The place is rather pleasant. Service is friendly. Food is good. Not perfect but good. Green mussels were chewy (as they commonly are in this type of places) but tasteful. Heads off shrimps we’re simply good. For whatever reasons crawfish was tasteless. That’s sad because I usually love it. Potato and corn Cobb were very flavorful.

The food was delicious. The waiter got a few things wrong, but he was probably new. The writing on the walls was fun. The restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms. I highly recommend this restaurant! Features: N/A

So amazingly good! Great Prices...the fried oyster basket was $11.99 for the dinner size portion. This would have been $20 at the waterfront restaurant down the street, 10 PCs with fries. Hubbs had the Fried Catfish/Oyster dinner size basket and it was $14.99. The clam chowder was good and was $5.99 for a bowl. Service was fast and good.
