Reviews
Friendly, good service. Clean and cool in 100 something heat index. But I had hoped for fresh prepared entrées. When I heard crabcakes and catfish, I was disappointed to get premade, out of a package . Was cooked well but I can do that at home. BBQ for DH had good flavor but he didn't enjoy having to naw it off the rib bone. Not an unpleasant or send back dinner, but at the price point hoped for better
Quaint local eatery owned by Cajun native so authentic menu. My pulled pork was on grilled Texas toast with a burned side, with a 'dab' of slaw. Smoky, tender meat with spicy & mild sauces on the table. S.W.E.E.T. tea oh my word! Had to let the ice melt. Slow service in the 12:30-1:30 slot but servers appeared to be hustling with a back room and a patio to take care of. Fabulous hand-cut fries the best we've had in a long time. Great patio space for a group!
It was good! Weird and small, but tasty. Sweet server, fairly quick food- tasty and decent price point. Felt a little dirty, and just... too small. But yummy!
Great food. Great portions. Great prices. Felt like we were on vacation eating on the patio. Service was prompt and kind.
Very nice young lady waited on us. She smiled and was quite pleasant. Fast service to get our drinks. We ordered a burger and a small bbq. Love the ambiance of the place first time here. People are beginning to come in a little after 5 on Friday evening.90 degrees outside but cold inside with some music playing. Well the food came fast and it was very good.
