Damn, I really love this place. This is our 9th or 10th time to eat here. The past 2 times have been really bad. No refills, served us dishes that were missing parts per description in menu, and waited 20 min for our check to get out. It was us and 2 other small parties in restaurant, so being busy was not the problem. The owner left for the evening and the 2 waiters disappeared to the back. Really sux because it's the only creole restaurant we enjoy. We're from Louisiana and miss the food from the south, so it was nice finding legit cuisine that represents the south.

I think this place has a lot of potential. I'd like to help. I had the platter with catfish and shrimp and red beans and rice. Overall I think the food is better than the Cajun restaurant downtown, but still pretty bland, not super flavorful which was disappointing.The lettuce underneath the catfish reminded me of eating a big Mac. Just take it away. The catfish itself was pretty good but there was a lack of depth with the flavor of pretty much everything I ate. But honestly with a few simple changes this place could be really good. I loved the sweet potato fries and okra. The first thing I would do if I suddenly became in charge of this place, is replace the menu. The menu is the worst thing about this place. Hard to read, too much going on, the poor waiter had to explain the menu to us and several other tables. The messy menu was a huge turn off for us. I do plan to come back, and hopefully I will be more impressed with the pasta dishes which did sound really good.

If you’re from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas or Arkansas; chances are you had a place like this near your house growing up. Food was spot on and the gumbo is phenomenal. Owner came out to talk to each table which was a great touch to the meal. Cheers!Kid-friendliness: Good options for children and even better if you have an adventurous eater.

Awesome food with wonderful New Orleans spices. Rarely can you find an authentic flavor so far from Louisiana. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so be sure either make a reservation or arrive early.

Meh... Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Service was sloooooooooooow. Red beans and rice were bland. Shrimp etouffee had a ton of shrimp, but also lacked flavor. $13 for a 3-in by 3-in piece of bread pudding was a disappointment. Definitely not worth the 40-minute drive.

It was okay, very slow service, we had to flag our server down a couple of times and the dinner crowd wasn't there just yet. We heard lots of good things, so we did the 40 minute drive up to check it out. We probably won't go out of our way to eat here again. Reasonable prices, good-sized portions, for decent, but not WOW Cajun food. Shrimp etouffee had TONS of shrimp which bumped up a star in food, but the red beans and rice were bland. We finished with the bread pudding made with croissants, which was rather mediocre, flat, and very sweet. Surprisingly it was a ridiculously high price for such a tiny piece in comparison to the rest of the menu. All in all, an okay place if you live close by. Tiny place and limited seating that fills up quickly, so def make reservations. Bar is big and serves food, which was relatively empty while we were there.

The food and drinks were delicious. Loved the live music! Bread pudding tasted incredible. I loved the rum sauce with nuts and raisins in the bread.
