    Mostly breading

    Well I guess I'm the only one who didn't like the food.. I'm from the south and this isn't what I consider home made. Ordered several items including catfish, mac and hush puppies. Wasn't in love with anything

    Daryl E.

    Wanting to try this place. Times are incorrect on Yelp and Apple Maps; unfortunately the second time I came (first time I came is when I noticed the time is listed wrong, so came back during the time listed on the door) - unfortunately they were having issues with their system and only taking cash at the time, which I did not have any on me. Staff was very friendly and helpful in the time I was there, unfortunately did not get to try any of the food, but planning on coming back in October and will be making another attempt at that time

    Chocolate Cake

    Catfish was very soft to eat seasoned just right. The sauce was amazing garlic sauce especially. My first time having sweet potato cornbread and it was moist tasty and the butter sauce chefs kiss. About that chocolate cake lord baby Jesus that was the best cake I ever had. Thank you guys for a great eating experience.

    Jambalaya

    Excellent food that reminded me of when I lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! The location was a little confusing...you enter one door from outside....to the left is Memaw's and to the right is a bar that serves pizza and burgers. Really enjoyed everything we ate...highly recommend the mac n cheese, hush puppies, Fried Chicken and Gravy, Shrimp Po-Boy and Jambalaya. The sandwich was fairly large with a generous amount of perfectly fried shrimp and a tasty remoulade. The crisp fried chicken was accompanied with a delicious mouth-watering gravy that was to die for. Loved the complex flavors in the jambalaya that also packed a good amount of heat. Finished off the meal with a wonderful Chocolate Peanut Butter Hurricane frozen dessert that had a delicious brownie crust at the bottom, creamy ice cream, crushed cake and peanut butter cup pieces topped with a wonderful homemade whipped cream. We spoke to the owner and Miss Stephanie when we came in. They were so friendly and you could tell they took great pride in their cooking. I hope the restaurant will be successful!

    Catfish Nugget Combo, Jambalaya, Hush Puppies (8)
    Lizz B.

    First time trying this place. We ordered to-go and everything was great. The Jambalaya was our favorite and we will definitely be back if we are ever craving it. The hush puppies aren't dense at all and also delicious. I love when hush puppies are fluffy rather than dense. The fries were also great. Our least favorite was the catfish nuggets but even they weren't bad (just outshined by the other great food). Our friend got the chicken pasta and also said it was great! We will be back. Only annoying thing is that they charge $2.50 for a couple packets of Frank's red hot sauce and tartar sauce. I would understand if these were made in house but it seems a little odd to charge so much for packets (like ketchup packet style) especially with how much food we ordered.

    Shrimp Grits with sausage

    I truly enjoyed eating here after work on Saturday. The Greeting from Diamond was very pleasant and she explained how to order from their kiosk and also made suggestions. I ordered the catfish nuggets and their shrimp & grits. I also decided on banana pudding for desert. When I say everything was freshly made and I LoVe the fact that their catfish nuggets were not salty. I will be back and Chef KB don't change a thing. Diamond keep giving that Great Customer Service and I'll see Y'all again this Thursday for some more Banana Pudding. I certainly appreciate that you offer your own homemade Tartar Sauce... Thanks IG for sharing this Restaurant!!!

    Gumbo, Hush Puppies

    THE BEST GUMBO IN LAS VEGAS! I lived in southeast Texas for a couple years and I was taught how to make gumbo and I ate a lot of it. This is Louisiana gumbo! It has the smokiness, the sausage, chicken and I added grilled shrimp. Yum! I wanted to try as much as I could. I ordered the hush puppies, earls chicken wings, sweet potato cornbread, and dirty rice. Also had the banana pudding, delicious and homemade! Everything was amazing. The dirty rice and gumbo were my favorite! So much flavor! The young women helping was amazing! They have a kiosk to order but she took my order. Beautiful pictures on the wall too. I don't know why this place was empty at dinner time. Come here! The prices are great too!

    Fried Cobbed Corn + Hush Puppies
    Arne Paul V.

