Waited over an hour for a burger and brought the attention to the owner and all he could do was argue THAT WE WERENT WAITING THAT LONG. NEVER AGAIN WILL I COME HERE. Food was mediocre, fish was mostly breading, definitely not worth the wait or my time.

Went here for the first time and loved it. We live by Jane’s seafood but will definitely drive that extra 5 minutes to go here! Food was super great. I had my toddlers and the waiter was playing with them and even gave us bread to feed the ducks. Every worker that passed asked if we were ok. I watched our waiter (Ian) literally run to a table to comfort a little girl who dropped her fork. He got her a new one and made her happy. Didn’t have the most money for a tip but we will definitely be back. This is the best example of how workers make the business because to me even though the food was great I don’t feel like we could’ve gotten a better service.

Food was really good. Laid back atmosphere. Food did take longer than expected, but overall everything was good. Just don't plan on being in and out quickly for lunch.

This place is beyond disgusting. It really doesn't deserve one star. We chose this restaurant because we we're visiting from out of town and wanted cajun food. It was kinda late so our options were slim. Let me start from the beginning of our visit. The establishment itself needs a deep cleaning. All of the sauce bottles on the tables need replacing. The waitress that serviced us or lack there of rather needs training about the menu and customer service. We ordered several items from the menu to try and none of which were completely edible. Starters we had stuffed jalapeños they were actually balls of stuffing with jalapeños tidbits in it. They were overcooked and hard. We ordered 3 entrees, with grilled vegetables that were infact frozen veggies that appeared to be steamed. Two of the entrees included grilled shimp. They were served on skewers so dry they appeared to be dehydrated shrimp. The menu never mentioned the shrimp being shrimp skewers. The menu needs to be more descriptive and clear. One of the entrees included frog legs, which my mother was afraid if she ate them she would get food poisoning from the looks of them. We had an order of fries for my one year old son and they arrived warm and limp to the table. We didn't get asked if we wanted a refill until we were asking for the check.The waitress asked how our meal was, I told her and she didn't seem to care much. With all of the food left on the table that should have raised concern for the waitress. Overall sadly we left hungry and disappointed.

Great food nice owner. Server eian was great along with Fred and rufus.

Great place to eat and hang out and the owner is very nice. Would recommend it to all my friends.

Food is always good here lately with inflation the prices have come up a bit and the service is a little slower due to the fact of being shorthanded I would imagine but other than waiting an hour for 2 shrimp dinners everything was great.

It was nice inside. The prices didn't seem too expensive. Clean place. Friendly staff. The food was decent. But i felt kinda underwhelmed when i got my food. The plating arrangement could have been a bit better and the toppings on the burger weren't too noticeable but other than that i enjoyed my stay. I'd go back next time i'm in the area

Group of 14, reservation ahead of time. 4 other tables upon arrival. 4 in group got food after all had completely finished. 1 person never even received appetizer, much less meal, even tho inquiring several times. Service sub par,Rocks margaritas very watery. Fried foods underseasoned and batter too heavy. Very disappointed. Our group monthly tries area restaurants. Won't be returning.

The seafood platter was delicious. I’ve never eaten frog legs before and they really do taste like chicken. They were cooked nice and juicy. Everything in my meal was good. I will definitely order take out again. The price is reasonable for what you get.
