    Fried Shrimp platter with coleslaw
    Catherine P.

    My husband ordered the fried oyster and shrimp platters with one side of coleslaw and one side of corn. Each came with a container of remoulade. I really enjoyed the light and fluffy batter on each. The oysters were soft and moist inside with a crunchy outside. The shrimp reminded of a crisp tempura batter. The coleslaw was ok with celery seed but not as good as I have had. The corn was cooked with seasoning but otherwise pretty average. I would recommend these two dishes as they were good for their money.

    Shrimp & Grits

    Great food. This is real Cajun cooking. A review below said the grits were thin - I disagree and thought they were the best grits I've ever eaten. Shrimp & Grits was phenomenal, gumbo was great, red beans was the best I ever had, crawfish Mac n' cheese was dank!!!! Fiancée and I ate 8 beignets.... Will be back!

    Super surprised by the quality of food! Hidden gem for sure. Wondered in by chance and had no expectations. This is real and real good Louisiana seafood. beignets were free and on point!

    Don't forget to leave with some beignets!

    This place was AMAZING! The best authentic Cajun I've ever had. The owner was extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful tasting food, we ordered half the menu and there wasn't a thing that was less then scrumptious. I can not recommend enough! 10 stars!!!

    Traveling for work and was looking for good New Orleans cooking, I found it here…read more I stopped for lunch, got hear right as the doors opened and the place was full by the time we got our drinks, good sign. Service was friendly and attentive, good atmosphere. The food only topped off the good first impression. For appetizers we got gator bites ( seasoning was so good they didn't even need sauce) second was the Andui and shrimp Mac & Cheese (amazing) I could have just eaten these and been satisfied. The shrimp and crayfish porboy was large and tasted so good, man the seasoning on the fries was so good. The batter on the fish was amazing as well. We left with food to spare and already planning on what we will get next time we're in town. And only 15min from the airport. Great job Lola!!

    We sat at the bar and had a good experience, wife ordered the shrimp po boy and I ordered the…read morerisotto. Service was good and fast, beer was served right away and had good flavor. My dish ha a good and delicious sauce but it wasn't quite a risotto, not the way I envisioned it, don't risotto has to have a velvety and creamy consistency due to the constant stirring, this one was kind of a cake in the middle of the plate, the sauce however was outa this world. The shrimp in the po boy looked a bit overcooked, most people don't know that fish and seafood in general take little time to cook. Need to come and try more restaurants in Park Circle

We both absolutely loved our meals! She said it was one of the best things she's ever eaten in her life. Mine was really good too. The Mac and cheese is very much southern style. Both dishes did not skimp out on the meat. The crawfish in mine was really flavorful. The sausage in both dishes was great as well. Really a standout meal here and compared favorably to what I have had in New Orleans. Our server was super friendly and personable (I tossed the receipt and forgot her name unfortunately) and good came out fast and was presented nicely. Atmosphere was fun, there was a karaoke contest with prizes going on. Beignets for dessert were perfect. Overall price was slightly steep but given the quality I don't mind at all. J.Ja

With that being said the greeter seemed tired and bothered already possibly from night before The food was just okay for me. There was no depth in flavors for it to be Creole or soul. Still good! Like Sunday dinner good. My daughter's cajuj pasta was amazing!! Had all the flavors! Would return just for that and my virgin Margarita. Lovely waiter suggested I get it as I don't drink....LOVED IT! Did not care for gumbo nor étouffée that we ordered. The beignets were just ok as well....oh I did like that the spinach dip was served with pita chips

Located in a strip mall area there's plenty of parking. They have a Louisiana/Cajun/New Orlean type cuisine Rachael was our server and was extremely helpful as well as patient with the group I was with. Since reading the reviews prior to visiting, I wanted to try the Oyster Po-Boy. On the lunch menu, they had Combos where you can order a half Po-Boy along with soup or Gumbo for $13.95. The Oyster Po-Boy added an extra $1.00. So that's what I ordered----half oyster Po-Boy with Shrimp & Corn soup. The soup tasted like it may have been homemade. It was excellent with at least 6 medium size shrimp along with a delicious corn and seafood broth. The half Po-Boy was definitely a good size packed with large fried oysters. They had a separate room which I didn't visit. I'm guessing for larger parties or overflow. I believe they also serve alcohol although I didn't see a bar when I was there. Mainly people there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

I started with the she-crab soup, a Charleston staple that 82 Queen advertises as an award-winning dish. During our five days in Charleston, it seemed like just about every restaurant had she-crab soup on the menu, but I waited until visiting 82 Queen to finally give it a try. I don't have any other she-crab soup to compare it to, but I can say it was absolutely delicious. Consider me a fan. After five days of enjoying Charleston's incredible food scene, we were looking for a lighter lunch since we were planning to splurge later that evening at Halls Chophouse. My wife and I split the southern tomato pie and the chicken salad wrap, and the combination was perfect. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were looking for at that point in our trip. We chose to sit inside because of the humidity, and from our table we had a wonderful view overlooking the courtyard. Surrounded by mature trees, brick pathways, and historic Charleston charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was outstanding. Everything came together to create a memorable experience. 82 Queen delivered exactly the kind of classic Charleston lunch we were hoping for. If you're visiting Charleston, it's well worth a stop and was easily one of the standout dining experiences of our trip.
