After work, I wanted to treat myself to a great meal and great drinks. I found this restaurant randomly clicking around Google maps. The restaurant itself is warm and welcoming. The energy is great, the servers and hosts are friendly.Food:I ordered the blacked scallops as my appetizer, and they were perfect. It was hard not to devour all of them, being the fact I wanted to save room for my main entree. They were perfectly seasoned and paired with a great honey mustard sauce. (Between u and me, I used the bread to scrape the leftover sauce it onto my too go plate). My entree was fried catfish with chicken jambalaya. Everything was perfect. It wasn’t overly spicy, and the catfish was fried so perfect, it made that crispy crunch sound. I also ordered voodoo crawfish to go and I am excited to try them when I get home.DrinksI ordered the Açaí Berry Cosmopolitan and a pomegranate margarita. Be careful, their drinks are so good, you may forget u are drinking liquor ?Kid-friendliness: There were kids, but not near the bar area where I was sitting. None of the children were crying or freaking out, so don’t worry if you do see children
1st time there. Drink was good..bread was great..crayfish soup was super spicy for me and lacked crayfish in whole pieces. I got Burbon shrimp..he got catfish with chicken jambalaya. Both were terribly over sauced! Basically not edible. Also may have had about 1/2 cup of rice floating in sauce. Taste was ok but brought home..made rice and added shrimp to make it edible. Not convinced I'll drive all the way back given this visit.

They used to be great, but when I was there in Feb 2024, the food was awful and the prices were not appropriate for what they provided. I ordered sweet potato fries, which were dry and had no flavor. I ordered a veggie burger, which was beyond burnt. I asked for lettuce & tomato and they provided a tiny piece of lettuce and part of a tomato, which they charged $1 for. I paid over $20 for a burnt veggie burger.

The food was very tasty and it's a nice atmosphere
A little rushed to say the least. Prob won’t return sadly. Arrived 8:45pm and was seated. Restaurant wasn’t busy. Seemed like staff was in a hurry to end the night. Ordered food, some items weren’t played. They were bought to us midway with us finishing the entree. Just wasn’t what I expect for the cost associated with this restaurant. It was my second time but prob will venture out of Delaware for something with similar price points with better service attached to it

Went for my Anniversary and we had the perogies, the alligator sausage and my favorite was the blackened salmon with the bourbon crawfish over rice on top was amazing! Ended with coffee and bananas foster delicious, food , staff, atmosphere were 10/10 amazing place to eat and a fun place to visit after talk a walk around Old New Castle 3 blocks from the water.
Went with a few friends for dinner a few weeks ago. We ended up ordering a bunch of different appetizers to try. We were not disappointed. The Captain Crunch chicken tenders and dipping sauce were out of this world. I also tried, and fell in love with, the Voodoo crawfish tails. We ordered the perogies and nachos too which were also great. The staff was super friendly and the service was great. There is so much to look at in here. Can't wait to go back

We wanted to try a different restaurant for date night and we came across Nora Lees and decided to give it a try. We don’t regret that decision the food was absolutely delicious, our waitress Patty brought all the vibes making the experience that much better. At the end of our meal the chef even came out so I could compliment him on how awesome the meal he prepared was. We will definitely be back especially for the blackened honey mustard chicken I couldn’t get enough of!I left a four star for atmosphere only because of personal preference of liking a little more light while I eat.
I will NEVER , NEVER, NEVER, go again,!!! That food as for my first time eatingGumbo was NOT Good .WHEN I SAY NASTY, not good at all!!!? and the catfish sandwich was not really cook

The waiters were amazing with their knowledge of the menu and the area but all we had was appetizers the Cap’n Crunch chicken was good. But a lil weird in sweet chicken. I had the Crawfish appetizer it was a lil to spicy and the flavor just wasn’t there we tried the perogies were bland all the flavor was on the outside. The best part was the drinks the hurricane was amazing . I’m just saying for the prices I expected so much more and nothing came out like pictured. We didn’t even order entrees because the appetizers just weren’t it. We came hungry and left hungry l.Kid-friendliness: The waiters were amazing and the drinks that’s all

Food was excellent!! We had blackened Alligator sausage with Cajon sauce served over rice and bourbon crawfish tails with creole sauce also served over rice. My only complaint is that it should have been presented with a spoon and separate plates. We had to use our bread plates and a fork to get it out of the bowl. Both appetizers and the bread were awesome!!!

This was our second visit and I was hoping for a different experience with the food. This is a very cozy restaurant with great drinks but the food is questionable.My side salad was made with wilted lettuce and carrots that weren't cleaned. My fries were cold and dry and my coconut shrimp were heavily battered but missing flavor. Our server was very nice and I didn't feel like sending food back because I didn't want to ruin her night giving her extra work. As stated in other reviews, definitely not Louisiana cuisine but, a good spot for drinks and wings.
Overall great place and amazing food, only went the once with my girlfriend, so tried plenty of dishes and definitely going back.
