This location has a large, open, free parking lot. Calm atmosphere, a fully stocked bar that also has a decent wine selection. The food was okay. I ordered the garlic shrimp platter. My green beans and broccoli were served cold. The garlic bread was hard but the shrimp was really good. The shrimp diablos were good but when they say topped with grilled onions, they meant buried in grilled onions. They were good though. The waitress was polite and attentive. The atmosphere was overall calm with decent music playing.

Had some family from out of town, I was hyping this place up and they failed in everyway. The waitress was unprofessional and messed up on our order multiple times. I asked for 2 orders of spring rolls so everyone could try them and only 1 order came out then when I asked wheres the other one she just looked at me like I was wrong and then asked well do you still want them. Our food came out before our drinks and the food came out 15mins apart per dish for a 4 top. Then one of the dishes was completely wrong and not what we ordered. Had to wait another 10min for silverware then it took a good 20mins just for then to take my card to pay, Then the waitress comes in smelling like a cigarette after we asked to pay so we can leave. Yes it was kinda busy but not to the point of the type of service we got.

All the fried food we ordered, frog legs, fried shrimp, popcorn shrimp and fried oysters were flavorless and overcooked. My son had to vomit after eating a small portion of his food. The crawfish and raw oysters were decent, but nothing good or great. The service was excellent. Overall, it was a disappointing birthday dinner.

I would like to update my review after a recent event I experienced with this restaurant. I was charged by doordash for an order that was never made or received due to the store being closed and a glitch in the third party system. But once I was able to speak directly with the manager and GM. They very promptly and graciously took care of the situation. I appreciate their great customer service and accountability when the fault was on the third party. They can go back to being my favorite doordash order. But definitely will be placing my salt and pepper special orders by phone from now on

Mae at the bar was outstanding and the fresh oysters were wonderful. I am although appalled at the manager’s attire. One day she’s stressing like she’s looking for a date and the next she’s like a break dancer, in sweats and a cap. Not the attire I would take seriously if I had a problem to discuss. She prances around and makes herself or to be overly important.

This was an amazing experience! Despite being short staffed, Taylor (I believe is his name) was amazing! I mean he was really killing it. Hands down best experience I’ve had at any oyster bar! The women’s bathroom was also VERY CLEAN. No complaints!!!

My beautiful friend and I stopped by this establishment thinking we would be rocked by the food. The only thing that rocked us was the oyster and the water.
We ordered the oyster po boy, but it seems the chefs wanted to be some poor boys and was cheap on the fried oysters. We got a whole two oysters in our po boys. The hush puppies was quite lacking in flavor and seems like it was bought from dollar general or some sort. The “gumbo” was absolutely garbage and it had a lot of mystery fish in it.
We also ordered the drunken sailors, and it seems like the sailor was really drunk, because the food came out with a terrible presentation. Also, the seafood was over cooked and fishy.
We also got the combination spring rolls. The spring rolls had barely to no noodles and lacking in the shrimp and pork. It sure was a spring roll, tasted like a fresh spring day with all the vegetables that’s in it. Maybe with a little bit of freshly grass.
The only good thing there was the oysters and the cup of tap water. Don’t get anything else! Maybe the ketchup too.
Our server was cool though

Calamari was good with great flavor. We ordered the seafood boil spicy but really should of ordered extra spicy. The shrimp is not by the pound but the snow crab is. The shrimp cocktail is made with small frozen shrimp which don’t absorb the great flavor of the cocktail. I had the Tokyo oysters which were good.

Great seafood! I loved the raw oysters!
The crawfish were good but the flavour could have been better in my opinion. The gumbo was average.
Overall very nice meal if you are feeling some seafood.
They have Thai food too! Will come back to try some of those dishes!

Very good! The menu has all of your traditional American Seafood plates but there’s some Cajun and even a little bit of Thai! The Tom Yum soup is awesome! Full of flavor and seafood. Their blackened dishes are done perfectly. The steam veggies could be steamed a tad more but it’s fine. Drinks are good too… Mango Margarita not too sweet but very refreshing. Service is pretty laid back… Maybe a little too laid back but again nothing major. We’ve been here twice and have enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes are good too. Give it a try… It’s pretty good. Ask for the Green sauce… It kicks the taste of everything a notch!
