Hidden spot in North ATX...always drive past and tell myself I'm gonna stop next time, today was that time.
Service was super friendly and my waitress Lea was a gem.
Started with shrimp gumbo cup, great full flavor and generous with the shrimps!
And finished it with Chicken Benjamin... OMG. This is just an outstanding plate. My tea glass was never less than half empty (big plus)
We ate there last night and it was delicious and the service was good! We started with the escargot and it was very flavorful! Both ordered a glass of wine which were reasonably priced and quite good. My hubby and shared the wedge salad & he had a cup of the seafood gumbo which I also sampled. Let me tell you, I'm a snob when it comes to gumbo and I was pleasantly surprised, it was probably one the best I've ever had. I had the the Quarter grill Salmon, my hubby had the Beef and Shrimp pasta. Both were delicious! Didn't have room for dessert but will defiantly have to try the bread pudding I keep hearing about! We'll be coming back for sure!
Absolutely fantastic, wow. I’ve seen this place for years but never took it serious because of the location and being next to Walmart (idk lol) but let me tell you… the food was too notch. I got the Catfish Yoli and the flavors and texture were excellent. Dessert was phenomenal as well.
I also took notice of the staff and how it seems like everyone there carries themselves with tenure. It looks live everyone is an expert at what they do.
Being from the Mississippi gulf coast I am pretty particular when it comes to this style of cuisine and overall it was 5/5.
I am looking forward to coming again! I also loved how once you step inside you’re in a whole new world, you don’t notice the area that you’re in or any of the traffic/road noise.
This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! I got the catfish gumbo plate with vegetables and red beans and rice. I haven’t ever been to Louisiana and gotten Cajun food, but I would like to think this is pretty close to Louisiana authentic.

Decided to try this place for the first time. We were not disappointed. The service was great. The prices are reasonable. Would definitely return. Great experience.
This place has a great ambiance, perfect for a date or quiet dinner. The food is really good. I love that you can substitute the fish in any dish; if it is listed as a catfish meal and has everything you like except the actual fish, you can substitute the catfish for tilapia or whichever kind you want that they have. You can even choose to swap out chicken for fish. The service is great, as well. Overall, just a wonderful experience.
Great restaurant.
Wait staff is very courteous and kind.
Their dishes are fully customizable which is just awesome.
Food is delicious. Ambience is fantastic and bier is cold and yummy. What more can you ask for.
Definately worth the visits just go ahead and put it in toor list of places to go.
Great food, I got the crab cakes, they were okay, I also got the beef and shrimp pasta! It was outstanding, the bread pudding was delicious! It’s a great little restaurant that’s very close to the house, I definitely will be back again.
Fried green tomatoes were good. The shrimp and beef pasta was surprisingly good but the shrimp Creole was just ok. Shrimp was fresh but overall the flavor was just a bit off. May have just been me though. My wife liked it. Overall a very nice dinner.
Tasty foods! Great selection of seafood and good sides.
Bread is decent.
Had the grilled ribeye with caramelized onions and mushrooms. Great flavors without overwhelming the taste of the meat.
Had the red fish special with spicy sauce and it was seasoned very well.
Service was great.
Only odd thing was the layout of the restaurant. Some tables have cloths, some don't, the establishment is partitioned into 2 areas with no real rhyme or reason.
Blackened Catfish Etouffee is HANDS DOWN the best $20 meal in North Austin! Third time I have had it, and it is fantastic. I actually ordered a double helping of white rice. I could have gotten the red beans and rice instead!
Excellent establishment! Great food and service. Zero complaints!
