My friends and I ate there a couple of times, and the food and the service were excellent!

Good food, free 2nd beer refill (AD military), and a cool hole-in-the-wall decor.
Update Nov 2025: The new dining room/Oyster bar looks nice! There are two new 2 story deck dining areas attached to it as well. Food is still great and the view is nice.

This place is within walking distance of my sister's. So definitely a must to drink their 5 rum - rumrunners, raw oysters and the deep fried and grilled shrimp appetizers are the Bomb~
I am so glad this place has been successful to grow ~ a must visit!

This place is everything a Dive Bar should be! On the water, great sunsets off the back deck, flame grilled oysters, diverse menu, good baskets and burgers, friendly staff, lively entertainment, loud and busy but you can still find a quiet spot on the deck and enjoy the bayou. I’ve enjoyed the food and find it good and reasonably priced. Just a fun spot. If you’re local you’re lucky but if you are just passing through you’ll think back on your visit often wishing you could sneak away for a mid week mental reset.

Great place! Fresh seafood! The bambam shrimp tacos are amazing (not pictured). Great place to watch sports or underneath the trees outside. Wish the chicken fingers were larger.

This is the quintessential dive, or however, it actually serves the most amazing seafood you will get in this area

Stopped by and tried the blackened shrimp salad, it was excellent. The shrimp were seasoned just right with a nice kick, and the salad was crisp and flavorful. Portion size was pretty decent. Great spot to grab a bite if you’re in the area!

Good food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Long line for ordering with only a couple people working... It was worth the wait, though.
