The food tastes very good! The service is fast and very orderly! The napkin dispenser is very decorative but it should be in the center of the table as well as keeping the tables stocked with garnishes! I hope to return soon

Disgusting everything reheated I ordered a patacon and it was cold reheated oily No sauces with meats and chicken Lunch griddle The reheated cachapa on top of where they heat the meat $50 to the trash In Venezuela they dont sell food as bad as they do here, they should close it, it hurts the money because they dont have the food. No type of quality sucks

I went to try what it was like, but I didnt like the service we ordered at all, our dish was a mixed patacón of chicken and meat, and it was not what we expected, so what we paid for is not what was expected, the meat is tough and the chicken was nowhere to be seen!! The tequeños and empanas are a plus but the truth is I was disappointed, I ordered that dish because it was recommended by the owner, I asked the guy who served us to find out if he had made a mistake, but he told us that was the order, I hope Improve because the patacón is delicious but I didnt like this service at all and even less for what I paid.

I went with my family for breakfast, they highly recommended this place, the empanadas taste reheated or the dough is very hard, the seasoning of the meat did not impress me. The cupcakes are delicious, I have no complaints about them. The attention, from the moment we entered until the moment we left, the welcome faces were terrible, when you ask questions they dont answer, everything is obvious to them. Normally I leave a tip but the service was terrible. Being a waiter is not just about bringing food to the table, and being a cashier is not just about collecting the order.

I thought to give this spot a try after discovering it weeks ago. The lady that greeted us was very sweet and welcoming and patiently waited for our order. My wife and I ordered catfish and shrimp with fries, but we also ordered jambalaya to share (as we noticed it was on their special whiteboard menu. The catfish and shrimp was pretty salty, and the jambalaya they served was not fresh. When I went up to the counter to request a to go box (for the stuff that wasnt too bad), they requested any feedback. I shared the saltiness of the fish and shrimp, but then I asked when was the jambalaya made. The guy that came from the kitchen area said they made it yesterday. They had the nerve to sell us this stuff with no means of apology or resolution. My reply was I could tell it was old because of the texture and taste of the rice and the lack of overall freshness. Their only response was thanking me for the feedback.

As a former employee here I would not recommend this place, kitchen is outdated and a lot of the equipment is not working properly, I have seen many roaches in the restaurant,while I was working there the freezer was not freezing the food, andmost if not all sauces were not homemade right before I left, and the owner does not want to pay employees wages they have earned, multiple people had problems getting their last check. Tried several times to reach out to the owner to settle matters and no response.

Went yesterday for the first time and the lady who helped me was very sweet and helpful buuuut the food was ok it was overcooked so the shrimp were dry and hard to peel the crab legs couldn t even be cracked open they were to soft from being overcooked and the meat was also dry. The seasoning is good but a little too salty anyways if they stop over cooking the seafood that would make it so much better! I ordered the $50 sha bang so I was a little sad ended up throwing it away bc it was too dry the shrimp was too stuck to the shell.

Amazing homemade foods, you can taste the quality and quantity of this Cajun restaurant. Ive gone back twice within this week alone the Catfish Po Boy and a side of Hushpuppies (which are made the right way with some whole corn chunks vs. the frozen norm) its under $18 and comes with a drink. They have a nice stage area for live music and Karoke and plenty to seat many people. They do take out catering and dine in.

I really wanted to like this place but my fish had a really weird aftertaste.. I tried putting hot sauce etc but it did not mask that flavor. The shrimp were okay. Maybe I came on a bad day ? The hush puppies were really good though and I like the corn in the inside!

Fish and shrimp cooked perfectly, seasoning was good, subtle breading allows you to taste the fish, that is good quality and fresh, 3 flavors of fries all very good. Tempeture in the building is just a tad warm, BUT they are taking steps to make sure it stays cool. Its definitely bareable with 105-degree weather outside. Highly recommend the coconut shrimp. Also FREE COLD BEER( for a limited time )

Went there yesterday with my boyfriend for the first time, we love seafood and were craving a good seafood boil. This place did not disappoint! We were surprised there was hardly any people because the food truly was delicious but i believe they haven t been opened for too long. Everyone was very friendly & the place was really clean! They offer complimentary coors light (but we don t drink) We will definitely be coming back!

Sorry Big J, but as a food critic, I found the selection a bit sparce. Only two kinds of fish is offered here, Pollock and catfish. I ordered the Pollock and it was overcooked and a bit tough. $16. 00 is way too much for this basket. Not enough value for your money.

The food was great. I ordered a shrimp and oyster basket. Oysters were fried a bit long but was corrected immediately. The restaurant is still brand new (4 weeks) so in due time I am sure great things will happen. The young man at the front definitely has great potential and is a great asset to the business. Keep him on board!

The food was awesome! I ate a lot from the their boil and not too spicy (I cant handle too much) but all flavor. Their fried food (catfish, mushrooms, and calamari) was great as well. If you can make it to dessert, the beignets were tops! I ate three and wish I could have had more!
