Went for the first time with a coworker for lunch and he suggested the jambalaya, we got there just as they opened so no one else was there besides us. He got the chicken jambalaya and I got the seafood and let me tell you it was AMAZING!! It was way too much for lunch I felt like I needed a nap after eating all that but man it was fantastic. The shrimp mussels and catfish were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the rice delicious I couldn't wait to take the next bite. Will definitely...read full review
Great experience. The Chef loves what he does and it translates to the quality of food and excellent customer service. The Chef visited our table 3x, including once to deliver a drink. The staff was friendly and attentive. Portion size was enormous. You will definitely need a take home container. Great hidden gem.
My crew went to celebrate a birthday. Food and drink ms were excellent. Service was great. Definitely coming back
