We started with Bayou shrimp, southwest egg rolls and cheese sticks then had a filet and the catfish parm for entrees. The steak was one of the best I've had, including $100+ per person restaurants.

The appetizers were great and I thought it was a cool spot to get a drink and watch the game. I came back to the same spot Feb 2026 and I must say ordering my own food let me know the variety of what they offer. The buffalo chicken dip was excellent with the chips. My nephew and niece enjoyed the tuna. The platter of crawfish was astounding and I could see why it was a favorite. My salad was so hearty that I couldn't even finish it all. I see why this place is a local favorite! The seating allowed for cozy date type as well as a get together fun type. The owner was very personable and well liked by the patrons.

Building was clean, well lit, and open. Plenty of table seating for small and large groups. Our drink order was taken as we reviewed the menu. Lots of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to juice sweet tea and a jack Daniels down home punch. I ordered a cheese burger and my husband had a chicken salad. Doug was so kind. Walking around talking to all the tables. He asked us where we were traveling from for the holidays, inquired if we ever had fried pickles or catfish. Very interactive and knowledgeable. We ended up trying the catfish and was pleasantly surprised by how light the batter wasm they use baking soda flour mixture allowing the flavor to come through and providing a light and crisp meal. We are everything! Lots of smiles and memories made.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

Since it was my first visit, I appreciated that our waitress took the time to answer questions and help me navigate the menu. She was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I started with the onion petals, which were delicious and a great way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak kabobs cooked medium. Unfortunately, they came out closer to well done. They still had good flavor, but I wish they had been a little more tender. The salad bar lived up to the reviews. It was fresh, well stocked, and definitely worth the trip. As a nice touch, they brought out a slice of strawberry cake for my friend's birthday. I stole a bite and can confirm it was pretty tasty. Overall, this is a great local spot with flavorful food and fantastic service. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the steak was overcooked. I'd definitely come back and try it again.

She said she'd bring me water and got backed up. I ended up refilling my water at the bar. This is a long review but it has a happy ending, I promise. Her name was Julie. I sat at the Duce next to the window right by the bar. Julie told Me she saw me get my own water. She said she was going to take care of my bill. Surprised that my feedback resulted in this level of recover I asked if the restaurant is taking care of my check or if she was. She said the manager offered a small discount on the salad but she was sorry I had this kind of experience and wanted to make sure I Came back and gave them another chance. She said this was her passion and wants to make sure her guests are taken care of. I insisted I pay and explained I was there on business so I wasn't paying for it myself. After several time trying, I just said "thank you and I wished everyone cared as much." That was by far the most sincere service recovery I ever encountered and it was at the cost of the associate. Manager never game to the table. I don't recall seeing anyone that fit that description either. This is a mid to upper tier price point "nice" establishment so expectations should reflect that. Julie owned it and took one for the team. I felt horrible she felt she needed to do that. I hope she doesn't do this often. Experience not so good but I experienced worse. Food was okay to good. Julie was outstanding. I don't carry cash but I gave her everything I had. The only response I need to hear that would make me change my mind is if Julie was refunded for my check.
