Really enjoyed this place. I'll start with the kids area! It's like a mini amusement park. We were able to sit and eat while looking directly at the play area our kids were playing in. Lots of props for photo ops and a giant chair which was so cute. There was also a wonderful Elvis tribute singer who literally sounded like Elvis. What a voice. Also shout out to the little kid who performed bc he was amazing! The food was also so good. I got the red fish and it was cooked perfectly and topped with a cream sauce which I loved. Also really yummy French fries. The margarita was also really tasty especially for being on special! Potato salad needs more mayo but other than that zero complaints. Can't wait to go back!

Food has always been fresh and delicious. Waitress was very attentive and kept the table notified about the food. My favorites spot in town, various options for those who do not want fried food. Everything was seasoned and dessert was just as good.

Awesome food and great service!!! Will definitely go back when out there again!! Gumbo rocked, potato salad was supreme, fried cauliflower was scrumptious, and the chicken was insanely good.

I went here with some friends on a Tuesday afternoon. The overall experience was pretty good! The restaurant was kinda busy, but there was no wait. Just the perfect amount. Our waitress was really good, regularly checking in and giving updates on the time till our food was ready. The food itself was decent. It wasn't the best gumbo I've ever had but it was still pretty good! It had some nice flavor and it was a great amount for the price. It didn't stand out but I'd get it again. I got a bowl and it left me very full. The restaurant was decorated nicely, I liked the nautical/ seafood theme. It was also kinda nice to have paper towels at each table, but I wish we would've gotten the full silverwear and napkin combo. Overall, i had a good experience here. I'd probably go back and get the gumbo again

All the food is good here. Service is great! Great place to bring kids to play outside and dining is available outside too. Some nights there is live music.

12/13/22 My intention is to come back and try some other things because I was seriously underwhelmed by their blackened redfish which was overcooked. My dogs and cat really liked it though. However, shimmering had recommended it and I know that I was running this risk with what I ordered, so to be fair I have to return. The onion rings were the teeny ones and they were yummy but too greasy. But I took them home, popped them in the air fryer and they were then perfection. I got the Holiday White Russian and it was too sweet. But that's my fault- I know White Russians are sweet as in a BIG DUH! 1/22/23 I came back ands ordered crawfish and fried okra and I was store happy. The crawfish were great, spicy and flavorful. There okay was perfect and not greasy. I also got a beer but well, that's always right, right?
