We love the food and prices are reasonable. The service is good. It's right on the Mississippi River and has outdoor seating.

Great food. I suggest the char broiled oysters. My wife loved the dressing on the grilled pear salad. My son, who doesn’t eat much seafood, really loved the voodoo shrimp poboy. Been here probably a half dozen times and it’s always solid.

Had the fried catfish platter, wife had the voodoo po boy with chips. Both plates were awesome tasting. Some of the best catfish I've ever had. The filet was the size of the plate. Would highly recommend this place. The view of the river was also a plus.

We loved sitting out by the river to enjoy our food. The place was packed and we had a 15 minute wait but the food was worth it. Friendly staff with a lot of hustle. We'll be visiting again.Wheelchair accessibility: Unsure because we walked down a walkway and up some rather steep stairs.

Denied service with my service animal. The hostess told me they weren't pet friendly. I said well that's OK, she's a service animal. She rolled her eyes and didn't move to seat us. So I asked if we could be seated outside. She said no we aren't serving out there today. You could order food to go though. Um, no thanks. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance that won't deny me service. Very disappointed as I had been looking forward to eating here as I had only ever been to the Broadway Oyster Bar location.

I urge you to re-consider dining here as the service was poor and the menu does not reflect the food you recieve. We came to this resturaunt to celebrate Good Friday. We started with an apetizer of Calamari to share. There was only 1/2 cup of calamari, and the rest was fried brocolli and peppers. This addition of vegetables was not listed in the menu, it tasted fine, but for the price of $15 I was expecting a plate of just calamari. We then ordered Fried Fish dinners, the menu had listed that the only side option is redbeans and rice (a dish that is typically vegeterian). When the food came out, it was a singular fish fillet (which was tasty) and a huge side of redbeans and rice filled with pork and meat (this was not listed in the menu). When I wasked the waitress if we can get a replacement side as we cannot eat this for religious purposes, she was extremely rude and refused to help us she offered us to purchase additional sides, but did not help us resolve the issue that we were not expecting this type of side that we cannot eat due to the religious holiday. When it was time for the check to come out, I asked her if it were possible to take off the price of a side of redbeans and rice as there was nowhere on the menu that described it as a meat containing dish. She took off a total of $2, and after I handed her my card, the recipt she brout me back jumped back up to the origional price. I was scammed by going here, once piece of fish is not worth $17 and 1/2 cup of calamari is cheaper at any other resturant you can find. The service was subpar, and although the food was great, it seems like the management is more concerned with making money than taking care of their customers.
