Would have been interested to check it out. But open sign on and lights on and doors locked tight. 3:30pm on a Sunday. 2 other cars pulled in and did the same thing while we found someone that actually wanted to make money.

Waited an hour after placing our order for the waitress to come tell us they didn't have what I ordered. Waited 45 minutes for our appetizer fried alligator and it was only about 8 pieces and pretty costly. I don't recommend this

The Red Beans and Rice was not good. Over paid for the amount you get with soggy Garlic bread.

The jambalaya was good even so far away from Louisiana and service was Amazing but it is a small, space that looks like a tiny neighborhood bar. Not a dining atmosphere.

It was a very pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the time spent there. It brought back good memories of a certain bar in Hi . Good times to be had by all who go there.

It's a bar, stick to bar food. Not really trying to be mean, but the food is terrible. I went to pick the food up and must've gotten strong because, there was no weight. Food was almost like canned food flavor wise. We get it, you want to make a lil money next to fat tuesdays, but useing their menue right now is terrible. Stick to frozen burgers. Someone is going to get sick.

The music was loud heavy metal and rap, complete with cursing in the songs. A guy sitting at the next table over yelled at the top of his lungs twice, for no reason that I could tell. The food was good, the wait staff friendly.

Went back in june. Staff was wonderful, but the food was not good. Had the chicken and waffles. My waffles were cold and seemed like they were frozen waffles and the chicken was rubbery and very small portion. The corn bread was great! My husband's burger was better than the chicken and waffles. Drinks were good. Want to give it a 2nd try but having a hard time getting myself back there.

Average food, slow service and a non service animal dog jumping on you. If this sounds good to you then this is the place fir you. Key word here is slow.

More like a bar than a restaurant. Overly loud music made it nearly impossible to relax and have a conversation without shouting. Potato salad was awful! Had a vinegar taste. Catfish was good but not a generous serving. Cornbread was dry and hard in places. Sadly disappointed!

Gumbo & sausage was served cold, without a spoon. Couldn't find any sausage. Couldn't order the burger special because ground beef wasn't thawed.

Dined in tonight, my boyfriend got smoothered catfish over rice with a side of Mac n cheese and corn bread. His meal was ok, just ok. I got the Cajun pasta and let me tell you, it was TERRIBLE. Their Alfredo sauce had to of come from a can. It tasted like the Ragu brand Alfredo sauce. The menu says it comes with chicken shrimp and sausage. All I received was over salted shrimp and sausage with a bunch of parsley on top for garnish. Save yourself some $ and do not ever order their pasta.
