If you’re considering it, GO!!!! I ordered the Noel special and not only was the price unmatched for the quantity, the quality was top tier, not to mention so was the flavor!! I do not regret it one bit, not even the fact that I went while my husband and kids were gone so I got to indulge in peace

Man the people, food, and atmosphere were so great, the only thing I can compare it to is a Yordan Alvarez Walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th. Is now my official crawfish spot! Also if you don’t like crawfish but the people do, get the chicken wings with craven sauce!!!

HANDS DOWN BEST CRAWFISH. It’s been years since I’ve had crawfish this good. Seasoning is amazing. Cooked perfect and you cannot beat the price. I was really impressed. First time there but I’ll defiantly be back with friends. Shaded outside seating area for quite a bit of people if you don’t like it to go, I prefer to eat there!
