We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer, it came with 4. There was no dipping sauce for it but the charbroiled taste was good. I would not order this again.
Ordered the crab and corn bisque, this was excellent.
Ordered the whole shebang, this was great. Seafood gumbo good.
Ordered fried shrimp platter. It was good.
Ordered the seafood Augratin. This could have been better. Instead of a milk cheese sauce it tasted like straight cheese. Had the right amt of seasoning but couldn’t stomach so much cheese. Augratin is usually my fav.
The Resturant was packed but we didn’t have to wait at all. Server was great and food out quickly. It was very loud which usually don’t bother me however it did bother my husband. It’s not somewhere you would go for an intimate date but wasn’t bad.
Parking was kind of crazy, but lots of options.
It’s definetly worth a try.
Oysters were not cold, which was off putting, and very small. They had placed two small/medium oysters around the ring to give the impression of a nice array, but that did not work. It required 2 oysters to fill a small cracker. Very disappointing.
Next came the salad. Order ceaser with no croutons, which it did not come with. A surprising and not welcome addition of tomatoes were there, but thats not a big deal. Parm was on par with Kraft shakeable and dressing was heavily rationed.
Next came main, New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Guys this is where the coaster comes in. Shrimp were a perfect size and the sauce will blow your socks off. Came with two pieces of bread perfect for mopping up what sauce was left. This was so delicious it made me forget about the salad….Sadly not the infant oysters.
All in all it was a neat place to visit, but bring your wallet and be prepared for ups and downs.
For the main dishes, we got “The Whole Shebang,” which came with stuffed shrimp, shrimp, catfish, and gumbo. Super tasty and a good mix of everything. We also tried the BBQ shrimp platter with a salad. The only thing I didn’t love was the salad having a little too much dressing, but other than that, the meal was solid.
Overall, good food, good atmosphere, and worth checking out if you’re in the mood for some seafood.
If you’re ever in the area, you’ve got to check it out!
Unfortunately, this visit was the worst dining experience we’ve had anywhere in recent memory. Here are some of the frustrating details:
• Arrived at 12:02 PM, quoted a 10-minute wait
• Received “table ready” text at 12:11 PM and were seated by 12:13 PM
• Placed our order immediately (Atchafalaya, Shrimp/Crawfish/Crab Pasta, and Pontchartrain) because we were in the middle of a long road trip.
What followed was nearly an hour with no entrees, empty water glasses, and uncleared salad and soup plates/bowls. A nearby table of eight people was screaming, cursing loudly, telling highly inappropriate stories, and dominating the entire dining room with their behavior. They also had young children at their table. Multiple after-church families looked visibly uncomfortable, yet no staff or manager ever approached the group or acknowledged the disruption.
When we finally asked about our food 50 minutes after we ordered it our server replied, “That’s on the kitchen, I haven’t been back there.” At that point we immediately asked to have everything boxed to-go. Our driver literally ate the Atchafalaya out of the to-go box in under two minutes while we waited for the itemized receipt. The rest was eaten in the car.
The food itself, as always, was phenomenal. But the extreme delay, complete lack of communication or service recovery, and the unchecked disruptive behavior from another party ruined the experience. The management clearly needs to address training, kitchen efficiency, and how rowdy tables are handled, especially on a Sunday around families.
We’ll still stop again if we aren’t in a hurry because the food is that good, but today was genuinely frustrating.
