★★★★☆ 4.0 Jill Pate · Apr 2022

Food was great. Had gumbo, shrimp basket, salad, seafood platter. The fried grouper was excellent. Nice people. Server was prompt and checked on us 3 times. We arrived around 6PM on a Friday night and wait for a table wasn't bad for us but it soon became very crowded with people standing. It was about 45 minutes to get food once ordered but they were busy. It's a small place with a bar and an outside eating area but it was too cold for outside (but some were out there :). Reasonably priced. Definitely recommend because the food was great but maybe next time we'll do a late afternoon dinner before the rush :).

I will be back..... Fresh and hot. Not very spicy so I loved that. Couldn't find meat in the gumbo, so I'll ask them next time to stir that pot and get me the good stuff. 🤤 Staff was super sweet and I loved the outdoor seating. Best frozen margarita ever and I just got back from Mexico.

Passing through-thought I would try it. Was greeted with fast friendly service. Menu prices were very reasonable but I wanted raw oysters and so paid market price. Would eat there again.

This place was highly recommended, but our experience was horrible. The hood went out and we gave grace for the kitchen. However, the food took way too long, three of our five items were overcooked, and one meal came out with the wrong entree. Grilled fish so overcooked our guest had to use his knife to cut it! With all of that we walked away paying over $104.00. No discount or consideration for the wrong meal that had to be taken to go because everyone else was done.
