Smoked oysters are amazing! The chili cheese fries are better made at home as it's just hormel chili and shredded cheese . The live music is pretty good though.

The atmosphere is very gross and ruff, the staff is too laid back and wasn’t much help,the food is good but I could go to Sam’s boat for the same price and get a nice environment and great food

Good food great service

Aubrey Fitzhenry

We waited 2 hours despite calling ahead for our large group, which they suggested. They ran out of crawfish . The manager (Bob?) was physically aggressive and confrontational.

Here's a tip, don't go here. It started with a hostess who couldn't care less about finding us a table quickly. The beer comes in tiny mugs, maybe 12oz. Food and presentation sucks.
