Worth the wait. As with most places, staff was short but all of them pitched in to make customers feel welcomed. We didn't mind the wait because we had a lot to talk aboutWe were a party of 5 and enjoyed meeting after years of separation because of retirement, moves to different states and jobs.

Great food and service! The red potatoes they give you are so good as an appetizer. Oysters are fresh but the stuffed mushrooms were to die for easily one of the best things to order here. The gumbo was also really good and can't go wrong with order a cup of bowl. We got the fried player combo with catfish, oyster, and shrimp and they were fired perfectly with good flavor. The carrot souffle was amazing, and can easily be eaten as a dessert. I will be looking forward to coming back here for sure.

Their craw fish is excellent always. To avoid wait time, we have lunch at the bar, with 5 pounds of crawfish and local draft beers. Everything is good just like before except for you don’t Abita on tap available anymore. Overall, one of my favorite Cajun seafood in New Orleans.

Second time visiting and I was still pleased! Sat at the bar this time and had excellent service. The red potatoes as an appetizer had the perfect amount of spice to them. I tried the crab balls which were delicious and fried well. For entrees we had the fried shrimp and Fries and the fried soft crab with dirty rice. Everything tastes wonderful!
