    First time here
    Kevin G.

    The place was packed at Noon on a Wednesday. We were seated in about 5 minutes. They turn tables pretty fast. A parking lot with plenty of parking. It was pretty loud but muted due to the low ceilings. We could have a conversation at out table easily throughout our visit. We did have to wait a bit for our waitress to come over as she was cashing out 3 or 4 tables as we sat. The wait was not very long. We ordered softdrinks, a cup of gumbo to start. Next, she ordered a bowl of gumbo for lunch and I had the hamburger steak with onions and brown gravy, fries and hushpuppies. The gumbo had very little seafood in it, the rue was dark and tasted silky and had good flavor. The gravy on my meal looked like and tasted like it came out of a jar with little flavor. If we return, I will try something else as we saw quite a bit of food delivered to tables around us that looked like better choices.

    The seafood was fried perfectly catfish, oysters and shrimp. Not rubbery and over cooked. We had crab claws as appetizers also done well. Everything reasonably price and great proportions. The staff was very neighborly and efficient. It is not a fancy restaurant but a good place to stop in and have a nice lunch. If I were in the area again I would definitely dine in again.

    I was excited to try this new restaurant. They began by asking the public's opinions on some of…read moretheir food offerings which I thought was a great idea and a great way to have the locals feel invested in your restaurant. The decor is nice and fits the local area well. Now for the negative unfortunately. We were not greeted upon entering. We sat ourselves at a table and after waiting for 15 minutes I went and got menus for the table. After waiting another 10 minutes we were able to flag someone down to get our drink order. We ordered a Bayou Dog meal and the lunch special (chopped steak). We waited another 30 minutes for our food. The "Bayou Dog" was lukewarm at best and was really just not good. It sounded great on the menu but the whole thing was a letdown and I believe the only sauerkraut was the one little piece of cabbage you see in the picture. My dining partner said the chopped steak was in small little pieces. Just weird. We gave up on drink refills or getting our check at the table and went to the counter to pay so we could leave. I have heard good things about breakfast so I will give that a try. The good news is this is a new business and they will hopefully learn a lot and make some improvements as they go along.

    Great food, excellent service and hospitality. I went with a group of friends. Most of us had the…read moresmash burger. It was juicy with all the right toppings to make it a delicious, drippy delight! The meat was cooked perfectly. The crinkle fries were hot and as good as frozen fries can be. One friend got the banana milkshake and raved at how much banana taste it had. Several also indulged with dessert. The Hot Fudge Sundae was a hit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can't wait to return as I hear their chicken tenders are great but I have to try the shrimp poboy.

    Stopped in just after the busy lunch crowd to give this place a shot. We were greeted right away…read moreand seated right after they bussed the table. We ordered the boudin egg rolls for an appetizer and wow! If you've never tried boudin anything before this is a great start! Apparently, folks drive from all over just to order them. They came with a secret recipe yellowish dipping sauce that had some horseradish and possibly Dijon mustard in it. We loved it and it was a perfect compliment to the egg rolls. For our meals we both ordered po' boy sandwiches. Mine was shrimp, hubs had fish which happened to be snapper. Both came fully loaded with mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickles on fresh French sub roll. And crispy fries for $12.99. The seafood was fresh and you could tell that it was. This place is a bit boring on the inside regarding its decor, but the food we ate was delicious. I'd recommend to anyone and hope to stop by again.

    The food may be great, but I'll never know because according to our server the chef flat refuses to…read moreaccommodate dietary needs and wants. i wanted a seafood platter because i like some variety. I wanted it grilled because I eat low carb. The menu says that for $1.99 extra they will grill your platter, so that's what I ordered. The server said that the cook "will not" grill the seafood platter. If I want grilled I have to get the fish only platter or the shrimp only platter. I asked for a few more minutes to see if there was anything else I wanted. I still wanted the seafood platter so I asked for him to grill what he could and fry the rest, as a compromise. Then I was informed they the cook "will not" split up a platter like that. If I want the platter the ONLY way I can have it is ALL fried. Here's the thing. I "will not" pay $33 for a seafood platter if I can not have ANY of it the way I want it. It's a shame. I've been excited to try this place and it's the third time we've driven out there, and the first time we actually caught them open. I guess I won't be driving there again. Plenty of other seafood places in town are happy to grill oysters and crab claws if that is the way the customer wants them.
