    Cajun & Garlic Butter Crawfish
    Amie N.

    My family and I went to this place through the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. Much appreciation towards the staff member who single handedly greeted and bussed all of the tables while taking orders both in-person and on the phone the entire time! Foodwise, we opted for 5lbs of the garlic butter & Cajun crawfish which came with 3 potatoes and 2 corns. Added 2 sausages which I personally didn't have but parents did approve. My friend also said the house sauce (WhoDat) was also very good if you like a little more lemon in your flavor. The flavor of the crawfish was spot-on, with a few odd tasting ones here and there but not enough to ruin the experience. Shells were soft and easy to crack this time in the season which allowed us to get every last bit. The only other thing we ate was the fried butterfly shrimp which was also good, I definitely want to try more of their fried foods next time around or even during off-season. Bonus points is that this place is BYOB. Location-wise, this place isn't too far from more well-known spots like LTK. Highly recommend to try this place out when you get the chance and support another local business that gives great service :)

    It's more like a 3.7 because there were negatives and positives: Positives: service was good and waitresses were polite and accommodating; fried shrimp was very good; who dat box was a lot of food and was mostly tasty. Boiled potatoes were good. You can pay with your phone. Negatives/things that could easily be improved: fried oysters were overcooked; rice was a bit mushy; gumbo was good but had to be doctored up with hot sauce, s&p; fries were just mid; onions strings were pointless; can only sub fries for rice. I thought the who dat sauce was greasy, but my husband enjoyed it, so it's a preference. The tables were a little greasy/sticky. Overall, it was typical Cajun Viet; it's not Nola Cajun, so there were many other viet dishes there as well. The prices were very reasonable, especially in this economy. I would go again for the gumbo and shrimp; we still want to try their crawfish.

    Bread that came with crawfish etouffe'
    Mike M.

    I wanted to like this place if for no other reason, its name. Unfortunately it didn't work out. My first visit was to try the shrimp po boy w/fries for about $13. Price wise, no complaints. Soft drink options here are bottled only and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. The Po boy was served on a hot dog style baguette with fried shrimp, dressed and a sauce drizzled over the shrimp. Taste wise it was a little disappointing. I didn't like the drizzled sauce taste and would have preferred real French bread. Nothing stood out on the sandwich. The fries were barely warm and the onion straws weren't good. I gave this meal a 2. I wouldn't order it again. I decided to give WhoDat another chance and returned a couple of weeks later for the crawfish etouffe for $13. Again, a reasonable price and this meal took about 15 minutes to arrive and contained 2 small slices of bread. Again, I didn't like the taste of this dish. The cream sauce in the etouffe did not appeal to me. I decided that I wouldn't order it again (2). Another negative to this restaurant is that it is a table service eatery but really should be counter service instead. The tip raises the cost of eating here and is unnecessary.

    I decided to give this place a try and I am so glad that i did. Such a hidden gem. Very reasonable price and generous amount. Taste is amazing. I will be back to try more items on the menu.

    Such an underrated place! I got 6 lbs of crawfish priced at $7.99/lb and they had a special of buy 5, get 1 free. It also came with 3 potatoes and 2 corn. The who dat sauce was delicious and the crawfish was meaty and a good size. The boudin balls were also super good. The restaurant itself is super clean and service was great. I'll definitely be coming back!

    5 pounds crawfish with garlic butter/cajun sauce
    Matt B.

    Well, shit. Went back in to grab some more of that tasty crawfish we enjoyed on our last visit. Apparently, they stopped making the good stuff and replaced it with some that was either frozen or previously cooked. No amount of spice, butter, and garlic can mask the stale flavor and spongy texture of old crawfish. I apologize to any of you who were led astray by my previous review.

    Food was made fresh and served hot. They were very attentive. Food was tasty. I like that they peeled the shrimp. Generous portions. If the potatoes were smaller, I think the seasoning would have penetrated throughout the potato more. Who Dat sauce was yummy.

    Sausage red beans and rice
    Bryan V.

    Always nice to see more Viet Cajun restaurants open up on this side of town. They had a nice buy 5 lbs of crawfish and get 1 free special going on so I opted for that. They have three flavors for crawfish but you can actually mix two of them, so I tried the Cajun + garlic butter combo. I also sampled their house "WhoDat" sauce and I thought that was delicious! It's like a combination of lemon pepper and garlic butter, and I wish I had gone with that sauce option instead. The Cajun garlic butter was still good though. The crawfish was cooked well and a decent size. I wish the potatoes and corn were mixed in with crawfish though instead of being served on the side. The fried catfish here is also quite flavorful and moist. On a separate occasion, I tried their sausage, red beans, and rice, and I enjoyed that as well. Very delicious Cajun flavors. My only critic is that I wish they used an actual plate/bowl for the rice instead of a takeout box, seems a bit wasteful. Overall, I definitely need to come back and try their seafood with their signature house sauce!

    The big who dat box and crawfish is super good and super fire!! Delicious!! The flavors a through the roof!! The staff is super nice

    The food is absolutely amazing!!! The loaded who day box is out of this world and the crawfish and crabs are super good!! The boy cashier is awesome as well!! I highly recommend this seafood place 10/10

    Although it does have order at the counter service with available tables, I recommend it for quick, quality carry-out at affordable prices.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

When we arrived, the host let us choose where we wanted to sit. I originally spotted a cozy booth by the window, but since we were asked if we'd like to sit where we could watch the TV during the Cup match, we opted for one of the high-top tables instead. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake because there isn't any lighting at the high tables. We could barely see our food. Adding pendant or drop-down lighting above those tables would make a huge difference. If you plan to visit, I'd recommend requesting a regular table or booth for better lighting. The menu is definitely unique, though I found it somewhat limited compared to other seafood restaurants.To start, I ordered the roasted oysters while my friend had a dozen raw oysters with all the traditional fixings. The roasted oysters were delicious, but there was so much topping that it almost took the shine away from the oysters themselves. Next time, I'd ask for lighter toppings and no scallions. For my entrée, I had the Halfshell Grilled Redfish. The fish itself was cooked beautifully--moist, flaky, and perfectly prepared. The only downside was the chermoula, which leaned far too heavily on the citrus. The lemon flavor completely overpowered the fish. As my side, I ordered the Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo. Unfortunately, it had a distinct burnt taste, which made it seem like the roux had been overcooked. A good gumbo should have a deep, rich flavor, but this one was overshadowed by that burnt note. My friend ordered the Jerk Fish Collars, and we both agreed they would have been much better if the fish had been marinated to allow the jerk seasoning to really penetrate. I also ordered a Lemon Drop Martini, and I have to admit I was surprised when it arrived in such a tiny martini glass, especially considering the price. Overall, the quality of the seafood is evident, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I think a few adjustments to the lighting, better balance in some of the flavors, and more attention to details like the gumbo and cocktail portions would elevate the experience even further. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu and hope for a more polished experience next time.

The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
