Casual atmosphere and outdoor seating . Amazing flavor and spice without having to be in New Orleans . The seafood gumbo is my favorite.

Playing country music in a New Orleans Restaurant is sad. Playing it on Mardi Gras Day is sacrilege!! ⚜ Sorry, this place is New Orleans In Name Only! The original Dodie's down the street is better.

Brunch is fantastic! my fav patio in dallas! Great drink specials $3 mimosas , basically champagne , $4 bloody mary's w/ and delicious spices. BBQ shrimp is great! attentive, friendly service .

Great for watching the LSU games. They have $5 Abita beer specials . Stay away from the grilled shrimp .

Erin Finegold

Love the food and the infinate amounts of booze ;) Sometimes great live music too.

If you order wine on the rooftop , it will come in a lowball glass. With water droplets all over it. And other peoples' lip prints .

Regina Brice

The Gumbo is flavored perfectly

The boiled crawfish isn't bad, but if that's what you really want go to the original. Everything else is spot on.

Luke Lawson

Some of the best gumbo I've had outside of Louisiana

Lara B

I miss the gravy cheese fries but the cole slaw will knock ur socks off

Jennifer Smart

Everything is good. Seriously. Crawfish étouffée though if I have to leave a recommendation.

Hurricanes are good. Smells a little like Hawaiian Tropic but they're strong.
