Great food! I’ve been here several times during boating season including once for a 4th of July party. They have a huge dock which is nice for those with boats (I recommend reserving a space of any holiday weekends/summer weekends to make sure you have a space as it can get packed). Downstairs there’s seating, showers, bathrooms, and a pool. Upstairs there’s both an outdoor & indoor bar as well as outdoor patio and indoor seating. When it gets busy be prepared to wait for a spot as most people linger & drink. I love that there’s the outdoor bar so you can at least grab a drink while you wait. The food & drinks are responsibly priced. Service can vary as sometimes we have a waiter that’s on it and super fast & efficient and other times we aren’t checked on and have gone to the bar for mor
Beautiful location! Super sweet staff. Multiple bars-inside and out. My favorite appetizers are the fried shrimp and catfish fritters. The seafood ravioli is my favorite entree on the menu. I visit here often and overall, I always have a great time. Very causal and fun.
So good! Reminded me of many of the places I’ve eaten in Florida. Gulf oyster were delicious and tasted so fresh. I had the Shrimp Voodoo Po Boy. The bread was soft and the sauce was spicy but creamy. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. My husband had the Black Jack sandwich. The Mahi Mahi was well prepared and fresh. Rémoulade sauce added anextra touch. Service was good despite being very busy and understaffed.
I got the steak pontchartrain, and it was excellent! My husband got the fried shrimp and daughter got kids' (mahi) fish sticks. Both said their food was delicious as well. They don't advertise a kids menu, but they do have one - just ask the waitress. Our waitress was really good, despite being busy. I also got a mixed drink (Rudolph something) and chocolate bread pudding as part of a local event going on. Both were perfect! We will definitely return!
Great spot with a lively atmosphere and nice riverfront views. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared, especially the oysters. Service was friendly, though it could get a bit slow when busy. Overall, a fun place to enjoy seafood and drinks by the water.
