This is the kind of place you know you are going to enjoy when you first open the door. I was greeted with wonderful aromas, sounds of laughter, and warm air (it was cold outside). I was also quickly seated. Another thing quickly noted about this place is the plentiful quantity of service staff and their presence. They were always on the move.
The person taking my order was friendly, helpful, and had a smile on her face. I ordered the boudin balls and Arkansas gumbo. The boudin balls had a nice, crispy outer shell and a warm, soft interior. There was a tasty dipping sauce included with those.
The gumbo was hearty. There were hunks of andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp along with an assortment of vegetables in there. The gumbo was accompanied with a bread-like Mexican cornbread muffin.
The selection of starters allowed me room for a slice of the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. Such a wonderful presentation that I hated to spoon off a bite, but I overcame that quickly. It had such a smooth texture and good flavor.
There’s an electric selection of art in the restaurant which fits perfect with the atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit and will plan to return soon.

I was disappointed in the oysters I got. Didn’t taste fresh. Also, the fish n chips were fried too long, and the fish was dry. Service was good, very fast, friendly, and attentive. Bloody mary was good. It’s was very busy, and the crew on staff were working very hard and still remained friendly under pressure, which is impressive to me. I would return here, but I would probably order something different next time.

Just in fort Smith for the night and had dinner here. Wife had the crab and shrimp boil. I had the pecan crusted walleye and it was delicious! Highly recommend starting with the hush puppies.

The food has never disappointed. The drinks are delicious, atmosphere and staff are both welcoming. Today I had a seafood chowder accompanied by a jalapeño cornbread muffin. I enjoyed two Mardi Gras Voodoo Punches. I am including photos from a recent visit also. Check their Facebook page for off the menu specials.

This is a great oyster bar. The oysters were delicious and tasted fresh. Cheesy grills were also wonderful. The walleye was lightly breaded and crispy. It was a large portion and it was some of the best my wife has tasted. The banana pudding finished off the evening well.

What an amazing experience!
For starters, the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone including the staff seemed to be enjoying themselves.
I wish I could remember our servers name but she was amazing. We had our 1 year old and while we were ordering he got kind of fussy, she asked if she could hold him so we could order. Of course we said yes as he seemed to like her (full of smiles). He had a blast walking around with her and other guests enjoyed it too. She was amazing 20/10. Loved her.
The food was delicious. I got the crawfish étouffée and it was delicious! My husband got the crawfish burger and it looked amazing and he said it tasted great. We just got sides for our son and he seemed to love it as well!
Overall, an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!

It’s… Okay. Not the best and definitely not the worst. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere is great with the outdoor patio and bar like scene. I got the shrimp and grits. It’s delicious. I just feel like it’s missing something on the grits. I’ll definitely be back for sure.

I really wasn’t that impressed with this place after reading the reviews I was expecting better. Our service was good, but the food was a little slow getting out. It was pretty busy I will say though I think there was a wait for a table. We dined with 6 of us and the consensus was the food really wasn’t that good. The only one who had anything positive to say was the one who got the mahi mahi. The oysters were pretty good. All in all I’m not sure if I’d go back or if I did I’d have to try to different menu item. The crab cakes were delicious.

Can’t say enough about Destiny and Katie – the hospitality is out of this world, the food is delicious and although it’s been half a year since my last visit, they actually remembered me?! The staff as a whole is great, the atmosphere is homey and quaint while still having that rustic finish. Fantastic as it was last time, next time I’ll spend more time here and buy the kitchen a round!
Blackened Catfish with crayfish etouffee was stellar yet again and still recommend it.
