The food was absolutely delish. Went with a party of 3. Was immediately seated upon arrival. Our server was attentive but not smothering. He helped with suggestions and also accommodated a member of our party with a substitute side. We ordered Jambalaya Shrimp and grits Country fried steak. Boudin balls and Jalapeño cornbread! Our food was absolutely delicious and we all plan on returning.

New Orleans themed restaurant that make you feel you're in Louisiana. The food is flavorful but spicy if you're in the heat. The cocktails are strong in a good way. I enjoyed the staff and the neighborhood. You can tell from the other patrons there that it's a community place, where most customers there, know each other by being regulars.

Good service, reasonably priced food and drinks. They make delicious Hurricanes, better than those in Nola! Shrimp and grits good, but a little on the spicy side, I will ask for low spice next time.

Great soundtrack, good prices, good meatloaf on mediocre bread, tasty shrimp appetizer, not-tasty snapper special with burnt Brussels sprouts and a not tasty starch. Friend's gumbo was OK but too spicy for her. Still enjoyed the atmosphere

Nice New Orleans themed restaurant. I went with some people from Louisiana who felt the food was pretty good, and they would know having grown up on cajun food. The drinks are good, although a bit on the small size. Except for the Hurricane, which is tall and strong. Very good service, the wait staff was patient and attentive.
