First off, the wait staff was AWESOME. I would have given Abby's more stars because of them, but that would fool people into going. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, between lunch and dinner so it was not crowded. My wife ordered a margarita and it was AWFUL. The waiter replaced it with a different drink and came back a few minutes later and said he made a small sample to try himself and it was indeed off.We ordered the calamari and grilled oysters for an appetizer. The breading on the calamari was pretty good, but the rubber bands they cooked inside them were not. But the oysters... oh my turning stomach they smelled like dirty socks. My wife ate one, I ate one, then we had to have the waitress take the platter away since my son was about to vomit from the smell.The entrees arrived a few minutes later, a Second Mate boil, blackened catfish, and a fried combo basket and they were all inedible. I can normally pack away anything and only managed three bites of catfish and a couple fries.We paid our $130 bill and left 90% of the food on the table. We were all rewarded with intestinal distress and bowel adventures the next day. 0/10 will not return.

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…

O-M-GWhat can I say! We met a local legend, I mean they have a shot named after him.These people know how to make you feel special- shoutout to Alyssa. She took care of our every need.

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 food was great and there was a lot if it. But... Didn't have items listed on menu. The staff was hustling all the time. When we arrived there were six other patrons. By the time we left 12 others had come in. Had to ask for forks. You are going to use a lot of napkins. Full bar. Lots of booths and tables. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Great staff, but... the crayfish po boy was cold bread, a couple pieces of lettuce and tomato, with fried, barely warm crayfish. Like popcorn shrimp. Mostly breading, zero sauce. $14 for mostly bread. The hush puppies also barely warm. Maybe other stuff on the menu is good. This was not!

The food here is amazing, however they could stand to hire at least one more server. The two people there that night were so nice, but very clearly overwhelmed. They had to come back to fix our orders twice, both times because of missing items from our orders. Also I understand that good seafood isn't cheap, but their prices are a bit on the high side for their portion sizes. That said everything tasted great and was cooked to perfection.

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

Went in for lunch and had a great experience. The waitress was friendly and made great conversation! I got the gumbo to start, and though I’m not a fan of chicken and sausage gumbo, it was really good. My wife got the shrimp basket and the breading was really good and the shrimp were huge. I got the crawfish boil with all the sides. Cajun seasoning and medium heat. Let me tell you, this boil was spicy. I pride myself on heat and it had my nose running. The crawfish were big and the sausage was amazing. I’d highly recommend stopping by and trying this place. We will be back.

Pretty good so far, I've ate there about 3 times since moving to Texas band I haven't had a bad meal yet. Also shout out to the waiter that went up to the ceiling to get my daughter's bday balloon. You didn't have to get it but you did anyway. If that's a testament to the quality of workers you have onsite you guys are doing all the right things. Keep up the good work and thank you again
