Great for seafood lovers. A Selection of multiple sauces. Also, decent drinks.
Erica BrownJune 25, 2015
Great crawfish but now they are only allowing people to dine for 90mins including the time you are waiting for your food.

Chris PolloneMay 30, 2017
Bad service. Took 40 mins for food to arrive. Entree came out before our apps. Gumbo tasty. Mostly veggies & rice w/some sausage & 1 shrimp. Ordered "Cajun" Crawfish. Got butter & garlic. Still good.
Mix ChongAugust 25, 2014
Crab prawns. Stay away from clams and crayfish. Gumbo is also very avg

Great stuff, especially if you come during non peak hours.
Tris PriorOctober 8, 2013
Bring some floss and breath mints! You will need both after beasting on the special + spicy!
Alexandria DangFebruary 1, 2013
A healthier Louisiana fish fry/crawfish boil joint. Reasonably priced compared to Delta Grill too.
Jackson SJune 10, 2016
all the seafood is good... the mixed drinks are a little light on the liquor
Daniel VillarAugust 15, 2014
To die for. The sauce they use on their food is the best
VictorMarch 20, 2016

Seafood, Cajun. Excellent Food and Drink Selection.
TiffanyJuly 28, 2015
get the shrimp with the boil special sauce and mild spicy
Mimi FuchsAugust 10, 2013
Definitely get a combo dish. Anything eaten out of a bag is a win.
Sharon COctober 29, 2013
Clams in the lemon garlic sauce is delicious. I just wish they weren't cash only.

Jocelyn HartmannMay 21, 2013
Shellfish is really fresh and prices are on point - stay away from the lemon garlic sauce... Way too heavy
Amar BraithwaiteJuly 28, 2015
Get a side of garlic bread to sop up the sauce!
Vivian VoNovember 4, 2014
Cash only - if you get 2 lbs of anything, they add potatoes & corn 😋
thmMarch 12, 2014
This place is amazeballs!!! So good. A must try
Darrel DawkinsJanuary 30, 2016

Cash only. Prepare to order seconds and thirds. Lobster, shrimp, crab = good eating. Tiny crawfish not so impressive
TingSeptember 9, 2014
Order anything with 'the boil' sauce. They arm you with bibs and gloves but expect to get messy.
MikeNovember 15, 2014
Cash only and long waits for tables but it's worth it
Anthony HudsonFebruary 27, 2015
Get the crab legs with the boil secret sauce !
Giang BMarch 3, 2019
Garlic butter sauce with everything
Alice EunjinMay 5, 2015
Clam with garlic sauce - so good
Clarissa VainiusAugust 29, 2013
Anything with the boil sauce... Mmmmm so good.
Daniel BlackburnJuly 19, 2017
They told us they wouldn't seat us unless our entire party was present (2 people parking ), then proceeded to start the party after us who was also waiting on people parking. Guess what color we are?
Cheng J'sSeptember 11, 2013
The Clams was very good on Garlic Sauce
MindyDecember 21, 2014
You can only be seated if your entire party is there.
debzMay 25, 2013
If they give you the option to sit in either the front or back, ALWAYS choose the back (where the lighting is dim). No one wants to see that shit all over you. Not a good look.
Wek HernandezMarch 19, 2015
Eat before you go here cause youll be eating after 2 hrs of waiting.
