I visited this restaurant during the week. The servers, cook, and bartenders were really nice and provided great service. The food was AMAZING ...everything was fresh and tasty. My friend ordered the voodoo pasta...they wolfed it down so I didn't get a pic. I had a side of fried green tomatoes that were delicious. I can't remember the names of the drinks I had, but they were all good. I will definitely visit again.

Would give more stars if possible! We had the Boudin balls, Voodoo pasta, and BBQ shrimp & grits (I opted for blackened chicken instead of shrimp). Everything was exceptional! The cocktails and mixed drinks were perfectly balanced. Staff was friendly. Just WOW!

If you were to pass by it on the street, the place wouldn't look like it was open. But, once you walk in, you are transported to old New Orleans with a dimly lit atmosphere highlighted by some music in the background. The menu features Cajun fare and is very good. I found the gumbo to be delightfully spicy and filling. The alligator sausage and cheese plate was a nice appetizer but I don't think that the sausage, cheese and crackers mix very well. There is a cocktail menu which looked tempting but I did not partake. The bar staff is very cool and friendly.
