“ It’s a causal place with excellent food. They have an outside patio for dining. It has a straw roof, a palapa, giving a vacation vibe although you’re nowhere near the beach! They offer specials and serve beer. The menu is great. You can order a variety of fried seafood baskets, assorted sizes. The boiled shrimp, served either cold or hot are very good. Service is always on point and restaurant is clean and well kept. ”
“ Delicious food at reasonable prices. Awesome atmosphere. Great service. ”
“ The food was fresh/piping hot, and delicious! I had the combo shrimp/fish platter (I substituted shrimp rice for the fries). I also ordered a cup of seafood gumbo. It was ok (I’m from Louisiana, so I make gumbo from scratch). The gumbo had a decent flavor, with crab/shrimp in it. However it comes with the rice in it already- not my preference). The service was quick and friendly. It want at a busy time..on a Monday afternoon a little after 3pm. I plan on returning. The place was clean and comfortable. ”

“ The moment I visited this place, I loved it! We sat down and instantly were attended to. I tried the gumbo soup, it was delicious. My plate consisted of broiled tilapia, rice, garlic bread, & coleslaw. The servings are nicely sized and worth it for the price. I would definitely come here again. The inside was maintained & clean, along with the restrooms. There wasn’t any issues with my visit! ”
