What we found was a quaint place that was really busy The entertainment of the evening was a gentleman who was a one man band, and almost everyone there was a part of the fam club. He was pretty good. We had fast and friendly service, and placed our orders for thr grouper platter, Fried and the Filet mignon, Medium. We got sides of salad, fries and beans and rice, Nawlins style. The food was delicious! My steak was perfect and rhe grouper was delicate and tender. Its a little hard to get into and out of at peak traffic times. We'll be back

Not sure how to write this review without sounding critical but I wasn't thrilled with this place…read more I ordered the catfish dinner with slaw and it wasn't like any I've had before. The catfish was thick chunks of fish with no breading or flavor. The Cole slaw was a creole slaw made from raw Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots and kale. I couldn't eat either. The server was nice to take half the price off the bill. Not one of my favorite places.

And it really doesn't matter...due to the atmosphere, people will continue to come here no matter what! It's literally that great! If you are at the bar ordering a drink due to the fact you will wait for a table, no matter the time of day...Do not get stung by the huge amount of bees that surround the soda station and the right side of the bar. I understand that the bartenders and servers are busy but service and attitudes are to the extreme! I think that businesses forget to tell their employees...people are PAYING to eat here. Most on vacation and don't want an attitude. But again, due to the atmosphere...most people will overlook the attitudes. Anyway, the food is severely lacking. We are locals and have eaten here many a time. Just remember the prices on the menu are not because the food and service are amazing...it's because of the atmosphere. P.s. please stop serving glass to people who are drinking and heading to the water.

The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.

Asked how much longer and we were told they were almost done with a table of eight peoples food we would be next! WTH you can only do one order at a time or what ? 1 Out of fries 2 had to ask for drink refills 3 wait and hour plus for 3 sandwiches wth! We walked out! Not like it takes that long to make a dam sandwich and Microwave Mac cheese because no fries! We won't ever go back! We were not the only people pissed!

I took my mom to LongHorn Steakhouse for her birthday dinner and it definitely did not disappoint…read more I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time after seeing it all over TikTok, and I can't believe I've been sleeping on it for all these years. This was my first visit! First of all, the bread... omg. It was so snugly soft and warm. I loved it. We also ordered the wings and I really enjoyed them. I believe they were baked, which is a plus for me because it made me feel a little guilt-free. Lol. They also have $6.49 margaritas all day, so you already know I had to grab one. And let me tell you... the bartender was NOT stingy with the liquor. My kind of bartender! For dinner, my mom ordered the ribs with a baked potato and broccoli. Mommy was reluctant to irder the ribs because she's so picky about her ribs but she sid not regret it. She loved them I got the Parmesan crusted ribeye with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Everything was delicious. The ribeye itself was tender perfection. The Parmesan crust had great flavor, although I will say if you get too much of it in one bite it can lean a little salty. Still very good overall. My husband ordered the Parmesan crusted chivken with a sweet potato and fries, and he had no complaints either. To top it off, I ordered the strawberry cheesecake (my mom's favorite) and it was so good. Now let me talk about our waitress. She was phenomenal! A ball of positive energy the entire time. She even had the most beautiful singing voice! I hate that I can't remember her name, but she absolutely deserves a raise. She was thoughtful, attentive, and honestly the bonus that made our overall experience even better. Overall, we had a great experience and no complaints at all. I'll definitely be back! Parking right in the front of the restaurant was a bit tight because it was a busy Friday night but there's parking surrounding the restaurant was since it shares a lot with some stores. Btw... the waitress told me that even though the menu doesn't say "Parmesan crusted" you can ask and they can basically add it to anything

Mmmmmm.....ribs ribs ribs.....unlimited ribs!…read more We all ordered the unlimited ribs deal for $23.99. St Louis style with choice of sweet & smokey or house dry-rubbed. Along with two sides and cornbread. You can change up the type for each additional serving. So freaking good. Nice portions. My inner fatty was happy! The ribs were tender, tasty, with little fat, and prepared perfectly. A selection of different BBQ sauces on the table to try. Cole slaw and a baked sweet potato with cinnamon butter to put on it. After four rounds of ribs I was properly stuffed. Yum! Terrific service here, as she checked on us accordingly, brought our food over quickly, and made sure we had our unlimited ribs refills. Large and clean restaurant, along with clean bathrooms too. Our server also offered us drink refills in to-go cups as we were leaving. That's a nice perk.
