Food is just NOT what it used to be...but the service and staff was really sweet, respectful and nice! Seats needs more cushion.

Food was bland to say the least. Did have the gumbo, it was ok after adding hot sauce to it. Got the fried catfish, shrimp, fries and hush puppies. Ate a shrimp, piece of catfish, some fries and the two small hush puppies. Left the rest! Oh and tried the crab appetizer. $12 or something, for a handful of blue crab claws that were “broiled” which were dried out but thankfully they had flavor. Couldn’t wait to leave! Was very disappointed!!

This was a cool visit. I came in with my family. Three of us had baskets, two cat fish, one shrimp and someone else has a whole cat fish. For the most part, everyone enjoyed. I know I did. The server was very nice and attentive during our stay. Overall a good experience.

Came in for dinner for my grandmas birthday. The food was great and the drinks weren’t bad. The real standout was our server Stephanie! She went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent time. She offered to take pictures of us without us even asking! This place should feel lucky to have her. Treasure her!!

Today, I came in around 1:50pm on 9/4/2025 to sit at the bar as I always do. I have been coming to this place for years and I’ve NEVER experienced what I did today. The bar was dirty and the usual seat that I sit had a styrofoam cup and crumbs all around it. There seemed to be two servers working at the time. One bartender and one waitress.

I sat down at a cocktail table away from the bar and I heard the two employees debating if they wanted to take my table or not. After a few moments went by the bartender came to the end of the bar and asked me what I wanted to drink. I told him I wanted a Mexican coke with no ice. He popped the top of the coke and put the bottle on the bar top and wanted me to get up and get it. He looked like he didn’t want to even take my table nor serve me. Made me feel like I was a burden. I wasn’t sitting at the bar and no server ever came around to the table to greet me. So I got up and walked out.

I’m not one to make entitled complaints but this was horrible customer service. I’ve been coming here for years. I don’t even know if I will ever go back there.
