The cashier (Donna) was very friendly and welcoming. She suggested I order the combo meal since I was so indecisive. I ordered the catfish & wings combo. My husband ordered 20 wings and onion rings. ( lemon pepper & hot flavored) I must say the catfish was fried perfectly! Crispy & flavored to perfection! My husband onion rings was so good, I ate a couple and wanted more. He said“ the seasoning on the wings was exquisite!” We will eat here again. He suggest we dine-in next time we visit.“

I never knew a vegetable could take so hearty and delicious! It was so good I think I liked it better than the crab cake. The crawfish ettoufee was amazing as well! It has such a homemade comforting flavor! Bang bang shrimp were also good. For apps, we got the boudin balls and the seafood bateau. The seafood bateau was just heavenly with its creamy seafood cheese sauce. It was loaded with crawfish and crab! Overall, great service, food, and a friendly crowd.”
