“ Loved this place so much. Service was good and not too pushy, music was good, very relaxed vibes and food was very fresh. Definitely coming back! ”
“ A great place with great cajun food vibes. Everything I've gotten here has been really good. We've gotten the blackened gator bites, 2 burgers, the catfish, Grandma's Duck, Mahi Mahi, fried cheese, oysters, gumbo, crawfish, shrimp n grits, pulled pork tater tots, full fried snapper, and wings. Everything is really solid. The burgers and the catfish were good, the Duck was delicious and is apparently very popular. The cup of gumbowas great too. I definitely recommend this place. The oysters were good sized as well. The crawfish during season was a solid n spicy 3 pounds. A little pricey, but worth it. Good size and flavor. The voodoo wings are pretty darn good as well. The shrimp n grits which was different, in a great way tho. The staff here is always pretty chill n cool. I've been going back quite a bit. The southern fried cheese grits, served with this brown mushroom sauce is a favoritepf mine. It was really good. A solid $10 deal. ”
“ I had the Cajun soup and the shrimp and grits, and honestly… wow. The Cajun soup had that perfect kick — spicy but not too much — and it was packed with flavor. Every bite felt warm and comforting, like something made from scratch with real care. And the shrimp and grits? Unreal. The shrimp were cooked perfectly — juicy, a little smoky, and seasoned just right — and the grits were creamy and buttery in the best way. The whole dish just came together beautifully. You can tell the people in the kitchen really love what they do. I left full, happy, and already planning when I can come back. ”
