Reviews
For the entre we had the Taterfish, Redfish which was supposed to be encrusted in hash browns topped with a light lemon sauce. The hash browns were only on the bottom and were charred a little too much. Served with Grilled Asparagus not a great way to cook as the tops were burnt. The redfish was wonderful but wished it has a little more sauce.
Dessert was Bread Pudding – the to glaze and ice cream were fantastic but could not overcome the burnt bread pudding. Asked the server and she said that’s how they serve it. The restaurant replaced it with an order to go which I enjoyed at home unburnt. It was a little dense and delicious!
Ordered the Coping Mechanism cocktail and it was really good… I ordered a second. Smooth, well-balanced, and strong without being overpowering.
For my entrée, I tried their Daily Dozen special Cajun surf and turf blackened shrimp pasta (they only make 12 of these a day, which I thought was a cool concept). This was surprisingly the star of the night.
It came with a steak that was originally prepared medium rare, but I don’t do medium rare. They were accommodating, cooked it more to medium well, and even sliced it up so it could finish cooking to my liking. I appreciated that extra effort.
The pasta itself was really good. I can’t fully describe the sauce but it had depth and flavor without being heavy. The blackened shrimp had this slightly charred, almost BBQ-style flavor that worked really well with the dish.
Service was great. My server was friendly and attentive. I mentioned it was my birthday and that I’d already been drinking since the day before (lol), and she surprised me with a crème brûlée even after I said I was too full to eat anything else. That was a really thoughtful touch.
When we arrived, there were several large parties dining at the same time (a group of 30, another of 20, and one with 10+ people), which resulted in a long wait for both our appetizer and our main dishes. While we completely understand that large groups take time to prepare for and that kitchen delays can happen, the extended wait naturally sets an expectation that food will be handled carefully.
My mom ordered the Chicken and Waffles, and when she cut into the waffle, she immediately noticed a dark hair baked directly into it. We flagged down one of the waitresses right away, who agreed that this was absolutely not okay. Shortly after, our waitress came over, and we showed her the issue.
Both waitresses were very kind, professional, and accommodating throughout the situation. They offered to remake the entire plate, but by that point, the experience had already lost its wind, so we asked for boxes to take the remainder of our food home instead. My mom’s meal was comped, which we appreciated.
I want to be very clear that this was not the fault of our waitress or the floor staff; they handled everything appropriately and with care. The issue was clearly with the kitchen. Still, for a first-time visit, waiting an extended amount of time only to find hair baked into a dish is extremely off-putting and hard to overlook.
Overall, this wasn’t the experience we had hoped for, and after everything, we’re not sure we will be returning.
The ambiance was just as good as the food. It has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, eat well, and lose track of time in the best way.
The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything about the experience felt smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back. If you’re in Buda and looking for great food and a fun atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth the visit.
The Calamari was exceptionsl. Large portion and very tender. The Fried Green tomatoes were good but I found a red one that slipped in. They were topped with chilled shrimp doused with a remoulade sauce.
The gumbo was more watery than I like and had much more celery, onions, and bell peppers than seafood. The crawfish were the tiniest I have ever seen and very sparingly added.
One friend ordered the meatloaf ( in a Cajun seafood restaurant)? It actually was pretty good. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.
The server seemed to have had too much coffee or something. The ambiance is warm and inviting.
$138 for 3 people at happy hour. The happy hour menu online Aug 2025 is inaccurate. The items and prices do not exist.
