Late review from 3 months ago. My mother forgot her $3,000 fake teeth. We called right away. The workers who answered was no help due to it being so loud. I don't blame her when a location overworks their workers during a Pandemic. I told my siblings not to eat there & they didn't listen... They waited 2 hours just to be seated. By the time, my sister & mom got there. They claimed it was all cleaned & thrown in a separate bag. We asked for the trash bag. They declined. I don't blame the workers for not caring about something visible. They also didn't clean the tables fast enough. Hopefully, they were telling the truth. Just don't forget anything here.

The facility was clean and the employees were very friendly

Pretty good seafood. Not sure if it was the holiday or supply chain issue but they were out of several of their seafood selections. The sausage was disappointing. The service was very good. No reservations so you have to wait your turn. The waits are in the 45 minute to one hour plus range during normal dinner hours.

I can't talk to the parking because I Ubered in and out of the area nut this place was big and offered lots of seating. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 very fast on a Saturday night with no reservation. Having recently come back from the Gulf coast I was still craving Cajun style food and was excited to try this place. Between us we had the crabby fries, and several other offerings. I liked what I got, and they offer a couple different seasoning heat levels. The service seemed a bit slow on some things, like water refills. But overall I highly recommend.

Buena comida y excelente servicio

I got the shrimp with lemon pepper seasoning and it was so good! Tried the fried calamari and it was also really good. This place never disappoints! Also the service is good and the servers are very kind

we brought my daughter after a college softball game and we we're pleased the waitresses was super nice and kind and fast she always checked on us good service

Food was delicious! The reason I gave the restaurant 4/5 was because the two bags of shrimp we got had no sauce at all. I had ordered a sauce container on the side (thankfully) but it wasn't enough for the food. Yes, I paid extra for thr sauce cup. We also ordered the Cajun wings, Cajun fries and regular fries to go with 2lbs of shrimp. I definitely recommend! Delicious food!

Prices of the seafood especially the king crab and snow crab are not worth it for the subpar freshness. The spice level is consistent with the name, mild is mild and medium is just spicy enough. The gumbo is tasty and the best part.
