Sorry to be a hater but this place's level of spicy is too much. I've tried three dishes and they all tasted like cayenne pepper. Put it down. Use another seasoning. I get it Cajun food can be spicy but not every single dish. I love moderation when it comes to spicy. Their local Cajun competitors don't burn your mouth with every dish. You can add hot sauce you can't take it out.

I got the crawfish etouffee. I ordered the large size, which is plenty for lunch or dinner. It was perfectly seasoned. This restaurant has the best crawfish etouffee in town. The prices are reasonable and you get free refills on your drinks. There is free parking and you hardly have to walk at all from your car to the door. I can't wait for Mardi Gras. The shrimp and lobster combo etoufee is great, too. Be sure to order a large. The lines are long on Mardi Gras. The spinach and mushroom etouffee, and the voodoo red beans as well as the chicken etouffee are also all fantastic.

I have eaten hereat least once a week for 3 years. Hell I've even eaten there twice in one day. In the most part always get the same thing jambalaya, or chicken Creole but I've had everything on the menu at least once and they are all keepers. It's always reasonable and you get plenty to eat. And I'm a big eater. So if you've never been check it out. I'll bet you would be back! Vegetarian options: I am not a vegetarian but there are my friends who go that are and love it

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Great food and a lot of food. Simple choices and wonderful flavors. I was simply impressed. If you go, and you should, bring your appetite and enjoy the creole atmosphere.

Very good as always food was fresh and hot. Service was great there was only one mistake with our order. Call to let them know and they were willing to fix it but we live to far away to go back. Daughter was a little disappointed but was ok with the rest of her order. The young man was apologetic. Visit today 9/28 The food was very delicious and service was great!

So glad I tried this place, was missing NOLA and this place took me back! Even have crystals hot sauce! The staff was friendly and even let me sample things. Food was fantastic, and blues music played throughout my dinner. Highly recommend!
