We had a surprise birthday dinner for my sister here last night. It was 20 of us and everyone enjoyed it. We had a lot of good food and fun. They were very accommodating and Destiny and Grace were the best servers! They went above and beyond! It was so nice to be able to visit with everyone without loud music too.

Not only does this place have the best crawfish in town, they also have a lot of delicious other food options. The bartender/server Kelly is amazing as well, always very polite and smiling. She makes sure she takes good care of my family when we go to eat, we always request her every time!

Needed my crawfish fix on our way back from New Orleans and my wife found this in a Google search. Just happened to be an all you can eat night, wow! They were the best crawfish of this season, maybe ever. Their seasoning was on point. The crawfish were very large and nice and firm. This was definitely a find on our part. The service was very good and I will definitely be returning. Absolutely amazing food and also enjoyed the alligator bites and the fried green tomatoes.

The food here was fantastic. However, the service was pretty lackluster, and the condition of the actual restaurant was pretty horrid, with water leaking from the ceiling and a bucket underneath it to catch it. Our table was incredibly messy and not clean, given that the food was so good and the prices were really fair. I am still giving a 5-star review. We had the crawfish mac and cheese, which was huge, incredibly creamy, and rich, and two 1-pound orders of crawfish, which were great for 5 dollars, a pound is unbelievable. Two Gator po-boys which were really good, however, bread was very fragile. The boudin balls were fantastic, and the beignets for dessert were arguably the top three I ever had. This is a very divy, hole-in-the-wall joint, but with really good food options, specials, and prices. My suggestion to them would be an update, especially how it looked when we got there. Because your food is good enough that people will sit through it.
