Amazing!!!! Got the small portion oysters and small catfish. Sides: Cajun corn and jambalaya. Dessert: beignets. Fresh! Hot! Delicious!!!!!! Will be back soon!!!!!!! A hidden gem in the Tri Cities!!!!!!
I thought I'd died and gone to Cajun heaven. Only get to area annually but make a point of heading to this spot. Friendly and caring, folks come out of the kitchen to make sure you're happy. Jambalaya is as good as mama makes, paired with fried Oreos and it's as decadent as it gets. Crawfish étouffée, five yums. Please keep this place going for a long long time!
This is a great little dive with very good cajun inspired food as good as any I've found in the bayou. It is a small joint and they only take cash but there is an ATM located inside should you need it. The food is outstanding and the service is very friendly. I highly reccomend this place because I'll definitely be coming back.
Some of the best fried and blackened oysters I've ever eaten.....excellent service...BYOB....seriously friendly little place that takes great pride in the food they serve. The table side bananas foster almost sent me into a sugar coma, but it was crazy delicious. Go check it out.
Great place for Cajun specialties. Driving from New York to Nashville, we stopped for lunch and couldn't believe our luck. The shrimp Po'boy was wonderful. The shrimp fresh and a great light crisp batter. They don't serve beer but you can bring your own. The drinks are enormous.
