Well one person ordered shrimp and grits .. was asked small or large. Small turned out to be a tiny cup with zero shrimp- just flavorless grits. That is all she received. Was asked about salad, she ordered house with golden Italian ... no salad came. (Turned out it didn't come with the grits . The server was brand new, very nice, learning. But my guest for dinner basically had nothing to eat. I ordered grilled oysters (after seeing the guys behind me- his looked great! $19.95 two of the 12 had NO oyster at all. 8 had small bits oyster, 2 were actually oysters. The oysters come with bread. The server who brought the food dropped mine, laughed, then never replaced it. We complained about the grits before the bill came. They charged us $3 for the uneaten cup... Paying more than $100 is nothing for 4 people to eat out. But when 2 leave after having basically no food, it's pretty bad. A manager should have checked on us given the situation. We don't make a fuss or send food back. We just won't return.

The service was excellent, and the food was decent. I ordered the voodoo burger while my partner chose the po'boy sandwich. Both dishes were satisfactory and served their purpose after a long day of traveling, but we weren't especially impressed. The burger was average, and the fries didn’t have the crunchiness I expected. Each of our meals was around $11. However, we did enjoy some fried oysters as an appetizer, which were quite tasty!

Was very pleased with the Zombie burger. It sports some jalapeño pimento cheese, fried pickles, and red pepper jelly all atop a huge 1/2 pound patty. The patty feels as though it 's been bulked up with something like breadcrumbs though. Otherwise, a great flavor combination. The Jazz wrap is also quite tasty, particularly with the fried shrimp option. They were very plump and cooked well. The gator bites are served with a Cajun ranch that is just the right balance of creamy and spicy. Service was rough on this particular visit, but, since it was Sunday, I assume they were short staffed and the crowd was overwhelming. It seemed to be an all hands on deck effort though. It 's nice to have an option in Easley that is not a chain or a meat and three . The decor is fabulous and exceeded any expectations I had for a New Orleans inspired theme.

If there's one silver lining to come from Covid, it's definitely this. Since reopening many months ago, their service and food have been outstanding, which is why I'm updating my review. The staff is attentive, friendly, and really makes you feel at home. The cooks are doing a fantastic job, and any minor issues are quickly addressed. Great job, Voodoo! The steak is amazing, the French Quarter fries are fantastic, and bartender Amber is truly exceptional!

There’s a large back area and an upstairs that you wouldn't even suspect from viewing the exterior. The kitchen is located downstairs, and they use a quirky coffin dumbwaiter to send the food up—it's quite charming. During both of my visits, we hung out at the upstairs bar, and the place was buzzing with activity. They have a solid selection of beers, and I also enjoyed some of their signature cocktails. I highly recommend the Zombie burger, topped with sweet pepper jelly—it's fantastic! Pair it with sweet potato fries and their Cajun Ranch sauce—definitely a must-try!
