Super friendly staff, our server was awesome! The Gumbo was delicious, the PoBoy was great the half and half fried oysters and shrimp were delicious. The portions were huge even if the shrimp was small.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris · Sep 2025

This place is close by the job and I wanted something different. I took an extra 15 minutes for lunch. Not a good place for a quick bite. But the food was delicious. I had the Bleu cheese crumble burger. One of the few places that offer this delicacy. Sweet tea was good, not great. Service was good. I highly recommend this spot if your in the area. Most of the time it is packed out or busy.
