This is an amazing place. You are transported back to an old seafood shack on the roadside. Service was great. Food was incredible. The must try is the shrimp and grits. The approach is having the grits more dense to hold shape. The cream sauce ofTasso, cajun spice, and peppers is poured into the bowl and the shrimp are added. Dont let the portion fool you, it is alot offood. We also had the grilled oysters. They add spice so the oysters cook and the necture is flavored. Really good. Nachosserving is enough for two people. Worth the stop

The service was impeccable: I think her name was Angela She provided excellent suggestions and descriptions of menu items. Oh my! The food! Everything was DELICIOUS! The Italian spinach and the loaded baked potato were definitely on point. No need to saythe fish was fantastic but it was. Will definitely return.

Amazing experience! Easy Parking, not a long wait, fast service, and delicious food! I got the half shell combo. The crab cake was delicious and the blackened catfish was phenomenal! Everything was cooked perfectly! My husband got the Fat Boy Po-boy andthe oysters on the sandwich melted in your mouth! The lobster bruschetta was so so good! Overall outstanding!

Loved the brunch. It was a pleasant surprise. Had the Bourbon Street Crepe which was loaded with fried oysters. Delish! My family enjoyed a Salmon/Bacon Hash. They also gave a thumbs up. Customer service was on point- knowledgeable fun and quirky-just ask for Laura!

Love the Voodoo Salmon! It is consistently great! I can never talk myself into trying any other entree. Tried bisque and fried mushrooms before. Not as great but still edible. Place was busy, but service was good. Experiences definitely worth comingback!
