We have walked by here dozens of times over the years and commented on how great it smells. So we finally decided to give it a try. The inside is well decorated and very welcoming. The doorway is small and not conducive to two way traffic. The tables are well spaced and the tvs had games on and were easy to see. I ordered the Jambalaya and my wife ordered the shrimp and grits and the crab claw appetizer. The crab claws were small but tasty. The jambalaya was well seasoned and had plenty of meat. The rice was a little undercooked, but still good. The shrimp and grits was excellent. The only down side was the lady (not sure if she was the manager or owner or what), growling and arguing with our waiter. Staff discussions belong out of sight of customers. He left and we got a new waitress. He was good as far as I could tell. There were several male staff members leaning against a wall doing nothing. Too much staff standing around. Kind of pricey for the quality and quantity, but I’ll probably go back.
OMG! The aroma itself draws you in. Real and authentic spices and food. We loved EVERYTHING! Highly recommend the Blackened Red Fish, Red Beans, Fried Catfish & Grilled Oysters on the half shell.
We had a great experience at this quaint eatery in the French Quarter. We were drawn in by the swamp and bayou platters, which offer a sampling of fares. We ordered and shared both platters after settling in. The bayou platter had red beans and rice, jambalaya, and shrimp and grits. The swamp platter had shrimp creole, blackened alligator, and crawfish etouffee. Everything was seasoned well and full of flavor. The platters were a lot for two people. We also shared a bread pudding, which was hot with a balanced sweetness. Service was friendly and helpful. Prices are fair for the area. I would go back.
It was my 1st time dining here for dinner. I must say the service, food & atmosphere was great. The people there made me feel welcome. I want to think my waitress Addona for great hospitality. Also, I can't forget the cooks. I will definitely be back. 🥰
Food was amazing I ordered the Blackened redfish. Came with the sides potatoes and green beans. Huge piece of delicious fish
This place has some delicious food!!!!!! Blackened catfish and shrimp boil is yumm O! Swamp plate good too! Service upstairs was non existent had to head downstairs after watching staff sit around for 10+ minutes. We received our water 10 minutes in and were told the waitress would be with us shortly!!! Mind you it wasn't busy at all. By then we already had our whole meals picked out and we're ready to order at that time!!! The lady downstairs was very apologetic. Now that wait staff has it going on and very nice and quick. Eat downstairs and enjoy the delicious 😋 food!
I had higher expectations for this restaurant. Needs a refresh badly. Service had a slow start but our server really wanted us to be happy. Husband's Jambalaya was dry so she brought additional sauces. The shrimp ettifay was great.
Great place to eat. Reasonable pricing, great food, and wonderful staff. Our waitress was a delight! A kind employee even went ahead of us to open the door (usually they have one of the double doors locked) to allow my sisters wheel chair to pass through.
The only thing to keep in mind upon going in is that the bathroom is upstairs beyond 3 sets of stairs. (But this is just how some buildings are constructed) So if you don't think you can make the climb, use the bathroom before you go! However, I think it's still well worth it 👍
The food, live music and just the atmosphere was great! Our waitress Shanei did an outstanding job with our service! Hope to come back again soon and will be asking her!
Ate here for lunch today, and the flavors of the food was amazing. Drinks are alright, tasted like a soda instead of alcohol and the service was okay but it’s not because of the lady. She was very sweet and helpful but I think she was the only server working the entire restaurant! That wasn’t right or fair to her but she did the absolute best she could so kudos to her! I was drawn in by the smell of the crawfish boil and that’s what I ordered. They make it to order so the seafood is extremely fresh. Husband got the catfish platter and it was huge and he left not a single fry or hush puppy on the plate (I didn’t even get to taste it so I know it was good). Portions of food are great and reasonably priced. I also had a cup of gumbo and the flavors and spice were phenomenal. Highly recommend.
