Ok, looking for something just Louisiana,,, we'll we found it!! Absolutely the best. The food was amazing! The onions ring, man so good! Fried shrimp and oysters make you wanna slap your momma... hehehe (just not mine lol) Leah was our waitress. She made the meal PERFECT! What great service and personality! We were passing through but we WILL be back. This is our place when we pass this way again, which we do a lot.
Very homey atmosphere, definition of southern. The food was amazing, I would recommend the Gumbolaya, it was rich and had good heat. Etouffee was also good, very buttery, I would add Tony's.
We were greeted and seated in little to no time around 4:30-5:00 on a weekend. I ordered stuffed catfished and onion rings, and both were phenomenal! Our waitress was the best— very attentive to our needs, friendly, and knowledgeable! We were very pleased with our experience! Atmosphere was great— dress up or come in shorts or blue jeans! They also have pick up and delivery for locals, plus fresh and frozen food to reheat or cook at home- great entrees and desserts!
If you're looking for healthy options this isn't your spot. We started with seafood gumbo and cheese sticks. The gumbo was mostly roux and rice. The cheese sticks were good, although I'd prefer to have marinara as an option for dipping instead of just ranch. We got the combo with fish and shrimp with onion rings. This had decent portions and and the rings were good. It did come with a side salad which was a very light portion.
Some of the best, if not the best, Cajun food I've ever had. Started with the fried pickles and the wife had a salad. Both excellent. I had the stuffed catfish covered with Crawfish Etouffe and a side of jambalaya. Sooooo good! The little lady had a muffaletta and it was badass as well. Highly recommended. Server Cameron was fantastic as well. Cant wait to go back.
