This place is our favorite in the area. We both had the Gumbo which was some of the best I ever had. I had the fried fish basket which was perfectly done. They were a little skimpy with the frys but without me asking Rick brought us a basket full. Wife had Shrimp Remoulade appetizer as her entree she enjoyed it very much. Rick the server was great, friendly and on top of things. IE fry’s Highly recommend this place

Make this restaurant a must if you’re in the Georgetown area! The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere fits its name! My husband got the Shrimp Po Boy with fries and loved both. I ordered the daily special of Caprese Noodles with Blackened Chicken & garlic bread…. They should absolutely put this on their daily menu! Ask for an extra piece of garlic bread, you’re going to want it! I can’t wait to go back.

Food is really good. I was able to sample the appetizers. I came one time for dinner. Sat at the bar and had some drinks, very delicious. Definitely come and enjoy the food. Customer service is great as well. If your ever wanting to host a event their they can definitely accommodate you just give them advance notice.

Ok, I don't normally approach a review with such enthusiasm. Wife had a salad with fried shrimp, good. I had the oyster poboy with remoulade and red beans and rice. Sandwich was very good, bread was outstanding. Very soft bread with cracked crunchy exterior. Superior! Red beans and rice, beans that were obviously slow cooked for awhile, I assume Andouille sausage with an extra kick of spice. Oh my goodness!! I can't adequately express how good this stuff is!!! It tastes homemade by someone that has captured perfection. Mm mm any sort of gutteral response you can come up with... BRAVO!!! PS. Add a touch of the famous Avery Island sauce
