Food is terrible. Ordered catfish and shrimp and gator bites, and EVERYTHING taste completely terrible and loaded with salt. Seafood tastes like rubber and half done. Completely wasted $50

Tables are spot on. A trash can in the middle, perfect set up. Nothing worse than trying to find a place to put the shell. Food pictured shrimp rolls and Parm oysters. The rolls were good. Nothing special but appetizing. The oysters however terrible. To much cheese, no garlic flavor.

Service was terrible waiter was glued to his phone we sat there waiting for refills and for our bill until the other waiter got him he was sitting in back with his foot up. We almost has to walk up there to get his attention to pay our bill. The full broil only had 2 potatoes had 5 pieces of very slim sausage and barley and shrimp was just filled with crawfish. Was very disappointing

Got a lot of oysters on the special oyster day. Only like the raw oysters, they were big and fresh. Still keep that in mind. Wanna going back again.

I ordered $75.48 worth of food for my family on 1/16/22, online stated that the restaurant was opened so I ordered. Online order excepted my payment and took my money, I drove to the restaurant to pick up the food and the restaurant was closed. My money was refunded which takes 5-10 business days which left us with no food to eat. I waited the next day to speak to the restaurant manager for accommodations with food only to be told they can’t accommodate us with food. So I guess they think waiting 5-10 days for my money to feed my family is acceptable. Which is clearly wrong, and it was their fault, their online ordering process should’ve said unavailable upon my purchase. It was my last at the time to feed my family. Helping us out with food should’ve been the least they should’ve done, I’m a loyal customer that eat there all the time but now they’ve lost a loyal customer.

Location is clean. Fries limp. Ordered shrimp and tilapia. Tilapia was fried hard almost burnt. Shrimp was not highly seasoned. Taste bland as if the seasoned batter was old. The dipping sauce watery. Cocktail and tartar sauce watery also. Coke flat.

Arrived at 8:30 pm with a group of 3. Once an employee arrived at the hostess stand she told us it would be a 30-45 minute wait and then walked away without taking our names or putting us on a list. One person in our group had gone to the restroom when we arrived so we waited for her to come out and decide as a group if we were going to wait that long. Before she could come out another employee arrived at the hostess stand, asked for our party size, and told us it would be a 15-20 minute wait, he also did not write our name down prior to wandering off. The other member of our group came out and as we were telling her the various estimates for a table a third employee arrived at the hostess stand. She also inquired about our party size, we again said 3, and we were given a 20-30 minute wait time. She also did not take our name before walking away. My friends went to the bar to get a drink and I opted to wait by the hostess stand since even though we were the only group waiting for a table they had not written us down as being next for a table. Why are so many different people working the Hostess stand and why is there not a list?Turned out the wait for a table was less than 15 minutes and we were seated. While I understand this is a ‘Cajun’ restaurant you would think those that plan the menu would understand they may get customers that just want seafood but don’t want it spicy. That is not the case, every seafood item on the menu could only be served spicy as all of it is premade. I was left with chicken fried rice while my friends enjoyed several seafood dishes.

I really had high hopes for this place but if you are ordering the seafood boil for take out, please don't get the seafood mix. First off, the price listed on here is way lower than what we had to pay in store. Now when I got my food I was really excited because I thought the bag seemed heavy and for the price I was like that isn't bad. Once I got home and poured my food into a bowl, it was then I realized I was literally scammed. I had about 5 sausages, 5-7 shrimps, 1 tasteless corn, 2 tiny potatoes, 5 mussels, one snow crab with 4 legs and the rest of the meal was pretty much ~over 20 crawfish. If i wanted a crawfish bowl, I would have made that specific but they fill the bag with so much crawfish and little proportions on the other items to fool you. Additionally, the sauce isn't as much so it is a struggle trying to dig everything especially having all that crawfish in your way!! I tried calling to report this because I didn't want to drive back up there and obviously they turned their phone lines off. If you are in Duluth area and you are looking to spend your hard earned money on seafood that is actually worth it, please don't go here (at least don't order take-out) maybe things are actually different when you dine-in. I am really disappointed and I wish I could get a partial refund or something!!!!!
I come for the rice with chicken which is only available here a few days a month. It was fantastic- chicken was sweet, matching with ginger fish sauce. And service was great though it was a litte crowded at the time.

Ordered Shrimp and fried fish basket. It was the SALTIEST meal I ever ate. It's like they only seasoned it with salt, fried it in salt and shook some more salt on it when it was done. Giving 2 stars for the fries, at least they had some pepper on then. I doubt I return.

Food looks aesthetically pleasing but tastes horrible. Service was fast and very polite but the food just wasn't up to par.

Having been to New Orleans makes me wonder why the decor and furniture arefrom pallets. There slogan is if it’s not spicy it’s not Cajun. I orderedthe shrimp PO boy and a pound of sausage in mild butter garlic sauce.The sausage dish by itself was good but as a Cajun dish NO. The sausagetasted like polish sausage and the garlic butter was too mild. I asked formild thinking Cajun spicy would be too spicy for me. Andouille sausage is served in many Cajun restaurants but obviously not here. The PO boy tasted likethose in New Orleans!It seems like the restaurant doubles as a Vietnamese restaurant.

Good atmosphere. Fresh and tasty cajun eats!Good service. Aug. 2021..Updated extended menu to include fried chicken tender options AND some Vietnamese chicken dished. We really like the catfish pho boy. And the new chicken dishes were good as well. I had the chicken with rice. The chicken was really soft and tender. Really good stuff.
