We went to celebrate two birthdays the end of November, the place was empty, the menu out of lots of things and the quality of the food very low. We were very disappointed and will not go again!

This is my favourite pub. The staff are excellent - Kirk, Emily, Trinity, Yasir - very good bartenders and food servers. Good place for a quiet drink or food (great quality for your dollar). Spacious and pretty.

I gave them another try but was more disappointed than the first time. Loved the original but it's not even close. Food was ok but way overpriced for the quality (jambalaya). Oysters were very expensive for the size and poorly shucked $2.50 each but were the size you'd expect for their buck a shuck deal. Service was meh....I've given it my last try at three visits, figured it was COVID and growing pains but it will never be what the old big daddy's was...too bad ?

Came here with the Tuesday Club and had an awesome time! I had the mussels and the gumbo, both of which were absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were also large and very filling! The 2 bar staff did an amazing job at taking care of everyone too. My only critique would be the small selection of beers, but if you are into cocktails there's definitely something for you! The prices were also pretty high, but I think well worth it for the great taste and portion size.

Excellent food with even better service (way better than some other places close by)! Crab cakes were a great way to start my meal and then I had the gumbo which was fantastic. Fresh rice, fresh piece of corn bread and the gumbo itself was delicious. Will be back.

The food was over cooked and way too salty. The beer selection also was not very good. There are lots of better options in the
My husband and I were there for the Saturday night "Date night" special .Kirsten was very attentive ,and served us a delicious meal, which included a bottle of wine with this special. We split the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. It was so good and there were 6 of them.We then had our meals which were also very good , and split a dessert. over all we would recommend this place for a nice date night.

We visited on Saturday, before our NAC show. I was not impressed. Food was just not that good; my steak was barely warm (cooked to the right temp), fries were soggy and under seasoned, no flavor to the chimichurri. Server was nice and attentive but sadly will not be returning.

Deep frieds were greasy. Cajun vegetables penne and the sea food linguine were very good. Big positive surprise was the Cajun sauce, really good. We arrived late at night, close to closing, and our waitress was excellent. We had a good family dinner.Vegetarian options: Vegetables pasta
