When I asked to send them back, the girl looked at me like I was crazy. When she came back, she still had the poppers in her hand, and told me: "The cook said this is how they look when she does them, so". I replied by asking for a refund, and she told me: "Well, I can't do that right now, and I don't know when I can". The attitude, and rudeness alone is for this post. Then, my bf's gumbo was cold, and he had to ask for them to heat it up, which means it wasn't fresh. It wasn't very good. The whole experience was terrible.

I ordered the Crawfish Etoufee and it was pretty good. I wish the portion was larger because I was still hungry but it wasn't that small. The garlic bread was a good add-on but still kinda small. The restaurant was clean and the menu was large. This is a solid choice in a town that doesn't have much.

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 restaurant was decorated as you would expect a good Cajun restaurant to be decorated in. Service was nice and friendly and you order at the register and they bring your food to you. Service was great even after we got our food. A server asked us if we needed refills and if we wanted them in to-go cups, which scored bonus points with me! Here's what I had on this lunch visit: The crawfish pistollette (8/10) which was a small appetizer that was bread with some crawfish etouffee on top. Bread was nicely cooked and the etouffee on top was delicious. Solid starter! The Cajun Cooking Sampler (9/10) - this was a sampler with 3 amazing dishes. I got the shrimp and crab gumbo, which is classic Louisiana gumbo and it was outstanding! The sampler also had a bowl of crawfish etouffee which was good but felt it needed a bit more etoufee to mix with the rice. Lastly, the special of the day was fish courtbouillon which was a fish in tomato based sauce over rice. I really enjoyed this as the fish has a great texture and there was a lot of flavor in the sauce. Overall, solid lunch meal in the $ to $$ range depending on what you order. Recommend you trying it for a great Cajun experience!

From the direction we drove in from it looks like a tiny parking lot with 10 spaces. Someone was pulling out so we got front row parking. There is a MASSIVE parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. Saturday Night 6:07- party of 2. The order and seating process is unusual. Place your order at the counter and they tell you which area to sit in. We were eating at 6:17. That's unreal. Alligator bites ($13) Shrimp tacos ($10) and Shrimp w/ crab gumbo. ($10) 2x miller lite ($7) dinner for 2- $45 Everything was absolutely amazing. I've read reviews where the people complained that the food was bland. And other people complained that the foods were too salty. I have zero complaints. We were completely satisfied. Thanks to Apple Maps and Yelp for helping us make this decision. We were only in for a wedding and wanted a unique experience that was local- not a chain.

She was so attentive and just really pleasant to be around. I ordered a fried fish plate that came with a cheesy crawfish sauce (to die for) and a crawfish pistolette. That fish was fried so perfectly and was STEAMING hot--some of the best fish I've had at home--no kidding! The potato salad was not for me, but that's okay because the sauteed green beans were delicious. What had they been sitting in? Bacon grease? I really don't know, but I loved them. The pistolette was fine--I'm still searching for my perfect pistolette. I will be back the next time I'm home, no doubt about it.

Right off the interstate and not fast food. Wins for me…read more Food was flavorful. The pork steak plate was huge and tender. The jambalaya was more of a dirty rice to me but with more flavor. Liked it even though it was different. The corn I could tell they put 29 sticks of butter and seasoning. Also good. The brisket patty was great. Their bbq sauce is very similar to jack millers but it was like a good church bbq burger. Good thick burger. The boudin is where I'd say skip. Tried the smoked and I liked how it was subtle smoke flavor but the boudin is dry and just ok. It's enough to tease you till you get to lafayette to get some real boudin. Grabbed a lemon ooey gooey and the ingredients is a Stephen king novel. Oh well wanted dessert. Didn't try it but it's lemon always good. All in all not a bad place for a quick stop
