My first time visiting this Restaurant and I ordered the 16oz Seafood Gumbo and it is delicious. My compliments to the Chef/Cook. The Woman who took my order was very pleasant, courteous, helpful and kept a beautiful smile on her face the whole transaction. Great prices too. I will be visiting again real soon. I found a new Seafood place and it's not far from my home at all. (I put it in my own container when I got home.)
Omfg.......why don't they have a 7 star option?! ????
Really though, this was a really great experience!
LoLo was incredible!
She served up some really yummy food. I would definitely be coming back!
If you walk in to order be Prepared to WAIT for it....this is food made with care and it will take a min to get it ready. If you need to "in n out" Y'all better use online ordering ????
She said next year '24 they should start having a live band in the back and I'm all for it.
This place made my tummy so so soooo happy. I can't wait to return for more, imma be ordering 90% of the things off the menu till I find the BEST dish to make my recommendation. So far though.....that Mac n cheese and brisket is FIRE. Stop by and try it.
The worst part was the chicken hot link. It taste like lighter fluid or gasoline. I couldn’t eat it. The ribs and bbq beans didn’t have smoked flavor just lots of bbq sauce. The greens were good and the Mac and cheese was cool. The red beans and rice didn’t have any flavor. The fried chicken wings were amazing! The seafood gumbo taste more tomato based then a trinity rue, not bad but not what I was expecting. The cornbread pancake was good. The blue bayou drink taste like sour kool aid. The strawberry lemonade was a bit tart. The service was good. The staff were nice and accommodating. The decor was nice as well.
I'm a very picky person when it comes to food. So, with that being said. I must say, I liked everything on my plate. The catfish was perfectly seasoned and cooked! Definitely will be going back!!

Had recently visited New Orleans and needed something in the SoCal area to scratch that itch. Had the seafood gumbo and a shrimp po'boy with mac and cheese. The owner was lovely and incredibly nice. Food did take a bit of time but so worth it. The shrimp in the po'boy was well seasoned and had amazing flavor. The gumbo was phenomenal as well, packed with everything you'd expect giving you a nice warm fuzzy feeling after eating it. Mac and cheese was great too, rich in flavor. Will drive up from OC to eat here again soon.
Ordered through uber eats gumbo small smothered cabbage potato salad all was was not good gumbo no flavor potato salad soupy/ cabbage hard unedible I wasted my money on this never again. Fortunately I was able ti get a refund and throw that nasty food away.
Oxtails are good and juicy with a dash of spice here coming back for more
