As chef Sunny Gerhart puts it: It’s a little nod to New Orleans, but it’s not any sort of traditional New Orleans menu. It’s not New Orleans deconstructed, either. The menu here reflects a decidedly Southern, by way of New Orleans, interpretation of North Carolina seafood — Creole spices and flavors enliven the bounty of Southern farmers, oyster beds and fishers.
Raw & roasted oysters take center stage on a curated menu of New Orleans–inspired fare.

Reviews
The happy hour 6 oysters for $9 tasted great. We got 6 dozen! I don’t care for fried saltines but the mignonette was perfect.
Our waiter was wonderful; she recommended a delicious cocktail, was very personable, and knowledgeable about the fare.
The gumbo, I felt, was incredibly small for $14 and tasted more like a meat stew.
The food and drinks were so good. I got the Harvest mule to drink. I really liked the pumpkin spice and ginger flavors in the drink. We started with the boudin arancini and wow! I didn’t expect it to be one giant arancini, but it was delicious. It had a nice kick and was like nothing I’ve had before. For my main entree, I got the calabash platter with fried shrimp. I don’t like fried pickles and they let me get an extra hush puppy instead. The fried shrimp and fries were both great. I liked the aioli with the fries. The one miss for me was the hush puppies. They were kind of dry and didn’t have a lot of flavor.
Service was fantastic. Our main waitress came around often enough, and other staff came around to clear things/check on things too.
All around this is a great place and I will definitely be back to try more!
One of the main downsides is the location of this place next to the sketchy bus station. If you park in the parking lot closest to the location you need to walk through the bus station and it always feels very unsafe. I would park further away to avoid the walk through that area, especially at night.
If you’re a peach lover, I highly recommend the Stonefruit Mule. Perfect to sip on while waiting for food or even to wrap up the evening.
I can’t say I’m an expert on oysters by any means. This being said, these oysters were phenomenal. Each one I tried had a bit of a different flavor and tasted phenomenal. Side note: I even heard a few customers found pearls in their oysters which is something I’ve never seen at an oyster joint before.
Last, but surely not least, the beignets. Their smell alone had me drooling and the taste had me wanting more. (Shout out to a local who recommended I try them!)
Highly recommend stopping by for drinks, oysters, or an entire meal!
The service and atmosphere were both excellent, and I loved the music selection (need to get ahold of that playlist!). We’ll definitely be back — thank you for a great experience!
