This was an awesome impromptu stop for us. The unassuming exterior led to a fun, sports bar style interior. Our hostess was not unfriendly, but our server was very friendly and welcoming. The cocktail drinks were delicious, as was the blackened catfish and shrimp creole. Great for us, they even have a dedicated "Gluten Friendly Menu" with gluten free options.

Came to eat here couple days ago and my experience was not that great. They were not busy when we got there. The server came and we ordered two margaritas and 2 soft drinks. We got the soft drinks 5 minutes later but it took about 15-20 minute just to get the margaritas. Less than 5 minutes later out food came out. Well. With the margaritas. Was not really all satisfied. They expect a good tip and all, but why should I tip when our drinks look like this. You might think I might be picky but if I pay over $100.00 for a bill and get this. I thinking twice if I come back here. Plus. Flies flying around while we eat having to fight them flies to not stand on our food.

This is my first and my last time visiting this restaurant. Came in and was told a 25 min wait which turned out to be almost 40 min. Then the food took so long I had to get the whole meal in a to go box so I’m eating this based on how my microwave cooked it. It’s absolutely terrible which means it’s mid quality at best when fresh. Service wasn’t very good either. If you want to over pay for mediocre food and service, this might be the place for you but I highly discourage new patrons from wasting any time or money here

When we arrived it was pretty busy, but understandably so. The service was fantastic, on time with everything and very nice to my kids. The food is delicious, I ordered the Cajun club sandwich and the smokey flavor was the highlight. Though, I didn't get the jalapeno flavor in the bacon as much. But still one of the best clubs I've had. My girls loved the fact they got ice cream as part of their kids meals. We will definitely be coming back when back in town.

Great food and service I hand the Bayou sampler there's more than enough to eat lol. My wife had the blackened Tilapia and it was delicious and great portion and I should mention the Giant cheese sticks too. We set outside on their balcony. I would recommend you try it out.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. My boyfriend and I were extremely excited to try this place out. We got there and there was no wait the host asked us if we wanted to be sat inside or outside we chose outside and we got seated. There were other people sitting around us but it wasn’t very busy. We sat there for 30 minutes and no one even took our drink order. 10 minutes in I watched a group of three people walk into the restaurant and they got seated at the table next to us. The same host that seated us walked past our table and seen us with no drinks or anything and walked back inside. Throughout the next 20 minutes a server walked right past us and got their drink order, brought them drinks, and ordered their food. She was 2 feet from our table multiple times. She had to of noticed us. And if she didn’t that’s a shame because when I served food I was taught to always pay attention to tables. I sat there and waited just for someone to even act like they noticed we were sitting there for 30 MINUTES. We ended up just leaving. Thankfully waterfront had great service and food and saved our night.
