What Our Customers Say

“ It's not very often I can have creole food where I'm from, so I definitely wanted to try this place out. They pride on wanting to be a middle ground for everyone no matter what you are hankering for, and I can happily report that this does not mean a middle ground on flavor. Excellent jambalaya, wonderfully creamy coleslaw and the brown sugar sauce with the sweet potatoes was perfect. Fried pickles had a great tartness to them and were nice and crunchy without being too overbearing on the breading. The price is very reasonable as well, $12 for the jambalaya and sides. Makes me wonder who in their right mind would grab a combo at Hardee's for the same price when this place is right across the street! Jathan was an awesome server and was a great person to talk to, and helped inform me on the next restaurant I plan to visit. Overall a wonderful visit and more should definitely check this one out! ”

Grayson May

“ This was our first visit and they did not disappoint. The server's were excellent and very friendly. My wife had the crab boil and was blown away with the flavor and portions. I had the shepherds pie with onion rings and Mac & cheese. The shepherds pie was fantastic. Onion rings are super crispy & the Mac & Cheese was spot on. We would definitely recommend. ”

Melissa Taylor

“ Ya’ll when I tell you this place is a breath of fresh air! Everything I tasted was so so good! I’ve been DYING for a seafood boil and as soon as I heard that this was offered I didn’t need anymore convincing to try this restaurant. Our waiter was fantastic and had plenty of suggestions. The seafood boil was delicious and the sauce it came in was flavorful. My fiancé had the meatloaf and I had a bite and the flavor was immaculate! Please go down and try it you won’t regret it! ”
