My wife and I recently returned from a trip to New Orleans, so we decided to eat here. I must say that the food here was as good as what we had in New Orleans, maybe better. We ordered the jambalaya, gumbo, shrimp étouffée, alligator, fried green tomatoes, and muffaletta, and washed it all down with an Abita Andygator Cajun beer. Everything was delicious! Our compliments to owner and chef Chad for the delectable cuisine!

Day trip in Capitola, wanted good food, came here and was not disappointed! I wanted Cajun food because I’m going to New Orleans in a few weeks. The hardest part was deciding what to order, everything on the menu sounded amazing. Food was delicious, cute decor, and really nice service. Also, easy parking. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Best Po’ Boy sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the fried oyster and the Jambalaya.
I came here because I’m vacationing with my dog and the BringFido app said they are dog friendly. The food is great and they’re people friendly, too. I highly recommend this place. Great New Orleans atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back if I find myself in this area again. Thanks for the great experience, Roux Dat!

Came in for the po boy and jambalaya . Ordered 1/2 shrimp 1/2 oysters and got a $5 up charge for “double protein”. It wasn’t double anything. The shrimp were good but the oysters were tiny and burnt to a crisp, maybe that’s why they were tiny? The bread was stale.
The jambalaya was OK but just lukewarm, that was kind of worrysome.
The inside was dirty, trash overflowing, outside was better.
Regret our lunch here, “can’t win them all”, someone said.

What a great cozy place for some Cajun food. Red beans and rice, Catfish and Gumbo. Gotta add the cornbread too. Oh my….so good. All the classics and made to order fresh. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Restaurant was very clean.

Something for everyone here! This place is a new favorite spot. Full of flavor, made in house, fresh and tasty. Southern comfort food without too much guilt. Their Gumbos, Jambalaya, and Stews are heavenly. The best part, is that you can choose 2 different kinds on one plate. Parted by a bed of rice, adorned with a New Orleans version of garlic bread. It’s all so good.
Their po-boys are super on point. Shrimp is my husband’s favorite. Full of complexities in texture and bursting with cajun flavors. They have a nice variety of hot sauces to dip fries, fried pickles, or to add a kick to your food. My favorite is the ‘Slap Ya Mama’ hot sauce – it’s fire. Their fries are crispy, thin and delicious.
Dessert wise, their Beignets are made fresh to order. They come piping hot, served with a simple sugar icing to dip into. Or, you could try and fill one with the sugar icing, it just gets super messy in the end 🙂 They come in a bag, about 5 per order.
They have a great seating space outside for when the weather permits. Inside, comfortably sit at the tables or along the bar table where you can view outside.
Very friendly employees. They offer excellent recommendations and descriptions. Definelty worth checking out. Prices are reasonable at $10.95 for stews and $12.50 for Po-BoysYou can get Bloody Mary’s, beer and wine here too!

Native of Lafayette, Louisiana and found this place to be very similar in taste to Louisiana food. They have both Creole (tomato based) and Cajun (roux based) dishes. I gave it four stars because the sausage wasn’t andouille as advertised and the king cake should have been warmed up. But overall, I’d go back and eat again!

The Alligator Po’ Boy was very tasty and well seasoned, complete with Beer-battered Onion rings, the meal arrived on time and was Out Of This World! A nice place to get affordable and time-honored Creole cuisine made with just the right spices. Well done! I appreciate your effort and dedication to incredibly delicious food made to order.

What a legit Creole restaurant with Abita beer and Cafe Du Monde coffee is doing in a Capitola strip mall is beyond me, but I’m certainly not complaining. Give this place your business so that they can move to a better venue, such as a grungy bar, where they can really thrive. Seriously the food is good. Eat here.
