    Visiting Montgomery AL for my Nieces wedding and she highly recommended this place for her visitors. I must say it was great. I had the 2 piece catfish with red beans & rice with hush puppy's and bread. Food was "GREAT" and service was excellent. I'm will only be in Montgomery a few day's but will defiantly try a few more things from their menu.

    The food was terrific and the service was attentive. We will be back! I recommend a visit.

    Salmon Platter

    Food: A Service: B+ Price: B Restaurant layout: B Location: B Overall: B+ The food was tasty and the portion size was good. The red beans and rice were a tad dry and the rice was too. I ordered the shrimp due to the oysters being taken off the menu indefinitely. My husband ordered the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. There were a lot of customers picking up to go orders. Overall, we enjoyed it. Give it a try if you like a New Orleans feel for dinner.

    SHRIMP TACOS!!!
    Khalilah L.

    This was recommended by someone at the current facility I'm working at in Montgomery. I came on a Tuesday, so it was really lowkey and quiet. I was greeted at the door by the hostess and shown my seat; the waitress came over right away and took my drink and food order (I had already stalked the menu at work, so I knew what I wanted.). I ordered the seafood gumbo as an appetizer & the fried shrimp tacos. My food came really quickly, so I ended up taking my seafood gumbo home. The shrimp on my tacos were HUGE!!!! The tacos were served with Spanish rice (which took my 4 stars to 3); it was cold and plus there was a lot of it with feta cheese sprinkled on top (definitely getting the potatoes next time). All in all, good experience. Wait staff was nice and attentive. I'm in Montgomery for 3 more weeks, so I'll definitely be back.

    Cute little restaurant. Been here a few times. The waitress has her days but she is sweet. Food is always fresh. There is always enough parking

    Do not eat here. The staff was very rude. I came during a lunch shift around 12:20 today. My server had a bad attitude and she expressed that she did not want to be there. I heard her say," I have three people on hold, and they are going to stay on hold." In addition to that, I asked her to split my payment and she did it incorrectly. She never smiled, and never asked us how our food was tasting. She was not knowledgeable about the menu when my husband asked her about some food items she said she didn't eat it, and she never suggested anything to try. We had been traveling for 4 hours and we were starving. I did not expect to be greeted with a rude server after being on the road for so long.

    Had an doctor's appointment which had a waiting period, so we decided to grab some brunch. This spot at this time of the day was very quiet, able to enjoy the sounds of the new Orleans music. Our server was very sweet . The food was amazing, usually whe I order wings from other establishments I ja e to send them back due to them being too hard. These were made just for me... my salad was oh so good.....

    Mahi-Mahi Platter Popcorn Shrimp Platter

    First time having crab claws and they were to die for! They had just the right amount of Cajun seasoning paired with their house aioli and oh my God amazing! I had fried mahi-mahi and popcorn shrimp - equally as delectable! This place is a must if you're ever in Montgomery!

    Went to the seafood bistro on a Sunday. I didn't know they closed at 4 and we arrived at 3:30. However we wouldn't have known they were about to close because service was still quick and friendly. I ordered the crawfish and gator with the Cajun potatoes and my husband ordered the 1/2 lbs shrimp boil bag. My food tasted like it was fried a little to hard but still tasted very good. The potatoes were amazing. There was also a lot of food. Too much to eat. I ended up needing a Togo box. My husband loved his. He said next time he is getting the pound it was so good. As I said before they were about to close when another family came in 10 min to 4. They were still greeted politely and seated. Over all the only complaint I had was the Cajun wasn't spicy enough and the cocktail sauce tasted like ketchup. Regardless we will be going back.

    Snow Crab Boilbag (1 lb.)
    Aalyiah J.

    The restaurant was nice and clean. This was my first time eating here. My waitress was great. Now to my food. I ordered the pound of snow crab and it came with corn and sausage (I'm not a fan of potatoes). Everything was good, however I wasn't pleased with the portion of crab. Idk about you but I don't think 2 clusters equals a pound and I buy snow crab legs quite often.

    Shrimp & Grits

    Found this place on Yelp. Probably the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. The blackened shrimp were most excellent. Their version of beignets are pretty tasty as well! I'll be back...

    Shrimp Boilbag
    Jackie M.

    We were going through Montgomery and stopped at this little spot, so glad we did. Our party of four ordered the following: Shrimp Boilbag, gumbo, crawfish poboy, popcorn shrimp, and snow crab leg boilbag. It was all delicious. Wished I had gotten some gumbo to go! This is a definite stop you can't miss. Also food came quickly and the owner was super nice.

    Service is trash, hire more people or something can't even place a damn order without waiting 20-30 minutes that's unacceptable.

    Wintzell's Oyster House - Shrimp sampler platter

    Wintzell's Oyster House

    One word: YUMMY!!…read more Had the oysters sampler, hush puppy's and the crab claw 50/50 basket. Everything was so tasty and perfectly seasoned!! The service was nice, we had jasmine and she was on top of things. The restaurant stayed busy but the turnover was quick. It was a very chill vibe inside the restaurant.

    So disappointed - had great expectations after having visited the Wintzell's down on the coast…read more Had 5:30pm reservations. Got there at 5:25pm and there were at least 15 people at the hostess stand. Hostess seemed lost....would struggle to get the ext person seated and didn't ask if anyone had reservations until about 5:40pm. When she did about 12 people raised their hands....we all had 5:30pm ones. Got seated around 5:45pm; waitress was prompt and friendly - she was the only highlight. Got our appetizer with our dinner that came out at three different moments about 10min apart. We didn't get our food until about 6:45pm....horribly long wait. Good was not very good; certainly not worth what we paid. My chicken bienville was tasteless and the chicken tough and chewy. The side of fried okra and sweet potato fries were good though! His and had a shrimp poboy with rock hard bread and what looked like frozen shrimp heated up. Definitely will not be back; there are too many other places in downtown Montgomery to try!
