Heard about this place so decided to head in on a Wednesday night. Semi busy, lots of regulars…read morebecause the staff knew everyone. The owner was taking shots with the table behind us, so I knew I was going to like this place! Very nice interior with lots of seatings. I ordered the head-on shrimp with the 89 special house sauce. It was sooo good. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and wonderfully mixed into that yummy sauce. I almost wanted to take the sauce home and dip some garlic bread into it, it was that good! The only downside was I ordered fried calamari as an appetizer and they completely forgot to put it in. By the time we realized the calamari never came out, we were already almost done with our shrimp and no longer was feeling the calamari. I would definitely come back another time and try some other options.

Our group decided to come here because we had heard good things about the establishment, but…read morehonestly I wasn't too impressed. When we arrived, we were greeted by the staff right away, and our server was very sweet and attentive, so the service was good overall. The ambiance was nice and made for a comfortable setting while we were there. However, the food was pretty mid. I ordered the spicy Cajun crawfish, and while the spice level was there, it lacked seasoning and didn't have the flavor I was expecting. On the other hand, the drinks were amazing. Whoever was working the bar did a phenomenal job. Overall, it was an okay experience. I'm not sure if I'd return, but to each their own.

The restaurant was very clean, and the host staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming right from the start. As for the food, it was good enough, though nothing amazing or memorable. My main disappointment was the drinks--they have two different fountain soda stations, but the soda was completely flat at both. It wasn't a bad visit by any means, but it didn't quite hit the mark to make it a standout meal.

But you have to first try a cup of Gumbo, one if not the best I've had. Also whole flounder, boiled shrimp and more. The micheladas are extra good + they can add a boiled shrimp or an oyster in it. The only problem is getting a seat, most of the time. But you can drink a beer while waiting in line. But it will be worth your time.

First time trying this spot. This spot was selected by a guy friend for a meet and greet and I'm…read moreglad he selected this placed which was on my bookmark. Service from Avi was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. We both ordered the Salmon Orleans plate. Which comes with a large ounce of fried Salmon on a bed a dirty rice and topped with a crawfish cheese sauce, which could've had a bit more. The fried had a nice crisp batter. This was delicious and worth the price. I ate from this plate twice. My newly friend also added some sides, of red beans and rice, & Mac n cheese. He had me sample both, I didn't really care for either of them. But i did enjoy the red beans better than the Mac and cheese. The Mac had this dust topping of paprika or cayenne pepper. I'm believe it was for presentation but it was a bit of confusion for me. The strawberry lemonade was extra sweet from what my table guest expressed. I'll def return. I love the wall art of NOLA on the walls, feels as if you're in the city of spirits. My favorite was the voodoo egg rolls $16, which are two large egg rolls cut in halves. Which presented in 4. With one sauce. It was amazing. I def will ordered these beauties again. The menu had space for opportunity. It definitely needs to be updated with deception details like the egg rolls amount. When comes with the salmon Orleans.

Katy is quite the trek for me, so when I knew I was going to be on that side of town, I looked up…read moresome saved locations and this one I knew would be the winner for the day, and it did not disappoint! Getting to the location was quite easy, parking was super easy as well, it is in a small shopping center. As I went inside, I could smell the food, and I knew it was going to be good. I was greeted by a younger guy who handed me the menu, but fortunately, I already knew what I wanted! Which was one of everything! But, I was solo on this day, so I had to have some restraint! I chose to go with the catfish basket, with 2 filets, fries (cajun), a side of mac and cheese, and a side of their specialty sauce that comes with crawfish! I had an appointment I was going to next, and I didn't think about how long it would take, but fortunately, it didn't take long at all. They drop the food to cook after you order, which I love!!! The catfish and fries were piping hot when they came out. Seasoned just perfectly for my taste! I'm glad I went with the two, so that I could take the other one home for later!!! I don't know how they season the fish, but keep doing what you're doing! I got the mac and cheese, it looked super good. It was cheesy and had the cheese pull that we all know and love. It wasn't my most favorite dish, it was missing a little something. BUT!!! When I added the side sauce with the crawfish in it, it became my favorite! Something about that combo just works! I believe it's the sauce they use in one of their pastas, but don't quote me on that! The sauce I used as a dip for everything, fries, mac and catfish. It is worth getting! All in all, loved everything about this place. It reminds me a little of some of the places I used to go to growing up in Memphis. Family vibe, packing lots of flavors, good music going, and just good everything. Will be back to try more of the menu!

I called the order in and she told me about the special on crawfish once I hit 5lbs. Buy 5 Get 1 Free. I love love love crawfish and this was my first time having them since I moved to Texas in August. The flavors were very unique so the foodie in me couldn't decide. There are so many places to try so I just decided to wing it. 2lbs - House Special 2lbs - Kitchen Special 2lbs - Thai Basil (I was scaredddddd and excited) I added an order of potatoes and eggs. All Hot. Got home and got them gloves on that s$%t was so HOT (temperature and spice) I had time to find a movie and pray for my tummy bcus I was finna grub even if it burned a hole in my mouth lol. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! They all have their own unique flavor. The House was reallyyyyyyy good. They were kinda sweet and spicy to me. The Kitchen had the kitchen sink in them. It was all kinds of veggies cooked into the crawfish. The flavor was all throughout so the heads were delicious. The THAI BASIL was the ONE it had a unique taste that you don't expect when eating crawfish but it tf WORKS. Let's get into these eggs. They were just past ramen eggs. Dipped in the sauce at the bottom of them bags (eye roll in foodgasm heaven). Can't wait to order again.
