The corn was extremely sweet and the kernels were crisp. The potatoes were nice and soft but not over mushy. The crab legs were cooked very well, snapping in each place, and the meat pulled outout whole. The shrimp, my daughter said, was better than she's tasted at any other place locally. The only reason for the four stars, rather than the five is the cleanliness of the bathroom and the difficulty of getting out of the parking area. Other than that, the price was great, the food was excellent, and the staff was very amazing!

Once seated, we waited almost 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken, then 10 more minutes for our appetizer order to be take. Appetizer was out and we were enjoying it before our food order was ever taken. Once we placed our food order, we waited less than 10 minutes for it to be served. The crawfish cornbread appetizer was very meh, nothing to rave about. It tasted like jiffy, with dry, old oil crawfish tails on the top. Salad bar trip was something out of the 90s, very unimpressed with it, as the vibe this place seems to be going for it just did not fit. I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye grilled and the garlic whipped potatoes. Both were good, the potatoes did need some salt but overall was decent, but again nothing to just talk about over and over. Husband had the soft shell crab. When he ordered it, our waitress came back to our table and asked if he wanted the crawfish étouffée on top or the blackend shrimp. He was confused as he was under the impression, it didnt come with that, since it wasn't stated on the menu. He told her he guessed he would take the black and shrimp, but to please put them on the side, he did not want anything to interfere with the taste of the crab. When we received our ticket, we had been charged for the blackened shrimp. We asked our waitress about it and she told us she would remove them for us, because she thought that they came with the meal as well and it was a mistake in the system. When she brought us our new ticket to the table, she said well I guess your blackened shrimp are just on me tonight, super rude with a bad attitude and left! We were both stunned by this gesture. The crab left a lot to be desired, he would not order again, his green beans also needed salt and lacked overall flavor. Overall we give it a 5.5/10. Minden desperately needs a restaurant, but this one missed the mark for us.
