This is not my favorite cajun place. The food here is kinda mid. Good portion size on the catfish though. Came hoping for hush puppies which I thought they sold that apparently are no longer on the menu. Service was excellent though. And got a really cute little free dessert (deep fried oreo and vanilla Ice cream scoop)

At no point did this restaurant bother to add in their Google website or anything of the sort that they would be closing down early. I think they should be more communicative I went all the way from Claremont to come down here to try this place out. Big mistake, won’t do that again because of their lack of proper communication. Avoid this place like the plague. They are clearly incompetent

I didn't give 0 because it is not an option! They brought half of the food and completely forgot about the other half.bwhen we asked the waitress was rude about it! All she said was .." I can take it away and you won't be charged" apparently they never did the other half of our order.. This is after a 45 minute wait. Half of our family was already eating. So we decided to get our other half after all. 5- 10 minutes later someone ask us it everything was ok. They had NOT put in the order!!! Waitress never apologized! Manager never acknowledged the mistake or apologize either. HORRIBLE service!!?? Can't rate the food cuz I never got to eat!

Excellent! Raw oysters are fantastic, including the lobster and green-lipped muscles!

The seafood bags are really fun but I have to say the garlic sauce is way more butter than garlic. The mussels were by far my favorite part compared to the shrimp, although honestly, my favorite dish here was the garlic bread! It was so delicious. The deep fried Oreos are free if you dine in but honestly I thought they were so gross because the Oreos get squishy in there! The service was nice but once you get your food you’re pretty much on your own because they don’t check back in on you.

Food is always good here. I usually get the headless shrimp stinking special spicy with corn potatoes and sausage. The spice level is always different, there’s times were is not spicy and there times were i can only eat a few shrimps at a time before i’m spiced out. It’s always good tho. the fries are good, the garlic cajun ones bring enough garlic to kill a vampire and the garlic bread doesn’t have enough garlic, still bomb tho. you always get a free deep fried oreo and ice cream when dining in. one thing to keep in mind is they close at 9pm but they do last call for kitchen at around 8pm.

Came here for dinner and had crawfish, shrimp and crab legs in their house seasoning. Everyone was great! Loved their spicy flavoring. Plenty of fresh limes for a bit if fresh flavor. As a bonus, fried orea and ice cream for dessert is included.
