Customer Reviews
Overall, a solid restaurant with great food items, but the costs don’t seem as reasonable for some compared to the others. Had the shrimp and crab etouffe, Cajun seafood pasta and the oysters. Etouffe was great, had a lot of shrimp and it was savory. The Parmesan crusted oysters were also presented nicely and tasted great. The seafood pasta had a large portion with delicious sauce, however, jumbo shrimp had the intense fishy aftertaste. Parking is easy across the street.
The food was amazing and the portion sizes were huge. The hush puppies were really good, just wish there was more crab in the hush puppy. The waitress, Stephanie, was very nice and even offered suggestions. I didn’t even know about this place and only selected it because of its name, my grandfather’s name was RT. Parking was a little funky, read the signs. They could use some renovations and bathroom updates. I would definitely recommend RT if you’re looking for something Creole.
This place is probably the closest you can get to real Louisiana cuisine if you’re craving it. The seafood pasta was loaded with fresh seafood, and the baked oysters were absolutely delicious! Finding a parking spot was pretty easy for us but i assume it could get difficult during dinner time.
The parking is kind of hard, either on the side streets and or across the street at the dollar store. The food was pretty good. I had a variety chosen from the menu. The restaurant has the ambience of being in Louisiana.
Food was excellent. I was in a party of ~19 people. Service was great except that I had to ask for water twice before I got it. And then I ordered a drink when I ordered food hoping that the drink would come first but it came out all at the same time (could be because we were a large group). I ordered the Death by Gumbo and it was excellent. A pretty big order that you could share or take it home. I also ordered the Shrimp and Crawfish Red Beans & Rice to go and it was delicious, on the milder side of seasoning. They packed it well so it wasn't soggy to eat the next day.
