Our waitress was awesome! Her sunny disposition brightened up our day. The food was outstanding and very flavorful. We will definitely be visiting again!!

We dined twice. Both of the time it felt busy, chaotic, noisy and overcrowded. The foods are okay but menu is short with less variety dish. If you want a place to bit relax, unwind and enjoy your food with your loved one this might not the place to be. Especially, during our last visit the server seemed overworked and behaved robotic. Kept asking too many times within the very short time we were at that table (about 30 minutes) whether we need anything else repeatedly that we were forced to think that they want us to leave. So, we packed our foods and left on a hurry. Though we ordered our appetizer first, it came later after our main course. Positive side was that the appetizer Hot Crab and Shrimp dip was delicious.

We were a party of 12. Most of our orders were wrong. Wrong sides etc. Food was delivered cold. My friend didn’t receive her meal until most of us were done eating. I was a server for many years. I blame the server for these issues. As for the cooks they threw the food on the plate in a sloppy manner. If I’m in the area I’ll definitely skip coming here again.

Wish we had ordered something else. Our meal looked great, but the shrimp, crawfish, and fried fish tasted old. 😩 Not the best birthday dinner.

I stop by FD’s these days quite a bit for my lunch break and while I initially came for the deviled eggs and sweet potato casserole, I keep coming back because the service is phenomenal and the food is amazing!! Rachel especially is such a great member of their staff and always takes care of me!

I’ll start by saying that my family has been coming to FD’s for at least the last 6 years. For the most part, most of their food is always on point. My personal favorite is the spinach dip pasta and the chicken and walnut salad - truly to die for. We have, however, noticed a common trend with their tortilla chips. We often order the Triple dip appetizer (which the actual dips are also super delicious). The dips are served with tortilla chips which oftentimes are stale. It has happened numerous times throughout our visits in the last few years. The chips are truly our only complaint from this spot but it feels like a common theme at this point. In the past we would request the chip basket be switched out but they were typically replaced with a new basket that tasted similar. We had taken a break from ordering this appetizer (for the same reason) but visited today and decided to give it a shot, only to have the same fate we’ve had in the past. Other than that, this place has other delicious dishes and great service.

Melinda was wonderful. Food is very good and reasonably priced. Good place for family or date night.

Haven’t been here in like 4 years, but the food quality and prices haven’t changed much. Great place for a relatively cheap meal that feels somewhat fancy. 🎩
