I was extremely impressed with how the food tasted. This is by far one of the most hidden treasures in the area. Don’t miss the opportunity to dine in this amazing restaurant. I am sure you will love it.

Was looking for something different for lunch when I found this place! Ordered the po boy shrimp and it was so delicious! First time a real po boy with jumbo shrimp! Battered to perfection! Must try the Cole slaw and red beans and rice. So tasty and so much flavor! Great prices and amazing food!

The I bought the three fish and 3 shrimp plate. I got 6 strips of fish and three huge shrimp. I also ordered a crab cake. All of the food was excellent and well worth it. The service was fast and friendly.

Excited to see another cheap-eats seafood place come to town so gave it a try. Stylishly decorated in an Indian flair with several beautiful mandalas on the walls. Also on the walls were several permanently-mounted oscillating fans, which probably would have helped if they had been working. It was 99 degrees outside with a breeze. It was almost that hot inside the dining room with no breeze. The napkin dispensers on the tables are boxes of facial tissues. Great for wiping noses but not sturdy enough to wipe hands. Help yourself to your single-serve beverage from the cooler inside the door before ordering. The serving sizes are generous but some of the flavors were not traditional to southern cooking. We had the jumbo shrimp, crab cakes, okra and fries (yum). We also had the Cole slaw. While it was creamy and cool, we didn't care for it due to a flavor that we just couldn't place. They make their own sauces and the cocktail sauce tastes pretty close to expected. The tartar sauce not so much. It had no relish and had a taste more associated with traditional Indian cooking. Fine in a curry but not found so much in southern US flavors. The service was adequate. No offers of additional foods or advice. Just answered our questions. Did thank us for coming in. Would not go back to dine in. Might order take out of entrées and prepare sides at home.

The food was okay but I heard about your health score 44 out of 100, ouch. Also do something about the stuff in the back hallway, you’re making it difficult for papa johns to haul their trash out every evening. ?

We ate here for the first time. I really wanted the chicken livers but they were out supply issues which we totally understand! We both ordered the fried shrimp the 8 piece Jumbo with two sides. There was a little glitch in our order but they made it right. Darrell wanted fried but got grilled. He also had the Mac and cheese and fries. I had fried shrimp jumbo too and fried okra. I have to say this was better than some high end restaurants. A lot of times when you get your food it’s hot but it doesn’t stay hot Our food remained hot until the very last bite. Darrell was impressed and as you know from previous reviews I’ve posted Darrell doesn’t say much about food unless it’s really good so he was very impressed. the shrimp batter when made the most amazing crust. The okra was tender, hot and crunchy. I think they actually may make their own cocktail sauce too. It was delicious had the perfect amount of horseradish we will be back I’m dying to try those chicken livers. Hope it comes with cream gravy lol! very small little out-of-the-way, southern cooking restaurant. The prices were reasonable, and the food was terrific. Oh, and the hush puppies were so good.

One of the best southern place I’ve had in America! DFW area. Everyone should try! This the kind of place you’ll miss when you no longer live a country where there’s one and you just want to travel there again just to havesome some of the yummy food!

Great place for lunch and dinner, I have been searching for a place that offers a great value of food and seeking full afterwards. This place has definitely checked the box on that, I love the staff as they are super helpful and kind. Definitely a must try!

The seasoning of the food was ok. I've definitely had better. My taste buds were expected something different. More Louisiana Flava. Prices are ok, considering the economy we live in now, but I wouldn't say that you are getting your money worth for what I received.
