    Hands down the best meal we've had in Jefferson! We considered it last night for our anniversary…read morebut a tour operated gave a mediocre opinion of it so we took his advice to go elsewhere. Tonight was the night we made it instead and found it to be the best thing we've had this entire trip. Both our meals were amazing and the cocktails were spectacular.

    Took a long drive to visit Caddo lake was recommended to come here by the boat tour company! Upon…read moreentering the hostess was absolutely sweet but sat us in a back room. We ordered our food but then sat back there 45 mins to receive our food cold from the runner and our server Tony hadn't been by to check on us. We told the runner we don't want the food cold so she took it back and manager came out to apologize / food comes back 2 mins later from the microwave . The same food that sat on the line! The biscuits were burned black! We barely touched the food and then asked Tony to bring us our check . Explained we were forgotten but he claimed he did not forget us and rolled his eyes. Comes back with the check and throws it at us and says buy a personality! In my 15 years of hospitality never had a server do that and I would never dream of doing that/ we let them know inside and they took off 20 percent the kicker was that Tony said I took money off your check and you aren't grateful but the prices were more expensive than the menu! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else in Jefferson! After being treated like that and cold food our entire meal should have been comped!

    This is now, by far, one of my favourite places! Atmosphere, good service and solid food are the…read moremain components of a great spot, and this place ticked all the boxes. We sat on the patio, mainly because we have two small dogs, but honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The outdoor seating is literally right on the river, which is something I absolutely love. Granted, visiting in September means there are quite a few insects around, but that's just nature doing its thing! And, of course, being so close to the river comes with its little extras :) The service was absolutely impeccable. Abby, who took care of us, was attentive without being overbearing -- exactly the kind of service I appreciate. As for the food, they brought out freshly fried jalapeño hush puppies (?) (I think that's what they're called), along with fresh coleslaw and pickled goodies. They totally hit the spot! We then tried the cattle fish fillets, which was delicious and super fresh, as well as the grilled shrimp -- so good! The hand-cut fries and fried okra were also great. Honestly, I wish I lived closer so I could make this my regular weekly eating-out spot. Between the riverfront atmosphere, fantastic service and really good food, it's exactly the kind of place I love. And, of course, plenty of free parking!

    The food is definitely not like it use to be. No seasoning, prices are too high. We drove all the…read moreway from Arlington Texas and very disappointed. Want be back
