Amazing!!! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Everything was made fresh and hot! I asked her what was good and she said “EVERYTHING!” and she was right! We got the fried chicken plate! Will definitely be back. Thank you!!! 10/10

First it took a whole 45 minutes for the food to come out. Then the food turned out bad, the fries tasted and looked like they were cooked in very old oil, as well as the fish too, the only good things were the sauce, and drinks. Definitely don’t recommend this place. We will not be eating here again.

The gumbo was fire

It was closed down

Ordered 4 large containers of gumbo on new years day. The gumbo was horrible and watered down. Little or no shirmp and tiny sticks crab legs minimal. My guests and myself were very disappointed. Not good for business. At $30 a pop I expected better quality. Super disappointed.

Jambalaya is the only item that is good.
Fried chicken had no flavor, corn bread was hard and had no flavor, peach cobbler was made with canned peaches and the fried pickles were salted.

Ordered from 6148 Long Beach Blvd, CA 90805

Maybe this place is hit or miss? I’m very disappointed. Spent $80 on a catfish dinner, fried pickles and a large container of gumbo. Fish and pickles tasted like they were fried in very dirty oil, Mac and cheese had no salt, no flavor in the greens. I kid you not, the cornbread was the driest worst tasting cornbread I have ever had from a restaurant. The entire catfish dinner was a waste of money along with the fried pickles. I tried to continue eating them but the grease was making my stomach upset.The gumbo taste pretty good to me, but considering that’s the only thing I was able to eat and of the 3 items I ordered, I would not recommend. I really wanted to like this place.
