I've been coming to this location for over 20 years. It's off of Route 83. They have plenty of parking. I'm always happy with their food when our family dines in. The service is great and the staff were on point.
When you enter in the place it's dark and you feel like you're in New Orleans. You can hear the jazz music playing and Cajun food passing you by and they have a pretty big bar and plenty of seating on both sides.
We come here in special occasions, like birthdays or graduation and we also come here during Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday in February every year when we were able to, just to enjoy the atmosphere, good company and good food.
Keep in mind the food is Cajun mild to spicy so if you don't want the Creole spices, you can always ask them to adjust they're very accommodating with our family as a couple of us are very sensitive to spicy foods. Try fresh garlic and butter with lemon that is what my mom likes.
Our favorites are the drinks they don't skim on the alcohol, frozen drinks are tall glass and strong lol!
The appetizers come out hot and fresh I like their fresh half shell oysters and their fried calamari an octopus fresh and crispy. And their crab cakes love the lump crabs in there and it's not too much fillers.
They have assortment of salads but we didn't order those.
Their lunch menu is a bit different like if you enjoy polenta they only serve that during lunch, not dinner. I've heard good things about their polenta. I will have to go back there again and try during lunch. Like Po Boy sandwiches yummy.
We like the gumbo, a nice size bowl and very hearty. Sometimes they have a special like clam chowder. Thick and hearty.
We typically order the following main dishes:
TEXAS REDFISH PONTCHARTRAIN
Pan-grilled redfish, lump crab, shrimp, brown-butter wine sauce, dirty rice
(it's so good. The fish is light and flaky)
WILD-CAUGHT AMERICAN RED SNAPPER & JUMBO CRAB
Grilled snapper, jumbo lump crab, lemon herb butter, toasted almonds, sautéed spinach
ATLANTIC SALMON ALEXANDER
Blackened salmon, shrimp, scallops, crawfish, white wine cream sauce, dirty rice
FILET MIGNON
Baked potato, broccolini
AGED BEEF RIBEYE
Baked potato
LIVE MAINE LOBSTER
Steamed lobster by the pound, melted butter, linguine pasta
KEY LIME PIE
Graham cracker pecan crust
CREME BRÛLÉE
Fresh berries, whipped cream
We've always dined in and never had a bad experience...
However we had issues with our "one time" take out order recently. It was an order for family who flew in to visit and wanted seafood nearby but due to how busy the restaurant was on a Saturday night and my uncle in a wheelchair, I chose to order take out and we ate with my family who stayed in a nearby hotel. So after providing feedback management did a great job taking care of us for our next visit since we have been loyal customers of this establishment for over 20+ years. They did a great job handling my feedback and I'm glad they are still around in our area!
Overall I will come back here again. However, make sure that you come early if you want the dining experience, I promise it's worth checking it out!
If you have a bigger party, I believe you can make a reservation give them a call!
