“Stopped in for a drink and some oysters and found the restaurant quite charming. It was a nice afternoon and there is plenty of shady, covered outdoor as well as lots of indoor seating. Service was a little slow but at least two different servers checked on us.
Staff was friendly and knowledgable. The raw oysters tasted good but were not fresh shucked. I would recommend the grilled oysters they were delicious. Prices were good and overall just the atmosphere is worth a stop at this cool place.
Stopped in for lunch another day and the grouper sandwich was good but the service was, well not as good and it seemed to take way too long for a grouper sandwich. But it was cooked perfectly and delish. Definitely be going back, recommend sitting outside.

“Where to even start?! This place is absolutely phenomenal. Let’s start with the vibes and the service- amazing. Step into the laid-back vibes of Down Island, and you are greeted by incredibly attentive and friendly waiters. They also have live music on Friday nights. All THREE times my husband and I went (on our five day vacation), we were greeted by the owner, Stefani. She is simply amazing- truly one of the friendliest people I have ever met. Kyle was a wonderful waiter and recommended my husband and I try the Cobia fish (which neither of us had tried before). It was delicious. We also had the oysters (so fresh), brunch (the bayou omelette and the cinnamon roll pancakes are fantastic), blueberry cobbler, and pineapple upside down cake. My mouth is watering just thinking about the desserts. It is evident that the ingredients used are fresh and that their food is truly home-made. I simply cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thank you, Stefani, for you and your team making our vacation extra extra wonderful.“

“Highlight of our trip! Chef Patrick catered an in home dinner for our family celebrating my parents’ 50th in June 2023 at the house we rented for the week. He worked with me on the menu, accommodating varying adult preferences and making sure our ages 9-15 kids were well fed too. We had so much fun watching him cook and talking that we never actually went to the dining room and instead chose to sit around the kitchen counter. The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and he made sure the kitchen was spotless before he left. Although it was a bit of a splurge, it was worth every penny and we would have Patrick back in a heartbeat!“

“My grandparents went to AJ's Thanksgiving event. They have bragged to me non-stop about their server, the food, and the entire event. There was open handicapped parking right in the front. They sat at the bar and were served by the bartender. They didn't get her name but were thrilled with her friendly, attentive demeanor. The entire event was donation based, and an envelope was provided for privacy. I am so thankful to AJ's for hosting this event and to the staff who generously work the event.
Thank you!!!“
