Best crawfish, shrimp, and ettoufe in the northern Louisiana area. Super friendly staff. Cozy spot for you and your loved one. Sweet tea is just perfecto. They serve a warm toasty bread with garlic butter with all their servings. Sorry no pictures of it, was too good to stay on the table.

Traveling for business - my hotel manager said this is the best place in town, and he was right. Great food and service, exactly what I expected. I asked for no fries or hush puppies but they came anyway - glad they did! Best hush puppies I have ever had.

What a gem! Stopped here while passing through Louisiana on I-20. Food was all from scratch, EXTREMELY fresh seafood, all cooked to perfection. Had seafood platter with Fried Shrimp and Catfish, and Etouffe. Best Etouffe I have had in years! Had a Bacon cheeseburger with jalapeños and "sloppy fries" (chili and cheese). Bacon-wrapped stuffed Jalapeños were stuffed with sausage and were great. Top it off with a spicy cole-slaw that was the cook's own creation and was soooo good. Everyone who was in there ordered crawfish, which leads me to believe it must be pretty darn amazing too. Waitresses were friendly and took good care of us. Got to talking with the cook about his beef po-boys (he smokes all the meat himself) and he gave us a sample of the meat to try... it melted in your mouth and was full of flavor! Restaurant is in the downtown area 2 blocks from Ouachitaw River, parking is ample as long as you are in a personal vehicle...we were in our 18-wheeler with a 53' spread axle trailer...if it would have been during the week there would have been no way for us to get there and park anywhere. Most of the business right there are medical related, so they were closed bc it was Saturday.
