Staff was quick to take my order and the wait was not long for food, but it was midday. They have huge screens showing sports and I imagine it would be a great place to watch a game. It has a lot of booths and tables. I ordered the fish and chips basket. Overall, the basket looked decent, but some pieces were better than others. It was not the best fish, but it was decent with some vinegar and tartar sauce. The fries are incredible and unique! Cajun flavored, curly flats that almost contain mashed potatoes in the thicker ones. Absolutely incredible! Three video lottery machines for my gamblers!

This is the best gumbo I've ever had and I lived in the south for 9 years. Crazy favorable and just what the body needs on a cold day. The shrimp sandwich was cold which I wasn't expecting, but I have to admit, it was really good and I'm glad I didn't know because I may have not gotten it. I would def get it again- the sauce, the shrimp, the pickled cabbage, all great. I'd take a pic but I've already eaten it.

The food came out steaming hot and ready to eat. It was delicious! In case you haven't been, they have a robot that brings you food. The robot also sings "happy birthday"! The restaurant is clean, has a parking lot, and depending on the time you go, parking is easy. Bag O Crab also has happy hour specials for their seafood boils, but they don't include the sausage. I found the regular options to be worth the price as you get more food and more variety.

The walls are full of bright, colorful artwork that is for sale and made by the resident artist. The uptown shrimp & grits are a must order. They were decadent, rich in flavor, and cheesy. The country boy breakfast was also a delicious option. I enjoyed the creamy and well seasoned gravy that comes on top of it.

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.

The collard greens were some of the best I've had - perfectly seasoned, greens perfectly cut well and full of flavor. The fried oysters were massive, crispy and delicious. Don't skip on the banana pudding here! We also stopped in during Taco Week and their taco special was a 10/10. The restaurant itself is casual, quick service, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We grabbed a spot on the patio and spent the afternoon people-watching while enjoying some seriously tasty southern food.

So here it is. The sampler is the way to go, a bit of everything. greens are hearty and well-seasoned, beans are smoky and rich, jambalaya is maybe the favorite so savory and the étouffée is creamy and lots of seafood flavor, though a little mild, and needed a little salt and hot sauce (just my taste). Also got a corn pudding is hot (not spicy), sweet and that crust, though not crunchy is the best part, caramelized and just lovely. Skip the higher-priced places--not a gamble here, just great food at great prices.

This restaurant is family-owned and run by the sweetest woman. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like just like family, which was so refreshing. The food was incredible, let me tell you that lady put her foot up in that food, it was made with nothing but love and soul. I had the catfish platter with collard green soup and mac and cheese, and my boyfriend had the jambalaya pasta. They even packed our meals in to-go plates so we could take our leftovers with us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Portland isn't really known for soul food, but hands down, this is the best place to find it out here. The vibe of the restaurant was comfortable and authentically "old school". Right down to the Anita Baker playing in the background and the full on hot sauce selection. It truly felt like I was eating at my auntie's house. I could not recommend this place more. YOU NEED TO COME HERE!!!! 10/10
