Food was really good and priced affordably but you do plan to reserve the table through yelp, DO NOT leave the restaurant during your wait. Their waiting queue on yelp is totally incorrect. I was told that I was 8th, then 6th, then 4th in line, so I went to the store next door to sit while waiting (it was really crowded in the restaurant so I didnt want to sit there). After a whole hour of waiting, I came back to the restaurant to ask the manager (keep in mind that we were checking our place in the queue continously but never got moved up), they said that they already called my name and I wasnt there so they kicked me off the waitlist. If so, the waitlist on yelp is literally meaningless if the restaurant does not honor or update their status on Yelp despite opening the waitlist on there.

The server we had was good and the decor was cool. The food was horrible. Its clearly all frozen and not fresh at all. We had a big party so we tried almost everything on the menu. The fried corn on the cob was very old and stale I can't believe they even served it. The crab was not good at all. Even the super burrito was just ok. The food is very bland. I would never go back there and I would never recommend this place.

The food was all very, very good: mussels, gumbo, sandwiches (like Po'boys) with fried shrimp or similar, burritos, and various fried things (catfish and oyseters and shrimp). Everything was fresh and freshly cooked. We dined in with a party of 6. The service was almost comically bad, with pleasant servers who did not even bring paper plates or plastic knives and forks until asked several times. The mussels were brought in a big plastic bag with no bowl or plate, and the various dishes came out over a more than 20-minute period at a time when there were only a 2 or 3 small parties at other tables. If you don't mind cheerful but terrible service, this place has excellent food at a reasonable price. I owuld recommend take-out, but fried food is not great for take-out.

Food was amazing ! We had the summer special and it did not disappoint. Definitely reccomend the garlic noodles . Restaurant was so clean and servers are so attentive. I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

We ordered their king crab legs, shrimp and fresh crawfish ($2 extra for fresh crawfish vs frozen) combo with their combo sauce (Cajun, garlic butter and lemon pepper) and it was delicious.

Our first time here and we are very impressed with its ambiance and great customer service. Came here for taco tuesday, their tripa cooked crispy to perfection, and we also had a bucket with their lemon pepper sauce overall, 10/10 very satisfied 😌

They act like they enjoy serving you but I don’t think they do. Came in the other day and sat down for lunch and noticed that the lunch specials are smaller portions now less for the same price. The woman that helped me didn’t speak much English or know how to work the cash register when I paid so that’s interesting.

Service sucks i order online and paid and says pick up after 20 mins. and i got there in 25 minutes and my order was not ready. Been waiting and nobody even seem bothered that ive been waiting, i didnt get my order till after 30 mins been waiting there. I order crawfish and paid extra and they gave me frozen. They shouldnt have that option if they cant provide that.
We ordered the Cajun bag with shrimp, crabs and black and green mussels and it was amazing we had to order a second bag. Staff were very friendly and responsive.
I will definitely come back food was good and the service was good
Decent. Gumbo wasn't all that. Fried shrimp was cool. My daughter liked the calamari and sweet potato fries.
The staff is awesome. The environment is great but 8 of my shrimps were either dead or old - mushy like mash potatos. Zero quality. I want to like this place so bad but I can't. At least make it passable quality.
