    Very nice local vibe. Plate specials, 60+ specials. Shrimp, crab claws delightful crunchy. Okra, green bean and coleslaw all tasty.

    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.

    Stuffed shrimp, butter beans and okra

    The food was an always fresh and delicious. Never had bad service and the crab claws are huge!

These oysters are raised in my beautiful home state of Alabama and the Alabama coastline consistently produces a full, rich, creamy taste with a light metallic finish and a drop of butter flavor in each oyster. Remember only eating oysters during a month with the letter "r" in the month's name? That is not an issue with Murder Points! Murder Point adheres to the strict time temperature regulations set by the FDA, meaning we consumers, can enjoy these #butterlove oysters year-round. I'm a fan and bought one of their Murder Oyster sweatshirts. I love it! Do know that their merchandise (available on their website) in fact includes oysters in various quantities, oyster shuckers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, glassware, beanies, and baseball caps. As another Yelper noted, these oysters really don't need all the typical oyster accoutrements (horseradish and ketchup mixture, lemon juice, maybe a dash of hot sauce), I like them with a slight squeeze of fresh lemon on a simple saltine. Given the opportunity, don't miss out on a Murder Point oyster!

    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.

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.

I've held back for 3 visits just to make certain the food was consistent and the folks are wonderful.

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.
