Very happy I got to try this place. I’ve driven passed this numerous times. The staff is incredibly friendly. I ordered a crab and shrimp cake sandwich with sweet potato fries, and it was delicious. Timely service, great prices for seafood, and yummy! It’s hard to find good seafood without paying an arm and a leg in the loop.

This place is amazing! My ex’s family is from Metairie Louisiana and my ex would make the best Cajun food and I’ve missed it. My friend told me that the cook here is from Louisiana and unlike Papadeaux and other places that throw cooked meat in already made roux, the chef here cooks the meat all the way through in its roux for maximum flavor. The etouffe and red beans and rice are just like homemade. Do yourself a favor and don’t go to anywhere else but this place in Houston for Cajun. Don’t go to Ragin’ or Pappadeaux or anywhere else, this place is where it’s at and it’s affordable. Oh and if you’re from Austin or San Antonio they have Big Red on tap <3

Food: 5/5 I’m not well-exposed to Cajun food, so take this as you will, but the food was very tasty. I always appreciate fish that isn’t deep fried, and being served on gumbo with rice is perfect for my preferences. Atmosphere: 3/5 The place is small and has a quaint feel, but can get rather crowded. The parking lot is also pretty small, so you may have difficulty finding parking during more crowded times Price: 4/5 My plate was $11 and I added extra vegetables for about $1.75. Seems fair to me, though I wish they would have added a little more rice for the price point. Customer Service: 4/5 No complaints. They got the order taken at the register and delivered the food. Not super bubbly but they delivered
