Cozy restaurant with some standout dishes. While I didn't find all the dishes revolutionary, none of them were bad, and the hot fish + crab rice were excellent. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Second time here and another great experience. The food was incredible and even our kids (who a picky eaters) are eager to come back again. From appetizers to main course to dessert everything was delicious. Service was excellent even though our server was also waiting on a large party next to us. I appreciate that they have non-alcoholic drink options and would love to see them add a few more.

Had an amazing first experience at this restaurant! Brett and the rest of the staff provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was exceptional. I tried the 2lbs of crawfish with the wet sauce, which had a slight upcharge but was totally worth it. However, they were a bit salty for my taste, so next time I'll request less Cajun seasoning or just stick with the wet sauce. The roasted oysters were huge and delicious, offering a unique take as I prefer charbroiled oysters. Bread is so soft! The Mississippi catfish plate was fantastic, with fresh veggies bursting with flavor. Even if you're not a fan of slaw, it's worth a try! And to top it off, the old-fashioned was great. Parking is available on the street. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! I order the carrot cakes balls to-go - they were a bit greasy but the cream cheese frosting was amazing.

lucas’s food is unaspiring, with food items needing salt and not being cooked to temp. maybe he will have the strength to walk the extra distance to find inspiration. Seems like he wants to be Chris Shepherd and not hisself.

My new spot for crawfish! Easy to pop in after a long day at the office for a beer and bucket of crawfish. Reminds me of BBs but a bit spicier and I love it!
