User Reviews

The waitress and managers were very attentive to our needs in a incredibly busy environment. I was a little sad with the food I ordered. The grilled oysters were very blah and the cheese was not melted over the top. My steak was seasoned well but I ordered medium rare and received medium well. The potatoes that were served with them had way to much pepper in them. I will say the fresh vegetables were cooked and seasoned well. Very delightful. I will recommend this place as that day was the middle of the festival.

Really good fried fish, shrimp,and crawfish! Plate was big enough for 2 !!! Stop in have a cold drink and some great food!

A gem 💎 but be sure to arrive more than 30 minutes before closing as the kitchen closes down a bit early. The food is top of the top for a bar in a small community. Live music was surprisingly awesome for a small spot. But hey, it's The South so I should have expected hidden talent Serving staff was super and friendly. The atmosphere reminds me of Cheers but with a Texas / Louisiana twist. Check out all the shops nearby and the Church around the corner, oh and the gorgeous riverfront.

Nice ambiance as far as the setting goes. Food is sub-par. Pecan pie was THE BEST ITEM! Shrimp and corn bisque was too lumpy and too salty. Their fried fish has that fish fry gritty coating on it.

Food was really good. Had a new trainee serving, manager came by twice to check on us. We had snapper and catfish,both were cooked perfect! Portion size was excellent!

I came here with my church family. We were a group of about 50. My table was the 1st to place food orders. The entire group received & finished their food before mine & my daughter's was brought out, even after repeatedly asking multiple waitresses for our food & dessert. 10 minutes after getting our food, the waitress brought out the tickets. My daughter & I were first to receive tickets. I asked to speak to the manager to comp food I couldn't sit & enjoy with my group. A lady came out & I shared our experience with her. She looked me in my eye & said her kitchen manager told her everyone's food was brought out together. Before I could respond, everyone at my table spoke up for us, because she & her kitchen manager were lying. She took $4 off our fish. I sent my ticket back to be fixed again to comp the dessert I had less than 5 minutes to eat. Because of the above, and because of my daughter receiving dirty water with no ice, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANY ONE.

I had read some bad reviews on this restaurant but decided to take a chance and I'm so glad we did. The food was good, service even better! We enjoyed it so much that we came back with friends the next day. New ownership... give them a try!

This is a fantastic place to visit if you're visiting the town. The oysters are great, the poboys are great, appetizers are great, and drinks are great. The servers are awesome as well. Definitely my new go-to when I come to visit.
