Customer Reviews
We arrived early dinner time about 430. Was fairly quiet and not too many customers yet. A few did come in after a bit. Service was friendly and maybe not the fastest, but we weren't in a hurry and was looking around the restaurant. It was our first visit to this one in our new town. Food was very good and hot. Drinks were good too; we tried the sliegh all day Rita. It was good.
Tried the new bayou bowl and it was fantastic. Bartender was personable and friendly as was the other 2 staff members I communicated with. Would definitely return to this location.
Worst experience ever took forever to get my food almost an hour my daughter was done eating about time my food came out. Several people got their food before I did and they showed up after me mind you I only order appetizer’s . Food was actually not even hot when I got it. There was a waiter that was stealing tips from vulnerable innocent older people. I witness it my self it was four older Caucasian I felt bad for them I brought it to the managers attention he did nothing about it except made excuses for the waiter the supposedly had been work there for over 10 years. I also saw him scam other customers. I’ve traveled all over and am ex military over I didnt know those for older people from a can of paint however I believe in doing the right thing I had to speak up the manager did not
You can get a 2 for $25 or $29 (or whatever) with 3 soft drinks, extra side of fries, and tip for about $45 - $50 total (as of summer 2024). Very reasonable. Will feed dad + 2 kids well! Please keep it going! Service is usually pretty good.
Ordered curbside to go online today (Saturday) at 11:15 am, my husband ordered the four cheese Mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders and I ordered some wings and asked for half sweet chili and half garlic Parmesan. My husband said his pasta was super watery and you can see in the image posted how sad my wings looked. They were dry, not sauced at all and I don't even know what the clear slices were on top but it wasn't cheese. Super disappointing, probably won't be back for a while.
