    You gotta try the jambalaya. The cup is a nice little size, but I say just go for the entree and split it if you want to share something.

    We got oysters here instead of Acme on Superbowl Sunday, the one day we could have gotten into Acme easier. Anyways, they were good and the people were nice, but the oysters at Peche were far better.

    A no nonsense raw oyster bar. Locals know to skip the lines at ACME and eat here instead.

    The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. Come here for oysters only - the other menu items are weaker.

    Char grilled Oysters were fantastic. Other food (etoufee, Turtle soup) was average. Here, it's all about the Oysters.

    Don't missed the catch of the day, probably redfish; get it blackened. Order the small cup of etouffe and pour it on top.

    The service here is amazing!!! The place was packed and we were waiting on friends to show up, but they didn't rush or complain. Just know they do cash only and can't sale alcohol.

    I know everyone liked the oysters, and they are phenomenal. But I'm going to recommend the turtle soup, it's divine!

    Forget Acme, this place is legit. Local lunch time crowd. Char-grilled Oysters in buttery, parmesan, breadcrumb goodness.

    I had the Club Sandwich and it was not good. The fries were old and even the waitress said it looked like they had been cooked several times. My wife had the Oysters Rockefeller which were good.
