Exceptional Cajun food. Everything I've had here is good.
Fantastic food. Great atmosphere, great friendly service. OMG I went for lunch and had a spe call soup. A Garlic soup. Unbelievable! Fantastic. Then the Catfish Po boy! Again, Fantastic. My friend had the Shrimp Po Boy. He couldn't finish his, and neither could I! Just greatfood, a must go to!
The service and staff were great.

Went for lunch. Had the catfish. I asked if they could grill it, instead of being fried. They were very nice and accommodating. The fish came out delicious. The fries were made perfectly.
I ate with a friend at the bar.
The bartender lady was friendly, very efficient and professional.
Overall, a very positive experience.

Read the reviews and expected a dive bar. It is *in* a bar but that’s not the issue. We actually liked the music and the “dive bar” feel. I’m not a picky person but the guy BURNED burned the chicken. When I asked him about it he said “that’s because it’s the only way to get it to temperature” funny… no where else I’ve ever been had to burn chicken to get it to 165°. He offered to make something else, but the tone said he’d be happy to mess with it, too. The mozzarella sticks were good. 10/10 do NOT recommend getting the chicken since he doesn’t know how to cook it without burning it.

Some of the best Cajun I’ve had in a while. Super affordable but still quality. A beer, and bowl of fantastic gumbo for around $10 is probably what they’ll serve me if I ever clean up my act and make it to heaven. Throw in a lively crowed of regulars and two more beers and suddenly this place begins to feel like heaven and maybe I don’t have to clean up my act at all. 5 stars.

We were made to feel very special.
I wanted to go for the food, since I really like Cajun. There is a little window to order and when I walked up to it, it appeared that the kitchen was dirty looking so I didn’t eat there. It was hard to locate as I’m not from that area. If you wanted to go into a dark, quiet bar, on a Sunday afternoon,this would be a good spot for you.

Food was fairly mid; no where near authentic. The bar smelled like a men’s urinal, which made it difficult to eat my food. Staff seemed nice enough with the minimal interactions I had with them. Overall disappointed given it had such hype reviews from other patrons, both local and visitors.

Typical bar surround. As a local Louisianian, I was intrigued by their gumbo reviews. It’s…fine: 3 star in New Orleans and 4 star in Missoula. Poboy bread is hard to find so it’s a good subway bread. The rice is basically an Uncle Ben’s rice. The rue is dark and solid. I didn’t see any sausage or shrimp but not unexpected bc this is Montana.
Paid for a cup to try it. I think it was $5 and we paid with a $10. We left after 15 minutes and realized we never received any change. Too lazy to walk back so…based on one cup of gumbo. It’s a nice place with decent potential.

This was a nice experience. I had the Gumbolaya and a cheese steak. The gumbolaya was very thick and quite good. Super filling on its own. The cheese steak was very nicely done, thick cuts of tender beef instead of shaved steak. Great people working here also. On a scale from 0-10, I would rate this 8 2.
Best catfish poboy ever. I think about it all the time. Cool spot.
