Very disappointed, too loud can't even hear the person sitting in front of me at the table. I can't post a picture but I payed 13.00 for 1fish filet and 5 shrimp they didn't have hush puppies which came with the meal and I was never informed they didn't have any. They offered 2 pieces of bread in re...

Absolutely adore this restraunt!

Highly recomm...

People are nice and friendly. Bartender very personable. Food was hit or miss. Shrimp very good fries were fair hush puppy OK I guess. Fish would have been good if it wasn't almost raw. I had specifically asked for the catfish to be cooked extra crispy and they give me raw fish. Neither me or my mo...

Excellent service and food is always great. I had the "Dirty Bird" this time and it was perfect. Full bar, outdoor patio with another small full bar to sit at outside. Great place for drinks and appetizers after work or a casual lunch or dinner. All around great place! Keep it up guys/girls!

I've been here three times and loved it every single time. It's as Cajun as I've ever had, but with the laid back environment of an everyday bar. Some prices are subject to market price (like gator), but it's worth it if you ask me. Service is quick and friendly, even when you're outside on a somewh...

Went in for a kind of "Early Fathers Day" dinner with my wife and half our order was wrong. After we waited 45 minutes already, we weren't waiting another 45 so we sent it all back. EVERYTHING was still on the ticket. From there they made it seem as if it was our fault the waitress put it in wrong a...

So will not return. We sat for a few minutes while servers walked passed and other staff stood around talking. I finally approached the bar and asked if we needed to come to the bar and order or were we getting a server. After watching 2 servers discuss who would serve us as if neither of them want...

My husband took me there for my birthday at 3:00. It was as not busy at all. We placed our ordered, and then our waitress sat down at the bar. 40 mins later our waitress decided to check on our food. I watched her eat food off of a plate in the kitchen and then take that same plate to guests at anot...

High prices, food quality was just "ok" and the food temp was cold. Waitresses gathered at the register and we're not very attentive to the patrons. I wanted a tea refill, but by the time she made it back to our table we were ready for the ticket.

1. The food just wasn't enough. I ordered a jambalaya dish and was unsatisfied with the amount of food I received.

2. The atmosphere of the restaurant alludes to its seafood roots, but fails to leave a huge impression.

3. The restaurant is located in the upscale area of Lubbock and by a great ...

We went to Sunday brunch and we all sat their for 10 minutes without anyone even acknowledging us. All of the girls were standing by the bar hitting their vapes. No one even looked at us or took the time to come get our order. HORRIBLE SERVICE. So we walked out and went some where else.

I would give this restaurant a 0 star but I can not. I got the chicken and sausage gumbo and there was a long hair I had to pull out of my mouth that was mixed in my food. They did offer to get me something else which I opted for the chicken salad. It took forever to come out and I had to go back to...

The staff was friendly but this place was very under staffed. (Two waitresses, one bar tender with a full house) We did not see or meet our waitress until after 20mins of being seated, after we ordered it took over a hr to come out, so we decided to leave at that point.

Went in tonight at 6:15. No one came to wait us after about 15 minutes, even though there was only 2 tables of beer drinkers on the inside and 2 on the patio. 3 more people came in and were never waited on. We all left at the same time. Never even acknowledged.

Shortly after we got our food I accidentally spilled water all over appetizer and my daughters food. Needless...

This place use to be one of my favorite places to hang out and eat and have a few drinks. The patio was nice, the service was excellent and the food was great. The last 2 times I've been there my service has been mediocre and the food has been terrible. I went back yesterday thinking I would not ...

She was trying to get a tip or something more.. very rude! but we didn't leave her anything. Not sure if the staff ...