    The chicken wings, catfish nuggets, cobbled corn, gumbo, cabbage, green beans and gumbo had that distinct NOLA flavor Was good meeting chef KB and Diamond who took care of us. In about a month, they will be having a smoker set up to smoke some turkey wings, sausages and delectable meats Looking forward to the additions to an already great menu Hella bomb food for sure

    Shrimp Grits
    Nik G.

    Was in the mood for shrimp and grits but didn't feel like driving anywhere. To be honest I only ordered food from here because they had that on Uber Eats. I had low expectations but this place was absolutely delicious! I also ordered the catfish with red beans and rice and cabbage. Everything was seasoned to perfection and authentically flavored! Next time I'll take a drive over to the restaurant. I'll definitely be having this again.

    Where has this place been all our lives?! After reading all the amazing reviews, and realizing this was so close to home we had to try it. Unfortunately, it is in a strip mall and hidden away, so if you are next to Chris's place it is the door Attached to that. The location is convenient and the inside was very cute. Granted, we were the only persons eating there. There were a ton of takeout orders coming and going. It allowed us to get to know the owners better, and the daughter was named diamond and has a twin sister named Jewel . Her parents have been partners in this truly southern creole experience. We literally ordered everything from the chicken wings which were outstanding! To the gumbo, which was absolutely delicious to the shrimp and grits, which knocked it out of the park. I have to admit, there was no heat to any of the food, but I was grateful for that you can add your own accordingly. We will definitely be back over and over again!

    For a long time I've been missing the food of the New Orleans. Having not been able to get back since before the pandemic, I dream of it. And this little place with the unassuming entry has a new customer for life. The place is super welcoming. But that isn't what we are here for right? We ordered shrimp and grits, jambalaya, hush puppies, and fried cabbage. We also tried the warm brownie which is magically not too rich. It super chocolates. The shrimp and grits was cheesy, saucy, and flavorful. The jambalaya was also flavorful, perfectly portioned, and nice proportions. The hush puppies were nice and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. And the cabbage was delicious. Can't wait to come back for more. I'm eyeing the po boys!!

    #JamersonEATS @ Memaw's Gumbo in Las Vegas. We arrived 45 min before closing so they were out of a few things we thought about trying but baaaabaaaay, what we got was what we were meant to have because it was !!! First things first - the young lady that took our order was a sweetheart. She gave us a thorough run down of the menu and helped us decide on what to order. Next, the portion sizes were great...enough for hubby and I to share. And finally, everything we ordered was fresh, hot, seasoned well, and tasted delicious! It's a gumbo spot so I was counting on the gumbo to be on point (and it was...literally a party in my mouth) but the chicken was a great surprise...the wings were fried crispy but still juicy, and a decent size. They tasted just like my momma's fried chicken -huge compliment. The seasoned fries were alright and would've been better with some extra seasoning. Nonetheless, I would definitely return - maybe within a day or two

    Catfish Nuggets & Gumbo
    Shieda O.

    10/10! The food was so delicious! The ambiance is clean and artistic and beautiful! The service was very pleasant, helpful and super nice. I will definitely be returning again! I loved the gumbo and the catfish nuggets! I'm excited to try more things on the menu!

I went at 4pm with my gf on a Friday, and although it was a bit quiet, it was very clean and well kept! Walking in, first thing that caught my eye is how spacious/open it was. We were greeted with a unique fisherman-esque entrance with nets hanging over our heads as well as a shark hanging by the bar.

The service was friendly, and the Louisiana-inspired decor is cute and adds to the charm of the place. One thing to be mindful of: when ordering, our waitress casually suggested or repeated add-ons in a way that could easily be mistaken as part of the original order. For example, we ordered the traditional jambalaya, which also has a "loaded" option for an extra $10. We clearly wanted the original, but she repeated it as "loaded." Thankfully, my husband caught it and corrected her before it went through. Later, we noticed another table was upcharged for potatoes without realizing they were an add-on. So just a heads-up--be very clear when ordering and double-check what's included versus extra to avoid surprises on the bill. Overall, the food and atmosphere are solid--just make sure to pay close attention when placing your order.
