An unfortunate experience. The service was amazing, polite staff and quick food arrival. But that barely accounts for the food. Ordered the crawfish and gumbo. When ordering the gumbo, it comes with a warning, and for good reason. It's cooked with crab shells. Sharp bits of crab shell. Unless you're an adrenaline junkie, continuing to eat it would only be suicide. As an avid amateur cook of Creole cuisine as well, I found the "gumbo" barely qualified to be called that. Despite this lethal variant, it failed to contain some essential gumbo ingredients like flour and celery, so the result is the brown jalapeño water with crab shells that is their gumbo. In their defense, the staff told me afterward that this was a poor batch when I returned the bowl, and didn't add it to the bill. Overall, unfortunate given the lack of good Cajun food in the area.

This restaurant is amazing, coming from a Baton Rouge native...it's pretty authentic. I am a weekly patron of this restaurant

I have hesitated from reviewing this location, because I like to see small businesses succeed; but the food is average tasting at best.

I would come here for the fried green beans and turkey legs alone. The oysters were fresh and tasted like some delicious ocean goodness. They did a great job of not overbattering like you'll see in a lot of TX based LA style cooking restaurants. The crawfish had a good spice to them but I wasn't sweating. 10/10 would munch again.

Great portion size, never had a bad meal. Great staff.

The food was ok. The place was really empty for a Friday night at 6 pm.

Was referred by my best friend who is from New Orleans. The food was pretty good for the most part. Our blue crab was a bit salty though. The place is super clean and the staff is very friendly.

Our first time there and I loved the Gumbo shells and all. It gave it flavor. We also had some crawlfish, shrimp, and snow crab. I asked for butter but got this garlic butter which I did not care for. I wish these seafood eateries would just provide straight butter with lemon, so simply. I will recommend this to my friends

Enjoyed my patton hot sausage poboy, turkey necks and potatoes tonight. It was extra spicy I guess but I survived. The people are friendly. I recommend it!

I will not be back! The crab legs weren’t that great, the shrimp was hard to peel and their sauce... no bueno! The only item I really enjoyed was the fried green beans. Sorry!
Love the service, and the variety of fresh raw oysters selections. You can buy them individually, half dozen or by the dozen.

No other way to say this but TERRIBLE! They had posted on Facebook that they would be showing a FREE PPV fight Shawn Porter vs Errol Spence. I not only called to confirm I sent a messenger text on Facebook asking. They told me yes on the phone and on the messenger reply. Ok what is the old saying " you get what you pay for"? It is a Saturday night and once we get there 4 other people are there. We choose seats and order. I had a warm Bud light , and wife some type of red frozen drink. We then ordered light food to begin. I CLEARLY told waitress I wanted 6 piece ALL FLATS, 3 sauced, 3 boom boom I think they called them, wife ordered gumbo. The prelims which where being shown on FOX SPORTS FREE where on PRELIMS!!! After a few minutes white waitress brings our food. She has 2 baskets of DRUMS not FLATS and it was about 10, but I ordered 6 ALL FLATS. She said that was all that was left so they gave me a few more, nice offer but I don't like drums. Maybe check before filling order? I bit down on the sauced ones and had a bitter garlic taste, and after eating 2 of them I tried the non sauced and it was so hard fried I stopped before I chipped a tooth!! My wife found a piece of shell in her gumbo and stopped after 2 spoons. If you read a few other real reviews someone else mentioned ( Cliff J) shells in the gumbo. My wife said it was rather sharp!! But ok we still will watch the main event for FREE and just chalk it up. Only for white hostess to tell us time to cash out they where about to close. I said SO YOU ARE NOT SHOWING THE PPV? She goes ask either manager or owner ( guy in red tshirt) comes back and says NO we are closing. We had called 2 other couples to meet us to watch fight there. I rush and call them tell them never mind. We leave and go to sports bar by mall, 6 of us watch fight $5 ea which was very fair and we spend $132 on food and drinks and leave a $30 tip. The food was much better, the beer was ice cold. I contact the manager he tells me they showed fight it was a misunderstanding and he wondered why we left?? He offered 10% discount. GTFOOH you will be out of business in 6 months ! Nobody there on a Saturday night in Frisco to go along with terrible food and service? 1 star review is 2 stars too many!!! I

I came here from New Orleans to try this place out and it was good. We asked the worker to pick out the oysters for us. I don't remember what type but it was two different types of east coast oysters. They were good. The charbroil oysters taste just like back home.
