We recently stopped in and decided to sit at the bar, and we are so glad we did. Our bartender, Nick, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and clearly knows his menu inside and out. He made some great food recommendations that did not disappoint. We tried the Boudin balls appetizer, the jambalaya, and pear martini. The service was top-notch from start to finish, and the atmosphere at the bar made for a really enjoyable dining experience.

If you’re visiting, I definitely recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and letting Nick take care of you. Excellent service, great food, and an overall awesome time!

Waited 20 minutes for a menu with maybe 10 people in the restaurant. Had to go to the bar and order drinks then go pick them back up. Even had to go run down the bill. Food came out quick but that was the only positive.

My husband and I came from out of town for our second anniversary. When looking up what we wanted to do we knew we wanted to come here. We've never had Cajun food before and wow it did not disappoint! The ambiance was so cozy and the service was super quick. Ordering off of the menu on the wall was a little intimidating and felt a little rushed, but once you're regular it would be fine. The food was amazing and we'll be back!

Nice place to eat. The burger was great but the fries were waaaay over seasoned. Service was fine but overall price is a bit high for what you get.

The food was amazing! Everything we had was delicious! The jambalaya, Shrimp Po-boy, and Boudin balls were top-notch! The beignets and fried green tomatoes were really good and helped round out a great meal!

We had a party of 8. Our service was great! Very comfortable place to eat some great food. They also sat a table for 15 at the same time. Our food came out fast and great. Red beans and rice gumbo was great.
I will return again

We were in just a few days ago for afternoon happy hour. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful to us. We had the red beans & rice, jambalaya and gumbo trio. Also had fried oysters. We wrapped up with beignets. Everything was great....but the jambalaya was excellent. We were very impressed. If we lived in Franklin, this would be a go-to for us.
