Absolutely terrible service and over priced nasty food. Thankfully my 2 year old liked what I ordered bc the girl tried to bring her Mac and cheese 20 mins after we got our food…

This place is super awesome and special. I went there last week after coming out of a movie and they had karaoke happening. It just started and I was super excited to find out that even friday from 7p-10p they will be doing Karaoke!!! I had so much fun! The waitresses there are super friendly and super kind. They have $5 dollar drinks that I have enjoyed! My favorite is the frozen hurricane. So far I have tried an appetizer called Chicken potsticker and fried shrimp and fries and they were all pretty good! If you are looking for something to do or just a place to hang out on a Friday night, this is the place!!!

Staff was excellent Crawfish were fantastic and extra hot is exactly that. Great flavor with the garlic butter seasoning. I will definitely come back.

The gumbo was tasty. The fried pickles were great. The food was plentiful and good. Needs more help. Staff was always busy. Took a while for drinks to arrive. Good for couples, family and friends. Some items on menu were not available. Staff was friendly.

Great place to eat. The crawfish was awesome and very attentive staff.

I previously wrote a review, and the GM asked for me to call him. (I knew we were going to Abby’s for date night this evening) So of course I called bc my picture is posted on my profile. After laughing, joking, and talking about the pandemic causing the whole city to be short staffed, Tommy offered to make the next visit better. And boy did he keep his word. It was a slow night, so we got to talk more, talk about Valentine’s Day specials ??& much more. Tommy thank you for fixing the concerns I had, and for the hospitality tonight. Can’t wait to make this our regular spot because I will never go back to the wack shack again. ♥️

You know food is "EXCELENT" when your wanting it as soon as your done!!!! Gumbo is EXCELENT!!! Dirty Rice was light ,fuffy not sticky and Hella Good! the Shrimp and fishHad a panko breading a nice change from corn meal & beer batter and was clean and delicious as well!! I had this for lunch but would gladly drive out of my way to have it again!!! And again and again!!! Well worth the price!

Went on 1/15, A Saturday night. They were slow, had maybe 3 other tables, drinks took 20 minutes, and weren’t offered water or anything upon waiting. Service was meh, but the server was young so we cut him slack. Too much lime syrup/flavor in the frozen drinks, including the Dream-sickle, Found a fruit fly in another drink and returned and the bartender seemed like he just hated being there. Food was great, but took over 45 minutes to arrive. 3 stars overall, mostly for the food.

3 STRIKES, YOUR OUT! This is the third time in a row we waited for food to come out and watched food come out for people that arrived well after us. Then part of my husband’s food came out, still no food for me. Server brought out my food and order was wrong, sent back. My food finally came out, the rest of my husband’s never did. Some of bill was comped, apologizes received but that seems to be standard. Won’t be coming back. To bad cuz the food is decent.

I had the second mate with extra 1lb shrimp abbys Cajun seasoning mild and our appetizers were crab cakes and dozen shucked oysters. The food was delicious and had great flavors, and the spice was on point. The customer service was amazing he was helpful and attentive.
