Once I received my food an hour land 15 minutes later I was given a to go plate . My order was meant to be done on but after waiting over an hour I was given a to go bag of food. The restaurant said open 5-10pm and I intend to dine in since I live over 1 hour hour away. The "owner" I assume was running a 1 man operation with long waits and a limited menu due to demand. Horrible service as never tasted the food. Also the name says Creole food but the sign outside says Cajun. Their is a huge difference....

Kudos to yelpers who lead us here and the negative reviewers need to rethink what they know because complaining about your hard boiled egg not being peeled for you is ridiculous! So we arrived and greeted and asked if we were eating in or taking to go. We said we wanted to sit on the deck and were told to go ahead and he would be out there shortly. He came with menus but we already had an idea of what we wanted (thanks yelpers) and started with the catfish nuggets, we got a half feast low country boil, a lemonade and a Corona. The lemonade is sweet and the Corona wasn't dressed or as cold as I like but that is seriously my only complaint. The catfish came to the table hot & fresh. It didn't have a fishy taste and was cooked perfectly!!! The tarter sauce was on point and usually I would toss some hot sauce on my fish but this didn't need it. The boil came to the table and it was time to dig in! Everything was absolutely seasoned well and delicious. It seemed like every time I moved a piece of potato there was a shrimp hiding under it. It was so much food that we were stuffed when we left. Granted our hard boiled eggs weren't peeled but I don't know of any place that peels your eggs for you. There could be a little more sausage but once again, there was so much food that I didn't feel like this deserved losing a star for. If you are in the area, stop by, you won't regret it!

Our party arrived mid-evening on a Friday night and was greeted by live music and and a friendly wait staff. The menu is Cajun/Creole and did a good job representing that cuisine in a bar setting. Most of the group went with shrimp po boys (nice, lightly breaded shrimp), but for me, gumbo. It was great - hot, robust, and with a good amount of andouille sausage (a critical ingredient for me). For desert, beignets. Freshly fried and served up in an order of four. A good sized order, but don't share. You will want to enjoy them all for yourself. Service was good - friendly, responsive, and with good timing. I'm looking forward to the prospect of another hearty meal the next time I'm in town. Things to know: * Located off of the town square. * Street parking.

They left it there for a while before asking if they could remove it. It was a major lack of common sense. To make matters worse, they delivered hot, spicy boil crablegs to my kids who had ordered garlic butter with no spice. They tried to tell me twice that it wasn't spicy until I showed them a picture of what they had ordered and refused to accept what they were delivering. Once the garlic butter crablegs arrived, there was so much juice in the bag that it was going to overflow my kids' bowls. It was definitely not a pleasant experience. I also witnessed two people walk out after being seated and not waited on for even a drink order. I saw an old man stand at the desk for too long for them to look up and even notice him. Another table nearby asked for our check to leave for us.

Atmosphere This cozy little spot successfully channels the…read morespirit of New Orleans with its green, gold, and purple Mardi Gras accents, Saints memorabilia, and overall festive yet laid-back vibe. The music hits the right notes--lively enough to enjoy while dining without overpowering conversation. It's clear the owners have a genuine affection for NOLA, and that passion shows. A recent perfect health inspection score (100% A grade) inspires confidence in the kitchen. That said, the front-of-house execution needs tightening. Multiple dirty tables upon arrival created an off-putting first impression. With only one waitress on duty, she was clearly stretched thin--rushing between tables and side work. Service was brisk and to-the-point, bordering on curt. As obvious first-timers, we received minimal menu guidance (unlike the couple seated beside us), though she did provide a clear, helpful explanation of the differences between the étouffée and Cajun cream sauce when asked. A menu with photos and more descriptive copy would go a long way toward helping guests navigate the offerings. Drinks The mimosa flight delivered a respectable pour with noticeable champagne character, but the mixers leaned heavily on bottled Arizona-style juices rather than fresh muddled fruit, squeezed orange juice, or quality nectar. A bit more care in the fruit and juice department would elevate the presentation and flavor significantly. Still, the serving size was generous for the price. The water, at least, arrived crisp and clean. Appetizers The fried mushrooms were solidly executed--crisp, hot, and properly cooked, if a touch basic. They lacked the nuance of a true handmade batter but satisfied with a classic ranch accompaniment (though we could have used far more than the meager portion provided). The hush puppies, however, were a standout: delicate orbs of sweet corn-studded dough with excellent flavor and a pleasingly light texture. Just a few extra seconds in the fryer would have banished the slight undercooked centers and pushed them into excellence. These are worth ordering again. Mains The boudin arrived atop a fluffy (if slightly al dente) bed of plainly cooked rice that could have benefited from stock or seasoning. Two generous links offered the classic creamy interior and satisfying snap of casing, with traditional seasoning and pleasing moisture. No bells, whistles, or cheese-stuffed excesses--just honest boudin. For the price, an extra link would have felt more generous. The shrimp po'boy, l served alongside Cajun fries, dressed with the house étouffée sauce and was the star of the meal. Those fries unfortunately arrived cold and soggy, but the étouffée itself shone--rich, deeply flavored, and packed with visible seafood essence. The shrimp were beautifully fried: light, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and undeniably the highlight. A touch more shrimp would have been welcome, but the quality and balance of flavors made this a memorable sandwich. Dessert The beignets--three to an order--arrived piping hot and freshly made, dusted generously with powdered sugar. The dough itself was dense yet well-executed, delivering that satisfying chew. While they capture the spirit of the French Quarter classic, they felt a bit pricey compared to the legendary originals at Café du Monde. Still, they closed the meal on a comforting, sugar-dusted high note. Verdict This restaurant offers an earnest and often successful taste of New Orleans in a welcoming neighborhood setting. There are clear areas for improvement--service consistency, menu clarity, and a few execution details--but the kitchen shows real promise, especially with the shrimp and étouffée. I'd happily return to explore more of their NOLA-inspired menu. A solid effort worth supporting.

The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning?
