    It is always a treat dining here! The food is always amazing the soufflé potatoes and oysters Rockefeller are a must try if you are visiting for the first time, the charbroiled oysters are delicious too! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday and our waitress Jessie was friendly and informative about the menu. The baked Alaska is not something to be skipped, you definitely need to try it! After dinner we were given a tour by Roland and he was such a gem! The tour he gave us and another couple was truly wonderful, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. This evening was the perfect ending to our trip. I can’t wait to come back!

    Overall it's an amazing restaurant. You definitely need a reservation. However, the hostess was a little stuffy. We checked in and were 20 minutes early. We were told we had to wait. Walked around for 10 minutes and came back. Another couple went to check in with same reservation time as us and were going to be seated - until I stepped forward to question why before us. Once you get seated, the ambiance, service, food and personable staff make up for how the experience started. Definitely save room for dessert. Delicious

    I went to lunch on a whim because it was near my conference. I am so glad I went. The service was so friendly and kind. Red Beans and rice with fried chicken was prepared perfectly. Gumbo is spot on. I loved my experience completely!

    Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

    Food is always great at Superior Seafood. Very open feel to it and nicely decorated with wood panels, gold roof and mirrors on walls and posts. Very festive. Had a really nice lunch starting off with some wonderful charbroiled oysters to share. I had the amazing Shrimp Andouille Brochettes, which consisted of Char-grilled, bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with andouille sausage and while cheddar cheese. My friend had the French Dip which included slow-braised roast meat on a Leidenheimer roll with fries. Couldn't resist those fries myself, so had to try several bites. Service with Chloe was great. Very nice and attentive.
