Husband, daughter, and I each ordered the ribeye steak. Served with it was a loaded potato, steamed veggies, salad, and roll. The food was delicious! The food was served hot and well seasoned, but not overly spicy. The restaurant was very clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. The waitress was respectful, spoke clearly, and was attentive.

Met up with one of my lads while visiting Louisiana and we decided to get crawfish here. Definitely a great decision. Crawfish were outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their desserts as well. Our waitress, Morgan, was awesome. Overall, highly recommend dining here.

We ended up stopping here by accident after an unexpected interstate detour on our way to Lafayette. It’s just a short drive south from the interstate. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The staff were very polite and attentive. We ordered the boudin eggrolls for an appetizer which was amazing!!! I had the Crawlicious Cajun Pasta. The portion was very generous. I thought it was good but definitely lacked in flavor. For a Cajun dish at a Cajun restaurant I really expected more flavor compared to the very light cream sauce I received. However, the dish had plenty of crawfish and sauce so I really don’t think my personal preference should take away from all of the positives this dish had to offer. My son had the fried shrimp which was excellent! I can attest that it was fresh shrimp that was deveined and battered in-house- not the pre-battered frozen shrimp that comes from wholesale food delivery trucks. My daughter got the shrimp poboy which she said was also excellent. My husband got the boiled shrimp. He said they were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. They also have a large selection of wine, beer, frozen drinks and cocktails. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely stop in for a good meal.
