Place is a little loud, so if you want to have a conversation with your significant other, don't come here. Its more family orientated. Food is great but a little high, and so are the drinks. But I guess everyone has chooses there own prices. 🤷‍

Service was excellent. I had blackened catfish with shrimp etoffee and dirty rice. Wife had fried shrimp with fries. We ordered off of the lunch menu and the portions were still large. Everything was cooked to perfection and the price was very reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the meals. We have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and never had a bad meal.
