Today, the restaurant and bar were full but the annex just off the bar had plenty of tables. We ordered the Jambalaya with extra blackened shrimp with a 4 star spice level. Awesome!!

I've had the gumbo and the pulled pork sandwich. Their cornbread and sweet potato fries are absolutely killer, as well as their bread pudding!

Going for brunch? Order the Shrimp and Grits with a fried egg and you won't be disappointed. Plus a Bloody Mary bar to boot!

The place is pretty alright but the flavors are Cajun lite. Take whatever Cajun food you can get here I guess...

The Jambalaya is Fab
RJ BennettJanuary 1, 2013
No orders to go. Pretty bad business decision. Great staff, but the food is overrated. It seems more like a gimmick than a legit restaurant. I seem to be more disappointed every time I go.
