I tried the shrimp boil with no spice, the mushroom etouffee, and the mauque choux. The shrimp and…read moresausage were good but the potatoes and corn get pretty hammered in the process, soft/mushy. The mushrooms needed more seasoning. They were out of cornbread at 2pm. The restaurant needs more ventilation because something was going on and anyone who walked in the door was coughing and had to go outside. Hopefully, not a common issue. I would not expect to eat in for this reason. The decor is cute though and I like the color scheme.

I can't remember the last time I felt so full after a meal! My husband got the gumbo and he said it was yummy and filling. The cornbread was a little overly sweet for me, but I still gobbled it up. I can't speak much for the authenticity as I've never been to Louisiana, but I found the food pleasantly spicy. My husband added hot sauce to his gumbo

It was incredible! The whole menu looks amazing but this chicken biscuit sandwich has to be their #1 seller.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious and our server helped us narrow it down to some great recommendations. We started with the crawfish beignets and they were fantastic. For my dinner, I had the Crawfish Etoufee and I loved it. It was definitely spicy like they warned us, but we really enjoyed it. The gumbo was also spicy but full of flavor. My wife loved her gumbo paired with the honey pecan shrimp appetizer. Our cocktails were also perfect and the drink list is great. Overall, from beginning to end, we loved our dinner. You have to give them a shot!

This has shrimp and crayfish smothered in a rich Cajun sauce over rice. The shrimp were very large and delicious. The whole dish was perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It was the perfect portion size as I was stuffed. I also ordered their Louisiana Albita Root Beer ($4). How have I never heard of this brand, it is fantastic. One of the best Canned Root Beers I've had. The service was very good. Super friendly and efficient. The only advice I could give was my waitress needs to speak up, she had too quite a voice. The cook and also a manager or owner came out and asked how everything was. Excellent, you guys are doing something the right way. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! New Orleans cuisine done right.
