If you are not visiting this hidden gem you are really missing out on some amazing food. I have eaten at many Cajun restaurants from Houston to Louisiana and by far this is one of the best Cajun restaurants around. I had the redfish - it was cooked perfectly - the grilled Oysters were out of this world delicious. When I visit again this will be the first on my list to enjoy an amazing dinner.
We came here for happy hour/early dinner, around 4 p.m. on a weekday. Loved our experience! We got appetizers, drinks, and mains. We got the dirty balls and fried okra as appetizers. I would order both of those again, as both were out of this world! The dirty balls are large balls of deep fried dirty rice with queso and a spicy red sauce coating them. The fried okra was super fresh, and the breading had Cajun spice in it. The okra was served with some kind of herbed aioli that was also amazing. My friend got the Po Boy as her main dish, and she substituted fried gator for fried shrimp. They were more than happy to accommodate that request and it was amazing. Highly recommend. I got the Oysters on the Half Shell (raw) and the Ménage a Trois for my main course. Oysters were fresh and HUGE, and they came with plenty of lemons, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and saltines. A couple of the oysters still had some grit in them, but you always run that risk when ordering gulf oysters, so it’s not a huge complaint. The Ménage a Trois was a great way to sample all of the Cajun staples on the menu. The crawfish etoufee could have used more acid, but was pretty decent once I squeezed some lemon in it. The red beans and rice aren’t something I’d necessarily have again. They were fine, but they looked and tasted like pinto beans, not traditional red beans. I LOVED the gumbo, however. If coming back, I would order the large gumbo over getting the Ménage a Trois again. For drinks, we got Abita Amber on draft, the house margarita on the rocks, the swamp juice, and the blueberry lemonade. All were amazing. We definitely plan to return in the near future. We are very intrigued by the brunch menu, and plan to make that our next adventure here!
