If I could give it 0 stars I would. First off, we sit down and want to order an alcoholic drink and the waiter says she didn't know how to make a island tea and the bartender wasn’t there. Next we get our food and nothing about the fries are Cajun seasoning, shrimp and fried crab baskets look and taste like they were straight out the freezer. No dipping sauces, came with ranch and ketchup. We told the waiter that we didn't like the food, only took a couple bites. We told her she can take the food and that we were going to leave and go somewhere else. I don't even think there was a manager there because no one cared about how they could make things better. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Don't go to this place!

Delicious food with friendly staff. Don't have to drive to garland anymore for seafood cravings. People who give this place bad reviews are use to the crawfish cooked then sprinkled with cajun seasoning. Try the house bayou.

Absolutely satisfying. Ignore every bed review. Mix the seasoning, get creative, I’m so all over this place.

The food was not cajun what so ever. The shrimp basket consisted of frozen crinkle cut fries and the shrimp had no cajun seasoning at all. The shrimp po boy was barely edible and needed some cajun spices to make it better. Very disappointed!!

Expensive and not all that great. Everything tastes like it came frozen. Would not recommend nor come back. Much better seafood places in Garland, with just a short drive down the street.

The food portions were generous. Had the fish, a shrimp po-boy and crab fried rice. Tasty enough. The service was slow, the music was club level loud with only 2 tables with customers. But the margaritas.. omg... is that what those were??? Worst ever..sent them back. They offered to make another, but noooooo.... I don't think this place will make it. I know we won't be back.

Service was bad. Ordered 5 items only 1 was 'good'. The rest were sub par. Only positive thing was the portion size. If you're still weary of Covid do not come here. No masks worn by anyone and paper towel style napkins on a roll.This place was not busy on a Friday night and for good reason. Bummer since a place like this had potential.

Our server Mary was super sweet and very helpful. I enjoyed my crawfish fried rice

YEP! The negative reviews are true. Just wasted $88 Got the crab fried rice and it had little to no crab. I asked for 1 lb of crawfish and 1 lb crab legs. They charged me for 2 lbs of crawfish. Crawfish was small and also ordered two sweet tea. Then when you pay through the hand held device it will not let you exit without giving a tip. All I can say is go at your own risk. Oh yeah...for catfish lovers, you won't get it here.
I wasn't really pleased with my choice of entrée; however, my sister was pleased with hers. I don't plan to return to the restaurant any time soon but I may give them another chance down the road.

The sauce a bit garlicky !!! But the crab legs were a good size and the food came out fast !!!

New or not, food needs to taste good and service needs to be good to get customers. Simply put, theirs just wasn't. I brought my 11 year old daughter with me and when we first sat down I literally almost left. They had some music playing that sounded demonic- no other way to put it. It continued until I asked the waitress if they could please change it so she said they would and then turned it to Drake. I don't know what crowd they're trying to appeal to it, but apparently it's not the family crowd. There were expletives all throughout the song! FINALLY they changed it to something decent. That was just that part and it was just the beginning! The crab wasn't great and certainly not worth the $60 meal that I paid for. I was really excited about this place and couldn't wait to try them and usually give a place another shot, but this one was just one and done after everything. The waitress was very sweet, that's about the best thing I can say about the place.

I missed 3 days of work after receiving food poisoning at this restaurant. I had the fish and shrimp basket and almost immediately felt queezy afterwards. Within two hours I was vomiting and it lasted around 12 hours. The food was very bland, the shrimp literally had no taste. Not even the second time when it came roaring back up. Never again. Avoid at all costs.

The food was bland and the butter tasted awful. They need to deveined the shrimp this way the flavor will be well balanced
