The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the fried fish and shrimp, and the prices were very reasonable. The service was also impressive—our waiter was attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Our appetizer was delightful, and our dinner was enjoyable as well. The service was excellent. The Red Beans and Rice were outstanding. Our server, Tatum, was very friendly.

Had high hopes for this place. The menu online looked amazing. We went tonight for my birthday because I wanted crab. I got the Crab claws and crab bites as my meal. I told our waitress I wanted them boiled plain with a side of melted butter. I got them smothered in cajun seasoning sauce and no butter. The waitress was so busy fratenizing with the staff she never came back over to ask how everything was. When she did come back we weren't anywhere near done eating and she asked if we wanted dessert and after we said no she took off to hang with the staff again before we could say anything else. When she came back she dropped the bill half way on my hand and the other half in water and walked away. We had to ask for to go containers, still leaving the untouched $18.99 crab claws still sitting on the plate that she could clearly see but acted too busy to be bothered with her mistake. My daughter got the burger and asked for cheese fries as her side. She was brought a big appetizer plate of cheese fries and also had them next to her hamburger. They were good tho. My son got the French dip sandwich that he only took one bite out of and didn't like but my husband thought it was good. Needless to say, we will not be going back. $130 lesson. I'm sure other food is good but when I go out I want good seafood bc my family doesn't eat it so we don't make it at home.

The food is a little expensive but understandable. Love the ambience. Definitely take the spiced rice as your side rather than plain white rice and their crab bites is delicious.
