Went here at the recommendation of Mt client I was visiting. I took them to lunch and I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken as it was the Monday special. It was delicious! The server seemed to not be ready to handle the lunch rush. I will be back

Great little restaurant in Monroe. Friendly staff, nautical decor and a nice easy vibe overall. It's a smaller menu but some great items. I had the BBQ shrimp NOLA style. It had amazing flavor. Had a ball of crispy grits too. Had crab cake appetizer that was full of crab. Everything was delicious. I'll be back.

This was a great lunch spot we found by chance and very friendly staff! The club panini was delicious.

The food was excellent here!! Fried green tomatoes, shrimp, onion rings, and even the fries were cooked to perfection. The batter was light and crispy, and the bread on our poboys was perfect!

The staff was very friendly. I ordered an American hamburger cooked to order. It was deliciously juicy. The loaded fries were just to good to stop eating!

We always get takeout from here for work. They've never messed up the orders and it's always fast and friendly. Their salmon with roasted veggies and polenta is soo good. If you want something heavier, they have the best onion rings and fried shrimp in town,Dietary restrictions: pescatarian friendly

Small quaint place. My husband really loved his barbecue shrimp. MY fried catfish was ok. We had a large group of 9 of us and the service was very good. They got us seated right and and brought our food out in a very reasonable short time frame. I would definitely go back and explore more items on the menu.

Blackened redfish and cream brûlée!! Wow. Server recommendations were spot on. Thank you, Teddy. My mom loved her fried fish and potatoes. We meandered aimlessly in today by chance. Next time it will be intentional!
