Great service from the moment we walked in! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious— the skirt steak was incredibly tender, the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly, and my burrito was excellent.

The environment was clean, family-friendly, and comfortable, making it a great spot for all ages. Everything about our experience was positive, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I love it there. Amazing food, strong drinks, good music and atmosphere. I live very close and this place is a home away from home. It’s a family business and the young owner, Chris, is very involved. He is at the restaurant almost daily, interacts with customers and helps cook the food often, and his love can be tasted in the food. I adore the other staff as well. Great backyard space for children to play, to look at the water and scenery, for smokers, and folks to bring their dogs. I’m a regular and can’t say enough good stuff.

It'd a bar, with basically bar food. Fried fish and shrimp tasted off....not sure if it was the batter or the oil but it was not good at all. Smoked tuna dip was pretty good. Very limited menu, mostly tacos of various types. The beef tacos were dry and tasteless. Loud, multiple tvs going, outside is better if weather permits. If you like a bar with bar food you'll probably Ike it....not my kinda place.

I have been here three times and enjoyed it each time. The food is good, but it's the service that is outstanding. The atmosphere is so laid back and it makes the experience feel friendly.

Had an awesome time. Only stayed in Slidell for four days and ate here twice. Food was great and drinks were perfect. Really would love to see a sign in light out front to make it easier to see. Definitely will be going back.

The people here make you feel like you are family and the food is always good. We just love this place. Everyone remembers our names and they talk to us regularly as friends not customers.

The waitress was polite but her service was not by any means fast and our food took over 45 minutes to arrive. She said a big group of people arrived and they were behind. The place was practically empty on a Monday. My order was a steak burrito and it was full of rice hardly any meat the burrito arrived cold and the food inside was barely warm. The taste was fine but I had to spoon so much rice out just to eat it. The tuna tostada was very heavy on the fruit. This place was great when it first opened. Its gone down dramatically. I dont recommend it and I doubt I will ever be back.

My wife is from the area and we don’t get to visit often we searched for a place near her families home to go get lunch and found this absolutely awesome spot!! I would give it ten stars if I could. Every aspect of this restaurant is amazing from the atmosphere to the service and the food is amazing. It was fresh and full of flavor this place does it right and it doesn’t kill the wallet either. We will be back every time we visit and we will recommend this place to anyone. Especially if you have a young child they have an awesome pirate ship play ground out back !
