★★★☆☆ 3.0 TheFoodie · Mar 2026

The jalapeno cheese stuffed shrimp were delicious. Everything else was middle of the road. The seafood was slightly under salted for my taste. Service was ok from our server, could’ve been more inviting. The atmosphere also didn’t feel welcoming, more so from the guests. I’d return one day for live music and to try more options. Overall, it was decent.

I loved the cat but my guest was allergic. The views were beautiful. Our server Hailley was not welcoming. The owner and another server with beautiful locs made sure our visit was enjoyable. The food was fresh and delicious.

The breading on the shrimp, oysters was crispy and great flavor. Large shrimp, great cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. Good view of the river from deck which is built around trees. The unique corn ribs had good flavor. The deck and windows Need a good cleaning but the food is good.

A little hidden gem. I have to say that the Fried Catfish was so very tasty. Not dry and rubbery like some places I've had. Their Gumbo smelled Devine! The establishment was small but quaint. It felt comfortable. There is even outdoor seating available. It was very layed back and casual. The only issue I have is that the side of hushpuppies was 2 small Hush Puppies. I am not aure that is enough. Maybe like 5 or 2 bigger hush puppies. Oh and the staff is wonderful. Very helpful, very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients in each dish. They were very busy but our waitress never missed a beat. She constantly checked on our table of 10. Bravo 👏 We will be going back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chenee Coleman · Feb 2026

You don’t know what to expect coming here but I was pleasantly surprised! I love the vibe. Reminded me of being on a bayou! I can only imagine how much nice it would be in the summer when you’re able to sit outside on the marina. The oysters were delicious and very fresh. The seafood gumbo was flavorful as well. Service was great as well. I would definitely come back.
