Excellent Louisiana style shrimp. You have to be patient to get a table, it's always super full.

If I can leave a negative star for a review I would. My friend came back from his service in the military and he was craving boiling crab. So I brought him here… the food was okay but the service was terrible. I didn’t get the servers name but geez was she bad. Date was 3/26/24

Fun experience with a group. A bag of food for is dumped on the table and everyone eats with their fingers. A limited menu but an unforgettable experience.

Excellent food, service and hospitality. The most likely thing is they continuously check on our needs and the service is fast and top class.

Our first visit here, probably our last.We were seated, got or drinks and placed our order. My shrimp came out then our app came 15 minutes later. 15 minutes later her crab legs came out w my catfish order. Several servers asked how everything was, however none asked asked if we wanted additional drinks or cocktails. We both had one drink while here. The place was not too busy for a Tuesday. I was not impressed w everything being an Add On item to create a " bag meal ". Why not create some at a set price? We've been to other places that do this. The fact everything is served in bags and put on the table is definitely messy as hell. At least provide a small tray to dump the bags on to. Again, several places have this same concept of seafood and make it work well.Oh, and please fix the hand sanitizers in here, tried 3 and all were empty or broken.

Ordered after haven't eaten here in a month or two. Online ordered, went to pick up our food after we got a message that said it was ready. To later get told it wasn't, had to wait 20 minutes still before we finally received our food. Then when we got our food, it was cold. Third time had to once again talk to them to tell them our food was cold. Had to wait 10 more minutes again for it. This probably be the last time we will be eating from here. As the quantity of the food doesn't match their pricing. We had ordered 3 half pound bag of shrimp, yet each bag had a different amount of shrimp.

I had lunch here on Thursday 7 @ 15:30. I ordered with my friends 1 pound of chromo each and some French fries. What happen next was horrible! Me and my friend both got food poisoning that night , my friend spent 24h in ER and had severe vomiting… I tried to call the restaurant couple of times but they never pick up. Think twice before eating here!

I almost never give a 5 star. I edited my review from 4 to 5, because the manager replied to my review and invited me back. Well done. I will be in, with work associates, the next time I'm in town. Excellent food, great service.
