Came to Lafayette for our anniversary and took my husband here for the raw oysters and Cajun food. They did not disappoint. The live music was fantastic and everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. There was live music and people dancing. This is what I look for in authentic cajun dining. A big thank you to my server, Libby who recommended the Deep-fried Bread Pudding and was very attentive.

Frozen Shrimp that tasted freezer burnt on the Poyboy. Definitely wasn't Gulf Coast Shrimp. server verified Shrimp comes frozen.
