On the positive side, our server, Stella, was exceptionally attentive and considerate. The potatoes and corn were delicious, and the sauce had a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. The boiled shrimp was seasoned to perfection—absolutely amazing! I did wish for some clarified butter, though. We ordered 3 pounds of crawfish, and that dish was very well received. The fries were thick and well-seasoned, and they were truly delicious! The Dr. Pepper was just okay, but the water tasted fantastic! We will definitely come back to try more items from the menu.

Absolutely not! I had to send them back. They had great flavor, but they were incredibly chewy—almost like chewing gum—and impossible to swallow! The waiter suggested it might have been a bad batch from New York. On the other hand, the gator bites were fantastic! They were fresh, hot, bursting with flavor, and served in a generous portion. Ralph Kacoos and Razoos can’t even compare. The Ragin Cajun burger was pretty good as well!

My Cajun partner usually doesn't eat at Cajun restaurants outside of Louisiana, but we were both pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding, the drinks were fantastic, and the food was amazing! They had live music and heated tables on the patio. We will definitely return!

The atmosphere is stunning, and it has quickly become my favorite Cajun kitchen on this side of Texas, no contest.
