EXCELLENT service. EXCELLENT sizes. EXCELLENT flavors. Came in with a large group and was seated immediately. Ordered and was hot and fast delivered. Will recommend and will come again. Heard the hushpuppies were the best this lady had ever had from a table next to us! We didn't have any ordered. Will try them next time.

Very good food and service would go again! There was 7 of us and no complaints but from 1 person that said the bacon was overcooked but everyone likes their bacon cooked different so leave that where it is.

The crawfish were phenomenal, only complaint was the heads were dryish. Super fresh, and the boudin ball was perfection. 10/10 would visit again

Loved the Cajun ribeye steak. I highly recommend it. The pulled pork was good as well. Eat the pork without the sauce. You don't need it. Get the BBQ shrimp. It's the closest I've had to what you can get in New Orleans.

This is a down home treasure! The shrimp were fresh from the Gulf! The decor is fun and inviting. I will definitely return.

Great southern atmosphere and charm, and the food is delicious too! Almost famous? More like, famous enough in these parts. I had their brisket ordered for Thanksgiving, and it is absolutely worth every cent. Everyone is in love with it, and I have no good words to describe how amazing the staff has been to get this prepared for me. Happy hour on the drinks is definitely worth coming for as well. I love all of the little knick knacks, but my favorite has got to be the wooden hogs.

Took a trip to Fort Worth Texas this week. Stopped at this place on way back home to Iowa. Highly recommend. The catfish, gator and shrimp tacos were excellent. Service was on point. If your in the area, stop in!
