Service is always fantastic ! Oysters are decent and oyster shooters ! Gumbo is not gumbo at all extremely thick like grits or mashed potato texture it you’re from the south do not order should probably be removed from menu but the etoufee is good and I like how you can control spice level !

My go to gumbo place… been coming here for years and never regretted it til last night… The price has doubled to $45 bucks and the portion size has gotten small like a bowl of cereal… I just couldn’t believe they charged so much now and yes I get inflation is hitting everything but how to do serve less but gumbo but double the price… so disappointed

Ask for butter? Twice …because you weren’t heard the first time? SECURITY. Let the wait staff know? SECURITY. I’ve been here over a handful of times tonight was a nightmare. Be careful with standing up for normal standards here. Trash service, even for take out. Just go to Vegas. The food isn’t even comparable

Good food, great service, a little pricey (solo for lunch); $60.00. Ordered the Pan Roast combo seafood (spicey #4 level), with side of dirty rice, a cup of Clam Chowder, and (2) 805 beers. Rolls also were served, very good. I tipped well (cash), because of great service!! I was staying in the Talking Stick Resort, so the atmosphere is okay and loud. I would eat there again.

It is okay. Probably will not be back but it was not bad. It is a Cajun version of comfort foods. Their Gumbo tastes like Cajun gravy and the seafood dip tastes like seafood nachos. Definitely interesting.
If you actually end up going here, a level two spice is probably perfect if you like a little bit of kick.

Small restaurant bar in the middle of Talking Stick Casino. Like 10 tables along with the bar. I wish the menu had more entrees. Got the Crawfish Etoufee and Fried catfish special. Both were really tasty. Good heat level at medium. Service was great. Refer this to people you know. That’s the only way I found out about this place. Going back soon to try the gumbo and appetizers.

Right there in the casino. It was smaller than I expected. I also didn't realize the seating was open to the casino floor and everyone walking by. Food and service was great, but noisy from the casino and no privacy.
March 11, 2025 (Time: 8pm)- Pricey and much overrated for what it is. We agree with Martha M review below. Cajun Cobb salad — shrimp were too cold. Should be warm. Shrimp were just short of frozen and chewy. Lettuce sucked. Salad was supposed to have bacon and we received grisly shredded parts of unsightly ham. Two other dishes MEH…..not impressed at all. Water came in plastic disposable cups?? Really? For a place where the least expensive appetizer is about $30 and high being $70. Finally, after waiting for our bill, I had to ask what happened to our waiter “Johnathon”. Another gentleman told us he was upstairs doing a report. Johnathon just disappeared and nobody took over to check on us our entire meal or refill our water, or ask about dessert. We have traveled and understand food and service. No tip was appropriate and we will NOT (I mean NEVER) be back. Just too many quality options in the area for this type of casino food and horrible casino service. For those that like it - you are easily impressed and likely intoxicated from the gaming floor. This is NOT a destination restaurant for the area. Repeat - NOT. Rather a hole in the casino wall. Johnathon - you are a smooth talker. All hat - no cattle. Clearly you know the management and are the tail wagging the dog.

We have been coming to OC for years. It’s one of our favorite PHX restaurants. Yesterday we came in for lunch. We noticed several empty tables but there was a waiting line. I could see that people were finished eating but sitting with dish waiting to be cleared. After about 15 minutes we were seated. We then noticed there wasn’t a Sous Chef. The chef was preparing serval meals but there was a back up of around 7 more meals to cook. I asked two staff members if they were short staffed. Both told me no. We ordered a Caesar salad with crab. It took approximately 30 minutes to get our salad. Thank goodness the quality of our salad was still spot on.

We have been coming here for several years and this is the first time that we have ever been so rushed and felt so unappreciated and unimportant. Just hurry in and hurry out. Take a number!!! Sad!!! No sense of humor with our server! No Smiles no eye contact! Really really un-welcoming. Not sure if it's under new management. They seem to be too busy to really care

I had the pan roast combo and key lime pie. All very good. I am not for too spicy and they had zero extra in mine and I really liked it. Key lime pie was pretty good too. Would go again
