All food was solid. Seafood gumbo was particularly good. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through town. For any Midwesterners, you may find the potato salad a little bland. Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood.

But as of 5/16/26 this customers wont be satisfied until they solve the issue with their food. And please raise the AC & empty the bathroom cans . The over all inside was clean.

We also had the fried whole flounder which was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. Plus we got the boiled crawfish and shrimp.

Really enjoyed this place. I'll start with the kids area!…read moreIt's like a mini amusement park. We were able to sit and eat while looking directly at the play area our kids were playing in. Lots of props for photo ops and a giant chair which was so cute. There was also a wonderful Elvis tribute singer who literally sounded like Elvis. What a voice. Also shout out to the little kid who performed bc he was amazing! The food was also so good. I got the red fish and it was cooked perfectly and topped with a cream sauce which I loved. Also really yummy French fries. The margarita was also really tasty especially for being on special! Potato salad needs more mayo but other than that zero complaints. Can't wait to go back!

So... its such a blessing to me to come here and i buy a few crabs and shrimp as a TREAT to myself and its SO WORTH IT!! Thank YOU A&B!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR ALWAYS DOING GOOD FOR ME!

Gosh I hate to do it but I can't recommend this place. It saddens me because it's in Houma and I…read moreKNOW my Houma people know how to do crawfish but sadly it seems like they lost the recipe or something. Came in for the ten pound special a while back and I was just so disappointed. The crawfish were bland, the sausage link I ordered (extra $, but still counted towards the weight?...as in if you order the ten pound special they're taking crawfish out to make the sausage, which you paid extra for, part of the ten pounds) wasn't good sausage and also bland. Like what is going on here? Hopefully I went on a bad day but it's Houma guys. There's another crawfish place every where you look. And this one won't get a second chance from me.

This dive is just so so. It's not horrible but it's not at the top of my list. The waitress was…read morefabulous. She was helpful and moved all night as fast as her legs would carry her.

No. Out of that too. I ended up with a bizarre meal without the things I wanted. On the plus side, server was friendly and blackened redfish was adequate (seasoning was not as strong as my liking.
