This Cajun soul food spot located in a mini-mall on East 82nd Avenue has earned its legion of superfans. The restaurant is known for its popular seafood boils, po’boys, and fried or blackened seafood (which the restaurant will gladly smother in étouffée sauce); however, the restaurant’s crawfish étouffée —crawfish tail meat swimming in a buttery sauce of onions, peppers, celery, and garlic — is the people’s favorite.

    They are so generous with their servings. The fried green tomatoes remind me of home.

    The service staff here was great, unfortunately the food was not. I was very disappointed, because I had wanted to try this place for years based on the great reviews. I ordered crawfish etoufee and was excited to, because I love it and it is hard to find! The crawfish, (although a generous helping of it was included in the dish) didn't taste fresh. The sauce was quite bland. The worst part, was that the side of white rice was very dried out, like it had been sitting out for quite sometime. I wanted to love the food here, but it sadly fell far from the mark.

    Dinner was mostly good but the $44.99 crab boil was not a great value. Service was fine but super casual.

    Food is amazing and what keeps me coming back. But everytime i have ever been the waitress has always forgotten something on my order and does not check in tables. If you need something it’s an extremely long wait. They would see so many more people in a night if the waitresses attended to the tables. They are always behind the bar talking. This night two tables walked out because they were not seen for a very long time then the waitresses were laughing about it.
