Had been craving a seafood boil for a while and really wanted to swing by this restaurant since it had been a long time that I hadn’t visited. It used to be excellent so I had big expectations. Sadly it was very disappointing. This place has gone downhill. It is dirty. It is warm. It is unorganized. It is crowded and loud. The floors were sticky. There was all kinds of unorganized chaos. Thru our visit we saw and heard kids being loud, crying and the staff said nothing to the parents despite of how uncomfortable it obviously was to everyone around., the worse one was a family that sat next to us and their kid had his iPad in full volume….

Every Tuesday shrimp cocktail is $5.00. Been coming to this establishment since 2008.

The gumbo was my favorite of our meal (also got fried shrimp and chicken tenders for kid). Hush puppies were also great and I don't usually care for hush puppies. If you go on a Friday night, be ready to wait, but food comes out quick once ordered.

10/10 recommend! They know how to boil crawfish! Nothing seems to be frozen, we sat at the bar and saw the kitchen preparing all of the boiled seafood- crabs, shrimp, crawfish and they are alive when cooked! I am from Louisiana and I don’t go to very many Cajun seafood places here in Dallas because there are a lot of imposters- this feels authentic, order at the counter, picnic tables everywhere outside, huge patio.. skip the line and sit at the bar and order directly from the staff!
