When I say the loaded seafood potato LITERALLY melts in your mouth it really does!!!! So flavorful! It was my first time trying them and I will DEFINITELY be back to try more things. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! High quality food! Top tier! Y’all come check them out. They won’t disappoint. I’m not too big on crab cakes, but it’s just something different about this one.

Not a dine in place but the food is exceptional! I was very happy with this one! A Lil on the expensive side over $20 per head but with it if you've never tried it

Amazing food! Im from Lafitte which is the best of the best seafood & let me tell you this tops it without me having to go all the way down to Lafitte! Prices were amazing considering especially with the food being takeout, it was 10/10. We met Peewee years ago on a parade route then heard of the first restaurant, followed there. Now he has one on the westbank. Absolutely delicious food & honestly one of the few spots we eat out anymore! Lol our 4 year old absolutely loved everything.

Everything was delicious!!!!!! Flavorful, just perfect. Got to try it for yourself. The other reviews had me a bit dismayed but I am glad I took the chance and tried this location. The salmon plate was bomb, the deviled eggs were great as well as the jambalaya egg rolls!

I went in to give the gumbo a try after reading the MID review. Let me tell you this. They have the BEST gumbo on the Westbank. Very consistent with the flavor and tons of meat. I go at least 2/3 times a week now.

We were in the New Orleans, visiting from Detroit, looking for somewhere away from the crowd of Bourbon street. We found this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The honey Hennessy was spectacular! The sauce was succulent blend of sweet and a touch of heat with green and red peppers! My sister and I ordered the seafood stuffed potato, it did not disappoint. Everything was seasoned impeccably.Not to mention the customer services was perfect. It was one gentleman ensuring everyone in the lobby was taken care of! All the way to bringing an order to the parking lot! Anytime I visit, I will make sure I stop in!
