We had the Cream of Crab soup . Delicious! Also if you are a real gulf coaster you can order a fried half oyster and shrimp basket . Go for onion rings or fried okra . Eat like a gulf coaster 😄

One of those rare times when I pull out the word: Sublime. And I'm talking about the gumbo . I'm cutting back on carbs, so I skipped the rice (apologies, purists), so no rice-y distraction. Mind blown.

Oyster sampler , yum! The grilled oysters are simply insane. For sides, I recommend the creamed spinach (best I've ever had) & the grits . And add a cup of gumbo (one of best I've ever had). Great food!

Great seafood . Everything we tried was outstanding. The wait staff was great and so entertaining. Flan desert was amazing and the shrimp boil was outstanding. Oysters were huge.

Many people "think" they don't like oysters . Try the char-grilled before saying you don't like them.

I really liked the smoky flavor in the pork taco. I also got the lengua taco, and that had a good depth of flavor. I favor acid, so both needed lime. The chorizo taco is SPICY! - Estee Hernández
