This place is wonderful. I would say a hidden gem but it's just right on the edge of a main road. More people should experience this restaurant/bar. The food is so delicious and great service. Shout-out to Megan who gave perfect service. There is plenty to choose from on their menu and it has a Cajun flair. The fried crawfish, gumbo soup and, po-boy sandwich were standout items. I'm certain we will be back to try more yummy options. The vibe is casual. It's perfect for lunch, dinner, or drinks with friends. If you enjoy flavorful food then you should definitely try this place you'll be glad you did.

The pulled pork nachos and catfish sandwich were great! Nice little place.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Antonio Miguel · Nov 2024

The Buffalo chicken nachos are extremely disappointing. There wasn't enough cheese to cover the chips. The only toppings available were cheese, Buffalo sauce, and chicken. There were no: olives, tomatoes, nor jalapeños. The steak and shrimp special was extremely disappointing. The quality of the steak was on par with a Denny's steak. The side of green beans arrived as everyone was done eating. The Ceaser Salad was made with ice berg lettuce instead of the traditional romaine lettuce. The salad was missing more than a few traditional items: croutons, parmesean cheese, and romaine lettuce. The spinach bacon salad was fantastic. The loaded baked potato was disappointing. It only had bacon. The cheese, butter, and sour cream were very sparse or completely absent. Service was rather slow and

My first time trying this place and the last. I felt so ripped off picking up my order and bringing it home to find the pathetic mediocre food portions. The food is way too over priced. Based off the quality also portions of the food that me and my family ordered. I payed nearly $90. I was still hungry after eating my small soggy salad and tiny cup of soup. We’re never coming back I regret giving this place a chance.

Great food. Pickle chips and the roumalade are worth it. Po Boy was adequately sloppy. Kids sliders were juicy. Battered fries are flavorful and crisp.
