My food was delicious and fresh. If you are in a hurry, you might want to call your order in before you go. It rained today so we sat inside. Inside the largest table would seat four. I only say this because if you have a large group, you may want to do the pickup window and take it home. They do have outdoor seating but the weather wasn't ideal for that the day we were there.

I truly can’t explain just how good this place is! As soon as we walked in the sweet girl at the register was very quick to help us figure out the menu / seasonings / butter, and etc. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to handle the Cajun so I was asking her questions, and she encouraged me to try it and said she thought I’d for sure be able to handle it. (Great news - she was right!) I’m a very white person that can’t handle spice 😂 so take it from me, the Cajun IS FANTASTIC and I highly recommend it! I got Cajun on all of my stuff, and my husband got Cajun on all of his stuff except the lobster tail. He got lemon & pepper on the lobster tail and it was incredible. As for their catfish, it was some of the best catfish I’ve ever had and I will DEFINITELY be coming back. 10/10 they’re incredi

It's just so good!! The gumbo, the fried shrimp and chicken pasta, and the catfish it's all 🔥🔥!! It's always busy (PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY OPEN THURSDAY-SUNDAY), which by the way please reconsider because we waited from Sunday until Thursday again lol. It's consistent and the GUMBO PHENOMENAL AND ITS 14.99 and you get a crab leg there is a hidden crableg at the bottom so it's basically like a SEAFOOD TREASURE HUNT!! BOMB 10 OUT OF 10

★★★★☆ 4.0 Julie Neidholdt · Oct 2025

This is a small restaurant so it can fill up quickly. There is a little patio area outside for seating too. Tables of 4 & 2 & they ask that you don't move tables so its best for very small groups. All orders are done at the counter so would recommend looking up the menu ahead of time. The food was good authentic Cajun & they have several different butter sauces to choose from if your meal has that. Spicy, garlic & herb etc. Catfish is their fish of choice & the have lobster too. Prices aren't bad & serving sizes are generous.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chelsey B · Jun 2025

I have been so EXCITED to try this place! And we were NOT disappointed! We ate inside and it felt really nice, the staff was very friendly and even noticed my husband's veteran hat and gave him a discount for his service. We thought that was above and beyond. I got the cajun butter with my crab and shrimp special. He got the fried fish and shrimp. It was all AMAZING 👏 🤩 😍 They gave me tools for the crab without having to ask, and checked on is often as well. 9/10 would come back again! The only small gripe is the plastic silverware
