Reviews
Some of these reviews are really missing the mark. This place is incredible. Don't miss it if you're in the area. Authentic. Delicious. Friendly. Great atmosphere. 10/10 will be here again.
Service was wonderful and food was great! The shrimp in my Shrimp Salad was abundant!
Great food and close to the casino! The chicken I had was so juicy! Definitely will eat here next time I'm there!
One of my favorite legit Cajun restaurants that isn't way down south! Yes, it is counter service, and a lot of reviews knock this place due to the set up, but on food alone this place excels. Everything I've ever had (and I've tried 90% of the dishes over the years) has been great. The gumbo is huge and packed with more seafood than I've ever been served at another restaurant. On one occasion out of probably 9-10, it was too spicy for my taste. I'll allow them an off day since I've been dozens and dozens of times and it's virtually always been awesome. The burgers are monstrous and messy and even better with some of the house seasoning sprinkled over the patty. Fries are good, but the onion rings are crazy good--thick, lots of breading, tender onions and good flavor. The fried chicken is really really good also, always fresh and hot and great, tender pieces bursting with flavor. I have had better fried fish elsewhere, but the shrimp is awesome. Try something new and you might find a new favorite.
Our "go to" spot whenever we are in Kinder, Louisiana. Very good gumbo with lots of chicken. Good fried shrimp as well. The food is good as well as the counter service.
