Service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Now to the food, the gumbo, estoufee and boudin balls were all just ok. The corn, green beans and okra were good but nothing spectacular. I absolutely loved the pit beans, mac and cheese, smoked chicken, pulled pork and the Cuban sandwich. The red beans and rice as well as the brisket were also good. My family loved the hushpuppies. They had lots of beer/wine options. Desserts also sounded great but we didnt have room to try.

Hadn't been here in years but had great memories of this place. Sunday car trip brought me back…read more Bottom line is food was great and at a great price. We had the catfish, chicken fried steak and cheeseburger and fries. Love the mash potatoes and green beans. Excellent side dishes. But I dislike ordering at the counter and being handed a beeper. The drink refill station was a mess. Big piles of ice and spills. The back room smelled of sewage. The restroom needed attention. We ended up at a table that was greasy like the others we had tried. I got the impression this restaurant had turned to a fast food model and was understaffed. Needs a motivated adult manager.

I've been to Lotawata Creek numerous times. And I can honestly say I've always love this…read morerestaurant, Until now! The restaurant has been remodeled, basically turning it into a Fast food type of restaurant. They no longer have waitresses/servers. And you have to find your own tables. It seems as if the entrées have gotten a little smaller, yet the prices have remained the same. I'm just saddened by the recent changes to the restaurant.

This was our 3rd or 4th time to this establishment and unfortunately it did not meet expectations…read morelike our previous visits. There is almost always a wait but tonight we got seated pretty quick. The menu has quite a bit to choose from and unfortunately I feel like the prices have gone up and the quantity doesn't match what you are paying for. I ordered the fried shrimp. I asked for fries instead of the rice & beans. For $17.50 I'm expecting 8-10 shrimp...I got 5. They gave me the rice & beans and when they brought out the missing fries, they were stone cold. I was informed that since I didn't get the fries originally there, would be no substitution charge and that the rice & beans were on the house. My husband ordered the jambalaya entree that came with cornbread and a salad. Cornbread was a sliver but it appears he had the best meal of the night. Our friends ordered the chicken sandwich and it came with stone cold fries. The other ordered a burger that came without the cheese he requested (then was charged for asking for it) and stone cold fries. All fries were discarded and fresh ones brought out after awhile. 1 out of the 4 meals ordered was the only thing that turned out right. I kinda expected an apology or something for all the issues with our meals but nothing. The company we had was great. The dining experience was a let down.

Husband and I were invited out to this place by some friends. They informed us of a band playing…read morethat evening. Checked into the event. They had two bands playing back n forth all night. I've passed this place up on occasion driving to mt Vernon. Always wanted to check it out. Glad we did. They have a gravel based parking. They have outside seating under a roof. Once you walk inside it's like you're in a wooded swamp like area. It was packed a bit so couldn't take many inside photos. The food is Cajun based. so you want some gator or catfish bites. They are one of the places to go to in Clinton County. I tried their grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. A side of Cajun fries( not Spicy- husband thought they may season with ole bay) we shared fried pickles and fried okra- we were almost full off of those alone. Large portions for appetizers! even their ranch dressing they brought out to dip the pickles in seems homemade. staff was amazing and attentive. We sat at the bar to eat and all of the ladies were wonderful! they also have a bar outside. Which was perfect as we were going to watch the bands. Overall we had a great time there!

I've worked in food for 40 years and I know what FRESH slaw looks like. The server said it was made fresh that day like every Friday. I told her I didn't believe that and to take it away as we were not eating that. Last week everything was excellent. Big difference from one week to the next. I don't think we'll be going there next Friday. Consistency is a must when you're serving food. She did not offer a replacement of any kind and our bill DID NOT reflect a discount either, disappointing. The customer is always right, remember that!

The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service by the owner, Kyle. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the visit. It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

The other customers were all friendly and made conversation too. Lots of people grabbing a bite to eat here before heading upstairs to the Attic for live music. Now the food! Damn, that was good. I had the special, crawfish and shrimp creole. It had a lot of flavor and just the right kick from the spices. The rice was perfectly fluffy, and I couldn't stop eating the hush puppies. If you're here, grab dat hurricane too. I could sip on that all day, especially in the summer.

The waitresses were fast, came right over with menus and took our order quickly, and the food came out fast too. We were a party of two and shared two combos, but I noticed other tables ordering one combo per person which works too depending on how hungry you are. The snow crab was so juicy and the mussels were super fresh. We got the mixed seasoning with no spice, and the potatoes were sooo good to balance out. The corn was amazing, and the shrimp was enormous and so juicy, I'm not sure how they got it that good. The sauce leans pretty salty, and I ended up drinking like three cups of water, but eating it with the potatos balances it out. Price point felt fair and I left stuffed!! Would definitely come back.

My appreciation of Clam Strips goes back to my childhood and dinner at the local Howard Johnson's…read moreon Friday night. Yes, that is a longtime ago. Anyway, the best place that I have found to rekindle those memories and enjoy a simple meal of Clam Strips is Gulf Shores. I can order them as a meal with two sides and they also offer them as an appetizer. If I just want a light lunch, after shopping near by, the appetizer hits the spot. When I order the dinner, my sides are always Hush Puppies and Fries. Yes, it makes my meal all fried foods, but it is so damn good. My service has always been attentive and friendly. Just in case you did not know, this business is locally and black owned. So get out and support this business.

Gumbo 2 Geaux is the perfect place to dine on Friday during Lent. I went for one of my favorites,…read moreClam Strips, but they were sold out. Since there were no clams, I went for the Catfish Basket. The Catfish Basket had multiple catfish fritters, steak fries and two hush puppies. They also provided a cup full of sliced onions and pickles. Plus, a small serving of Remoulade. I enjoyed the cajun breading on the catfish, it had a flavorful spicy kick. The steak fries were cut fat and thick and I liked the seasoning. For me, they could have been crispier. The Hush Puppies were good, but I was disappointed when I saw a box of Classic Hush Puppies being delivered by their supplier. Homemade Hush Puppies are so much more flavorful. They've been promoting, Barq's Creme Soda on FB and Creme Soda was a favorite when I was growing up, so I couldn't resit ordering one. It was cool, refreshing and brought back flashes of memories. Oh, it was also a great accompaniment beverage to my Lent dinner. Customer Service is good, because chances are you will be waited on by one of the owners. They are true hands on owners and big supporters of the Alton community.

They have a huge dock which is nice for those with boats (I recommend reserving a space of any holiday weekends/summer weekends to make sure you have a space as it can get packed). Downstairs there's seating, showers, bathrooms, and a pool. Upstairs there's both an outdoor & indoor bar as well as outdoor patio and indoor seating. When it gets busy be prepared to wait for a spot as most people linger & drink. I love that there's the outdoor bar so you can at least grab a drink while you wait. The food & drinks are responsibly priced. Service can vary as sometimes we have a waiter that's on it and super fast & efficient and other times we aren't checked on and have gone to the bar for more drinks since we couldn't find out waiter. For food I definitely recommend the shrimp poboy! Overall a great place to go for some good food & drinks at a decent price. Will continue coming back every season.
