Laid back environment. Presentation is little messy but the food is delicious! Don 't wear your favorite outfit 'cuz odds are your 're guna get a little on ya... Prices are fair. Spices are great. Seafood bags are very good. Can 't wait until they get a liquor license because the only thing this place is missing is a great cocktail with your food. Definitely comin ' back!

Decided to try a new place here in down. Place is small. Seated about 40 people. We ordered the Cajun shrimps and Cajun spiced mussels. Both were delicious. Beer was cold and the servicer was attentive. We will go back. I want to try the shrimp and grits.

I found this restaurant to be a fantastic local gem. I was initially hesitant about trying seafood in the Midwest, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. I ordered shrimp, while others in my group enjoyed crawfish, fried oysters, and shrimp and grits. The quality of the food here was on par with what I've had in the southern states. I highly recommend supporting this local business.

This is the second time in two weeks and was impressed yet again!!! My hubby and I decided to try something different and had the shrimp basket for an appetizer to share. Get the garlic fries!!! Soooo good and worth it! The shrimp had just the right amount of breading and cooked beautifully. My entree was Crawfish étouffée and I have said before and I will say it again. One bite and I literally travelled back to the French Quarter in Nola. It was rich in flavor and full of tender crawfish tails. You will not be dissatisfied! My hubby got the house steak which was cooked perfectly with homemade mash potatoes. When a restaurant can cook both steak and seafood perfectly, you know you have a winner! I think the Salmon will be next!
