but wanted to sample various things so went with the seafood combo platter, side of fried okra, collards, and my partner got a small gumbo jeaux. The food came out hot and fresh and in to go boxes, I don't think they carry dine in settings but we were provided extra togo containers to eat in. The fried platter was done very well, fish was super tender and moist with a nice crunchy cornmeal batter. The shrimp were also excellently fried and retained their bounce without being overcooked. The fries and okra were also just too notch to me. I also liked the hashbrown and thought it was a nice sweet bite to go along with the fried foods. I enjoyed the flavor of the collards but thought there was a bit too much broth to greens ratio, the flavor was on point for me though. I had a small taste of my partner's gumbo and thought it was good but didn't have much to make a strong opinion. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, esp with it being so close to me. I'm glad there's a local spot for good southern fried platters and def will be back for some okra or other offerings!

Wanting to come back to try the boils and other food options in the near future. Only disappointment was/were the fried oysters that just did not taste right. We didn't get sick from them, though. So, just a bad flavor. Since Jazz Fest started on Thursday we were wanting some of the po-boys that are seasonal for the event - like soft shell crab, hot sausage, and cochon de lait. Friends used to go to Calliope for po-boys since the owners were from Louisiana. The location has changed several times since then. They have two of the three types and boiled crawfish on the menu. The appearance of the bread looked like Leidenheimer bread from New Orleans. But I think it is the superior rice and wheat flour bread made my Vietnamese bakeries in town. I love this type of bread.

And unlike most, they actually had some kick to them, AND you can tell that they use a quality bacon--not that cheap crap. (I'm an HEB brands connoisseur and I think it's HEB thick cut bacon. LOL!) --I snuck a piece of fish off of my cousin's plate, and it was sooooooo good. So, I'm looking to try that next time that the gates sauce. YOU MUST GET THE GATES SAUCE!!!!! --Nice touch with the flosspick they provide! Cons: --If you eat outside, you have to deal with the smokers, and the tons of uber eats and doordash drivers. --The kiosk doesn't list all of their items, so you're better off using their app. (Hopefully the location's management takes care of this, bc I find using the kiosk to be more convenient, and my phone's battery is always low.) Overall: The food was good, and I plan to come back.
