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!!
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!
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 !
First time trying gator . Skewers are amazing, we even got my picky sister to try some
Great drinks!! Just tried the gator and really liked it!
Try the pepper vodka oyster shooter ! Catfish Po Boy is the best. I could eat here over and over!

Spicy jambalaya it's so yummy
Sit in the oyster bar and ask for Alec, he's awesome.
The 'Benedict Arnold' on Saturday or Sunday morning is awesome!
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.
Mint juleps ! Good ones, too!
The sweet potato fries are the best! Get the etouffe.
Love the portobello po'boy!
Have an order of the alligator artichoke dip and the crawfish etouffee .
Love the oyster shooters !
The bread budding is the best! The raspberry bread pudding ... Not so much
Best brunch in Bellingham
The food was good but they were really rude to us.
Oyster shooters with their new Sammish Bay oysters are amazing!
Quickly becoming my favorite summer local. Look forward to the oyster bar they are building.
Buffalo wings a must!
