Very nice staff. We were seated at a high top but preferred a half booth. Once someone left, she offered to move us. We accepted the offer because the half booth was much more comfortable. I'm not a raw oyster eater but my husband is. He ordered a mix of Eastern coast. Got 3 different kinds. Liked them all but also liked certain ones more than others. He ordered jambalaya and loved it. It was a huge meal! Took some home. I got a po boy with shrimp and added their side of 2 fried oysters to the sandwich. It was very good. Next time I'll get the jambalaya and he'll probably just get a variety of lots of raw oysters. Very good food. Waitress was very nice and attentive but not overkill. Definitely no question, we'll be going back again. They also have a small front open window with few outside stools along it, for those that just want to stop by to buy just a few raw oysters along their way.

We had dinner here. I had the Mac and cheese, which was very soupy and similar to box Mac and cheese. I also had the beignets, which were not good in my opinion considering I’ve had authentic ones from NOLA.

The prices were very steep for dishes that aren’t typically never priced more than $20 in the South.

Overall, it was a decent attempt at New Orleans food.

First ate here in January and became obsessed. Literally drove 3 1/2 hours from Buffalo just to come back this past weekend. Do yourself a favor and order the banana bread pudding

My wife and I occasionally dine here for the oysters and Cajun cuisine. For an appetizer we had a half dozen of west coast oysters on the half shell. They never seem to disappoint. My wife had their DA LIL CHUNKY BURGER And Fries.
Two Patties, Fried Green Tomato, American Cheese, Benton's Bacon, Sunny Side Up Egg, Chili Mayo, Iceberg, House Dill Pickles and said it was fantastic. She also had a Grapefruit cosmo and
Pineapple cosmo which were tasty. I had the SEAFOOD GUMBO which has Gulf Shrimp, Crawfish, Oysters, Catfish, Andouille Sausage, Okra, and White Rice. It was exceptional as always. I had a couple of East End Big Hop IPAs with my dinner. We love the people who work here they truly are appreciated.
