My husband and I eat here often. And one of my favorite things about it is that we never have to order the same thing twice, there are so many items to choose from… pasta, steak, meatloaf, wings, lamb, gumbo just to name a few. The sides do not disappoint either and let’s not forget the dessert. It is locally owned and service is amazing. The presentation of his food is picture perfect. Highly recommend for sure!!!!

I’ve only been here a few times but I have not a single bad thing to say. I ended up stopping by on Christmas after learning they were open. I spent the holiday mostly alone and wanted some comfort food. I ordered the smothered oxtails with candied yams and the tomato/okra stew. Absolutely phenomenal. A few months earlier I also tried their Louisiana fried chicken, and it was absolutely some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Those sweet potatoes were also to die for. The owner is always very nice and definitely takes pride in his food, as he should. I highly recommend this place and look forward to going back to try a LOT more of what they have to offer.

Another WOW! Didn’t let it’s unassuming looks dissuade you… Other than the atmosphere, this could be a 5 Star restaurant. The food is prepared fresh when you order it, so it takes a little time, but O so worth it!!! The flavor is absolutely amazing and the presentation is spot on. There is so much to choose from. We had the Boudin stuffed pork chop and the Crawfish Etouffe; both were amazing!! Food was a little pricey but for the quantity and quality, well worth every penny. If you are going on a lunch hour, you might want to order ahead so it will be ready when you get there. The owner was super friendly and helpful in choosing our food. I highly recommend the food here; you won’t be disappointed!

I just love love love this place. Unfortunately, I live in Colorado now, but there’s family in the area; when I come around for a visit, I eat here near every night. Everything is delicious, but my personal favorite is Blackened Catfish Orleans. My family and I came in this afternoon, and I’d intended to leave a review, with photos, but I only managed a photo of the Ponay Smothered Pork Chops because I got too excited to eat and forgot to take the other photos. The chops were real good! I’m hoping to make it back for Gumbo before heading home!

Man….The advertisement was NOT lying when they said it “tastes like Grandma’s cooking.” I asked about restaurants in the area that I can not get in other places and this place was a recommendation.
The food was made to order which allowed it to come out hot with the presentation literally making your mouth water. I met with the owner and he and I spoke about a lot of the menu options because there were so many to choose from and I became overwhelmed because I wanted to eat majority of the menu . I ordered the oxtails with sweet potatoes and macaroni and cheese and cornbread.
The Kool-Aid was great, he also had great dessert options, and so much to choose from with regular coming to get their weekly meal from him. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed selecting this venue to eat from. I am mad that he is not close to because I would see him often.
Do yourself and your stomach a favor and go treat yourself to this restaurant….

This place was awesome. It was some of the best food that I’ve ever had in my life. The owner was at the front counter, very knowledgeable about every single item that was on the menu. I could’ve gotten something that I was used to, but I opted for things that I never order. I noticed that there were no salt and pepper shakers, hot sauce or anything on the tables and that’s because you didn’t need anything on the food. Everything was seasoned to perfection, down to the way they made the Kool-Aid. if you are in Texarkana and you are looking for the best place to eat, I would suggest that you go here. The food came out hot. It was fast. The music that was planned was a vibe every single thing about this place screamed go there. I would definitely recommend this place as a top restaurant to visit in Texarkana hands-down

Huge shoutout to Bluewater bayou and thank you so much for going out your way to ensure the cake that my 7 year old legit requested haha. Our first time eating here we got this cake but as a slice and it was SOOO good. All the food has been so great thus far. So my son requested this cake for his birthday and the owner made it happen. Went out his way to make it fresh on a Friday evening because we didn’t realize they were closed Saturday which was the party day. Lemme just say, it was a huge success and literally nothing was left but one slice from the event. And that slice has been eatin’ now. Super awesome job and you have greatly blessed my family and I. Had to constantly rave and brag about you and your business. From the Jones family, THANK YOU! Would give 10 stars if I could.

I saw the reviews and thought maybe this would be a good place to eat. And I wad absolutely correct! When I got there the owner was very inviting and nice. It was genuine. The food matched all of that. He first let me sample the neck bones. They were seasoned like and tender beyond tender. I then ordered the 3-piece catfish and two 6- piece wings. The flavors I had were buffalo and creole dry rub. The buffalo had flavor but needed to be a little more spicier. This was the first time I actually creole rub wings and they tasted like they should. The catfish was seasoned and cooked absolutely great. The fries were good and the cole slaw was magnificent. They let me try samples of their punch and the Crude Oil was the best. You have to try this place I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!
