★★★★★ 5.0 Bob Scandrol · Jan 2026

Definitely the best tasting Cajun food I have had. I still have yet to go to New Orleans so I cant compare it to the real thing but the food we ordered was very good. We ordered the seafood jambalaya, catfish and alligator jambalaya, and the blackened catfish. I also ordered a cup of gumbo. Everything was excellent. The gumbo was amazing. The server was great. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. I will definitely go back here when I visit Delaware again. It was a little expensive but it was worth it. I wish there was a Cajun restaurant this good near me.

I started with a French Kiss Martini, which was very sweet and tasted heavily of pineapple juice—almost too much so for my liking. The crawfish bisque was very flavorful; possibly a little over-seasoned, but still enjoyable. The bread with the butter sauce was pretty tasty and a nice touch. For my entrée, I had two blackened crab cakes, which unfortunately tasted undercooked with a mushy texture and were also over-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were very creamy but again, heavily seasoned. The hush puppies had a dusty, off texture and were over-seasoned as well, topped with an equally over-seasoned sauce. My date ordered the catfish, which he said was tasty but also over-seasoned. He had the same issue with the mashed potatoes and hush puppies. That said, the atmosphere was beautiful—ver

First time here. Great decorations for Halloween. 5 minute wait to be seated despite not being crowded. Come to find out only 1 server on duty. I would have given 5 stars all the way across the board except for this. The food was excellent and our server tried her best to wait on all the tables. I have been wanting to come here for years and the food did not disappoint

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Beverly Rice · Aug 2025

Our waitress was rude from the moment we walked in the door. I had reservations, she said, "oh really"? Looked at the screen and said you can sit here. It took a long time for her to take our order, and it took even longer for it to come out. I don't mind waiting for my food if it's cooked fresh. When our order came out, the scallops were cold. It took so long for us to let the person who bought out the food to acknowledge us, then she just told our unpleasant waitress, who took long to come to table. She did apologize, then rolled her eyes. We had to wait another 20 minutes longer for the food. It came out not piping hot, but better. Anytime the waitstaff can just carry your food out without a towel or mitt, it's not going to be hot enough for me. The apple walnut salad was good until I g

★★★★★ 5.0 Neysha Calderon · Sep 2025

Decided on this restaurant thanks to my coworkers recommendation. It was located in this very cute town square, plenty of street parking. The restaurant was very beautiful with a French quarter theme throughout and it also has bar seating as an option. We were sat right away and the service staff were quick. The food was AMAZING 👏 10/10!!! Definitely recommend you check it out, I myself cant wait to go back and try something new from their menu.
