First visit. Accidently went during happy hour and their 2-6 pm specials were awesome. The experience from start to finish was on point. Sat at the bar, started w beer specials and alligator bites, then on to shrimp po boys, the Cajun trio and ended up w beignets. So full and so good. The bartender was awesome and made the experience that much more worth coming back for!
This is great food. A friend and I had the Shrimp Wedge Salad. Very tasty salad and beautifully presented on the plate. The shrimps were well seasoned, the salad dressing was homemade and delicious. Excellent compliment of flavors. I highly recommend.
One of my favorite restaurants in town! The casual atmosphere is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the staff is always super friendly. The fried shrimp Po Boy has won me over in a heartbeat and I crave it weekly. The gumbo and jambalaya are fantastic too, and the bar never fails to make a delicious drink. Highly recommend!
Fairly new, so amazing Cajun restaurant in a spectacular environment! Outside of New Orleans, you cannot beat the quality of food AND drinks they have. My wife & I have traveled a bit for business, so we are foodies! AND, they have their own “haut sauce”! Must have! Oh, try the Bishwacker...
We decided to come here after passing by our last time at the factory. The atmosphere is fun and lively, but you can still enjoy your own conversations. The service was quick. We ordered and received our food in less than 15 mins. Watching other tables, it seems to be pretty consistent. Our waitress Courtney was super, super amazing! I got the shrimp and oyster po boy, it was insane. The bread was perfect, the seasoning great, and the shrimp and oysters were perfect!
Surf & Turf Po’Boy was quite possible the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Mix that with a great Hurricane cocktail plus very cheerful attentive bar service. Hands down going back!
We love coming here on date night. Sitting at the bar is the best - their bartenders are entertaining and engaging and they make some fantastic drinks!! Our faves are the roast beef poboy, gumbo and fries. The dessert martinis are delicious and the bushwacker is killer!
It's Cajun food and therefore heavy but delicious. I'm such a hushpuppy snob and theirs are amazing. I rarely have them so that in itself made the visit worth it! The blackened shrimp wedge salad was fabulous. Get the dressing on the side if you don't like a lot. Fabulous cocktails!
