    Great place to eat fish and shrimp! everything is so delicious and homemade, our server was so nice and attentive its a little place and its not even crowded. I order a basket of 2 fish and 6 shrimp and let me tell you that everything was so delicious! It comes with fries and hush puppies and cole slaw. Would definitely be coming back! The restaurant is clean too! That is very important for me to see this and it didn't disappoint!

    Food was good service was even better. Even got to meet the local legend himself. Seems like a family owned business where everyone knows each other. Small spot to eat with limited tables but overall great people, great food and easy spot to find.

    Danged good boiled seafood!

    We enjoyed our dinner here. The cooking time is long but worth the wait. Staff is friendly and attentive. We would eat here again.

    Food was absolutely delicious. If I could rate this restaurant 6 stars, I definitely would. Fresh and served hot. seasoned well and served with love. Service was fast and I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves seafood and that great Southern taste.

    Everything was good. Service, order size, waitress. I'd return. The owner stopped by to chat.

    I stopped in for takeout, and it was crazy busy at the time. I was told the wait could be 30 minutes, but it wasn't that long. I'd rather wait less than promised than more. I ordered the seafood sampler. There was a little mixup with my order, but they made it right! Customer service exceeded my expectations. The owner was so nice and apologetic. The food tasted awesome. I'm guessing the boiled seafood must be good by the number of people in there ordering it. Will definitely stop again should my travels bring me back to town.

    Great establishment, friendly staff, great food! Was in the area for work and went out to have dinner with some coworkers. There was a big group of us, and the experience was great!

    I've visited enough times to know that the food can be a hit or miss…read more I'm sure every restaurant has an "off" day, so perhaps we visited when there was a different chef working. On our last visit, everything was pretty salty. I ordered the prime rib melt, but was very disappointed. Even the gator bites didn't taste like how I remembered them. The boudin balls were the saving grace. They were large (in comparison to the other boudin balls I've previously had) and very tasty. The sweet potato waffle fries weren't bad either. There's 35 photos that should be posted with this review.

The health inspector must not pay attention during inspections. After walking past the kitchen and seeing a bucket of food that appeared to be etouffe sitting on the floor with no lid on it, a cardboard box of baked potatoes next to it, and see the waitresses spend more time circling up to gossip than actually paying attention to their tables..... I will never waste my money in this establishment again. Go try Big Thickett BBQ or another local spot in town. Watching the unsanitary practices by a waitress named Kaitlyn, who seemed to be in charge, and the laziness of majority of the group gave me enough reason to never waste my time having a meal here again.

While trying to blend in and watch some good ol' Fox News to complement my new location, I stumbled across this joint. Like any ambitious visitor, I had made it my goal to hunt down some alligator to mark my virgin experience into the south. When I first came in here, they said they had run out of much of their stock but were due a new shipment soon. The owner and staff were so so nice and their sincerity really stuck in my head. Came back a couple days later and as promised, it was time to nom on the alligator! My boyfriend and I had the alligator sausage po-boy, shrimp and fries, hush puppies, the grilled asparagus, and what I remember to be something like alligator tender strips. I gotta say the strips and the hush puppies were the best. The strips came w a sauce that worked well w the meat, and the hush puppies were so soft. The fried shrimp was on the salty side and the grilled asparagus were somewhat limp, lacking that crunch. But overall, the food was pretty good. It was definitely satisfying as a snack and quick meal. And the verdict on the first time gator? The texture of the tender strips were softer, and it was harder to tell it was gator. But the gator sausage for sure tasted more unique. Definitely a little more chewy, and glad to have finally tried it! But I guess ultimately I'm a beef or chicken girl haha The bar is pretty spacious, and even better - across from inside it is also another bar that serves a HUGE variety of slushee cocktail drinks. Like, their selection is intensely impressive, and you can sample to your hearts content. The prices on these drinks are super affordable, and I got too excited to get turnt and ordered a cup size way too large for myself to even finish. I played my flavors safe and ordered a strawberry daiquiri w a vodka base (can't go wrong w SD!) and it was so good. If you like your drinks light or easy w a meal, don't order the second shot. If you like your drink w more kick, definitely get that second shot add on. I'm so glad I stopped by this joint. It's a great place to kick back, and get a snack, and beyond that, the service and staff are just so friendly and phenomenal. Coco and Daisy especially made huge efforts to provide recommendation and accommodation. When this city girl needs a break away from the city, I just might show up at this place again.

That was the 1st of two things that were unexpected when I got here. The other was how good the burger was! I got the Muenster and Swiss burger (medium of course), and it came out perfectly!

I should have taken a pic, but I didn't expect it to be so good, so you have to take my word for it, lol. I would definitely come back.
