Best experience. I've been here multiple times but I feel like it does not get enough attention. The food is amazing always has been!!! I got the Jumbo garlic shrimp and my mother got the Spicy crawfish extremely delicious. The Manager is Amazing very attentive with customer service. Server Jennifer was great. Apparently they now serve Pho and other dishes that weren't available before. Price is reasonable. I'm baffled by the amount of people who dont know how awesome this place is. It is a definite must try. Kid/family friendly. Great music. Please check this wonderful place out!

We stopped by this Cajun spot last minute and were pleasantly surprised! We had crawfish, oysters, fried rice, and wings—all fresh and flavorful. They gladly accommodated our request for mixed sauce and all flats on the wings, which was nice. Great service and tasty food—we’d happily come back!

We have come here many times for crawfish, and it is ALWAYS delicious. We get the wild Cajun seasoning, my bf gets extra extra spicy, and I'm a medium girl. We love getting the potatoes and corn with it, we do miss the red potatoes, but we still enjoy what they serve now. Corn is always so juicy and flavorful! Crawfish are always good size during peak season time and delicious. The servers/owners are always polite and take good care of us. This is our only spot for crawfish! Will always keep coming back!
