This place was amazing. We could smell the food from down the street, and man, was it worth it! I tried the fish, shrimp, and crab cakes with fried okra.

Stopped in for dinner. Was immediately greeted and sat by our friendly waitress. I got fried shrimp and oysters and added a crab cake. Shrimp was hand battered and cooked perfectly. Oysters were good. The crab cake had visible crab in it, not just breading. The red beans and rice were so good we ended up getting an extra to go. Same with the hush puppies. He got fried fish and shrimp. The catfish was clean and delicious. The coleslaw was creamy and crisp. Great service. Super clean restaurant. Would definitely go back.

THE BEST grilled fish i have ever had! This place is a cajun-inspired restaurant, but it's not the over-seasoned, too spicy food in so many Cajun places. Very favorable! They make their own seasonings, too

Wish I'd found this place sooner. Their fish and shrimp knock it out of the park, as does the fried okra. And everything is served hot... something of a rarity these days. We live just over an hour away, and we'll definitely be coming back for more.

We stopped in here for lunch recently and we're blown away with their delicious fresh food! The fried fish, shrimp, and chicken were perfection! The gumbo and red beans and rice were very good (I've lived in NOLA and it took me back). Don't think about it, just go here. I'm plotting a road trip to eat here again!
