The service is outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who ensure guests are well taken care of.

The menu features a variety of dishes, including well-marinated turkey necks, catfish, waffles, and fried ribs, all highly recommended by customers. Many diners have praised the Cajun food as authentic and delicious, with dishes that are perfectly seasoned and cooked with evident passion. The blackened catfish with the special sauce is highlighted for its great flavor, featuring a crispy cornmeal batter that balances a crispy outside with a soft inside. Customers also enjoyed the fresh salad with homemade dressing and the bread pudding that melted in the mouth.
While most dishes are flavorful, some customers noted that the flavor profiles for catfish and crabcake could be improved, as they were found to be bland and lacking seasoning. Portions are generous, but some felt that the seafood platter had too many potato chips, which could be reduced to make more room for seafood. The gumbo has a tomato-based flavor, which may not appeal to everyone.
The restaurant’s service is genuinely inviting and professional. Customers have praised the quality and quantity of the food, stating everything was cooked to perfection. Although wait times for takeout can be a little long, the overall experience is highly recommended.
