    Food was delicious but wait time of over an hour, no apology from server. Bar manager apologized. Bathroom smelled strongly of marijuana.

    This is our 2nd time eating here, and we love the unique food and friendly service. Our server was super friendly and enthusiastic about the food served here. We usually try the appetizer specials and this time we got the pizza rolls which were yummy and the crab dip. I didn't care for the chips with dorito like seasoning that came with the crab dip, but there was a generous serving of lump crab meat in the dip, but it was a little salty for my taste. I don't usually use salt in my food, so it's probably fine for most people. I got the filet salad and forgot to ask for dressing on the side--my bad. Again, a little too much dressing for my taste. Husband had the shrimp and grits which were excellent. The shrimp was tender and large and the dish came with some grilled fresh corn kernels on the side which elevated the dish. Nice assortment of desserts which were large enough to share with another person. I don't live close but would definitely go back again.

    From the time we walked everyone was amazinly attentive. Food was really great southern comfort. The crab cakes were the best all crab. The maque choux I would eat on everything. I did find a pearl in my oyster but I consider myself lucky that not many find. Drove over an hour for this great find and will definitely come back again.

    Food was a little too greasy but tasty. The drinks were delicious and strong enough that you only needed one to get you lit. Only thing I didn’t get the special request I wanted for my anniversary dinner. Other than that everything was delicious

    We were a party of five, celebrating my son's engagement. Kimberly greeted us on arrival and was also our server. Very professional and friendly without being overly so. All of our food was cooked well and very tasty. We will definitely return.
