We had the alligator bites, the gumbo, the jambalaya, the red beans and rice, the grilled shrimp, the catfish, the bananas foster and the bread pudding. And everything was top notch!!! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. The hostess was extremely warm and welcoming. I cannot wait to go back here again. Highly recommend!!

Food was good. Really liked the alligator bites. Was disappointed I couldn't get shrimp instead of ham in the jambalaya. Got the gumbo instead. Was mainly rice with couple pieces of sausage and very little chicken. Mainly soup. Good sweet tea.

My server Caitlyn was very sweet and attentive it wasn’t busy at lunchtime but the food was very good. Prices are reasonable! Stop by and ask for Caitlyn you won’t regret it.

My burger was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The fried okra was also perfectly prepared, with just the right amount of crispiness to the outer coating. The Moscow mule was refreshing. The Big Easy has always been one of my favorite places in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed this visit and look forward to coming back.

As a Louisiana native, I can confidently say that the gumbo at this restaurant is not authentic. The roux was poorly made, with chunks of flour still present.

Both the jambalaya and the red beans and rice fell short and required considerable improvement. We selected this restaurant based on our previous experience with the gator bites, which were outstanding. Despite the lackluster food, we did enjoy the outdoor patio and found our server to be very friendly. However, if you're seeking true Cajun cuisine, I wouldn't recommend this place.
