What a great spot
Stayed in an Airbnb for a couple nights. This gem was right down the street, walking distance.

We almost didn’t go to this place because it says reservations are required but in actuality they are not. I’m so glad I called to verify that reservations are optional. This place is amazing and I’m so glad we found it…we will definitely be coming back! The food, the service and the ambience was outstanding! The eggplant french fries were amazing as was everything else we ordered. They also serve liquor and have a full bar.

Bad experience with the staff, very not understanding and lacking courtesy. Other customers we're receiving their orders before us. Unlikely to eat here again.

my husband & i have been here many times, it’s one of our favorite date night spots. the food is amazing the service is normally good. tonight we brought our family for their first time & i kid u not it was one of the worst experiences ive ever had at a restaurant. we arrived at 6 pm & waited to be sat. 7 pm we get our table & order our drinks and 3 appetizers at the same time. 1 appetizer came out before i even got my drink, cool. our drinks come out, an hour passes & we still don’t have our other 2 appetizers. there was a party of what looked like 20/25 people next to us, i have waitressed many years so look, i get it when it’s a busy night. our waitress passes so i call her over to check the status of our 2 other appetizers - she looks confused as hell & says she’ll go check on them. meanwhile the nice couple behind us that got seated after us received the same appetizer that we were waiting on. we order our food while waiting for our appetizers still. dimitri gets 12 pc shrimp & a small gumbo. the girls each got their own gumbo with fries. i got a salad & a ribeye. our waitress brings our appetizers at 830 and 1 gumbo. at this point my kids are hangry so i split the gumbo between them. no more gumbo comes out after this. we all get our meals after this EXCEPT for the other kids gumbo, both kid fries, dimitris gumbo, my salad & my brothers whole meal. it’s 9pm at this time so we just ask for togo boxes. she brings the togo boxes & checks, we are charged for everything that we did not receive & gratuity bc we had 6 adults & 2 children (8 ppl total) i let our waitress know what needed to be removed from the check and asked her to remove the gratuity. i was not a karen or an asshole about this by the way, i let her know i still wanted to tip her, ive waitressed many years, i get it. not ONCE did she check on us while we were waiting for anything, not once did she reassure us that our food would be out soon, anything like that! i didn’t think she deserved a $25 tip. she proceeds to tell me that she in fact did bring out 2 gumbos, roll back the cameras bc why would i lie????? let me speak with the manager, no manager comes, she does come back & says they are removing the meals we didn’t get & the gratuity. great, she’s getting a $10 tip from us & we’re leaving.
we thought. the manager finally came & he did say we would get the food we did not receive taken off of our ticket but no apology or sympathy was given. oh well that was fine at this point we were just ready to leave. out waitress brings the corrected checks back & gratuity is still on the ticket. i understand we had 8 ppl but we did not even receive 8 meals. she says we can pay up front. we go to pay & the owner is there, he asks if everything we didn’t receive was removed & i told him yes sir it was, however the gratuity is still there. he says “yeah bc i told her to keep it” at this point im not gonna argue with anyone who obviously doesn’t care that their customers are unhappy. so we pay our tickets & my brother tips on top of gratuity.
i loved this place and if they would have made it right we would still attend, i am sad to say we will not be back.

My wife and I had the fried catfish lunch portion, and the flavor was well-balanced and delicious, crispy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The meal came with a fresh house salad topped with their outstanding house dressing, which was a real standout. Our server, Victoria, provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish.
