I’ve been there many times and anytime I have out of state guests we always take them there! And when guests return, the first thing they ask is “Can we go to that Knotty place on the hill to eat”. Now we call it the Naughty Place on The Hill because every meal is amazing, crab boil and the naughty Bloody Mary is well amazing and Naughty! Staff is amazing as well!

The worst food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. This is NOT a good representation of Cajun creole food at all! They advertised Saturday specials that they didn’t have. Lobster bisque is advertised on their Facebook page and website for Saturdays and when we got there they didn’t have it and a server told us that they haven’t had it in a while. They replaced it with Jambalaya. They can call it Jambalaya but it was the worst I ever had. No flavor and ground up so much that...read full review
