We met a fisheries guy who suggested we go the end of the road where there's a sign marking it as the furthest south you can go in Louisiana by road. He then suggested we go to Crawgators and get the 'snapper throat.' We got to the sign just in time to see a guy named Grant Bell finish a run that followed the entire length of the Mississippi River. He said he only had to run 27 miles today to finish. No biggie. It's 95 degrees. Congrats Grant. Then we came to Crawgators. I had the fried shrimp basket, my son got the shrimp queso and we split the snapper throat. We both got sweet tea. The location is great. Trophy fishing and charters are the business here and the restaurant is open and looks directly down on the docks. Cool to watch the boats come in. The snapper was fried...very meaty, and very fishy. Delicious. Fried shrimp was also very good. Shrimp pasta- the kid ate most of it. I tried it. Canned pasta sauce and the shrimp were breaded and fried before going in the sauce, which I thought was odd. It didn't taste great and the kid feels sick to his stomach now. Maybe not the best choice on a hot day? Sweet tea is very sweet but it hits right, in this heat. Wait staff is super cute and very flirty.

What an awesome experience, our first time in Venice! We got a table that looked out over the…read moredocket, so we got to see some boats come in with giant red snapper hauls. The servers had a lot to contend with as far as crowds, but they made their rounds to keep us fed and quenched. They had excellent seafood gumbo (and they on accident brought us meat gumbo, which was VERY good also). Served with a whole cup of potato salad, the oysters especially, were so delicious. The showstopper, however was the snapper throat, if it's available, do not pass this up! The cheeks alone are worth the investment, but there is so much meat, between that and the gumbo, two of us were fully fed. I'm very happy we stumbled on this place, and hope to return!

How to make this place the best experience: 1)lower your…read morerich ass, egocentric standards. 2) go to the bar, get yourself a beer all by your big boy self 3) pick a seat, anywhere of your choosing, and enjoy the view until a waitress greets you. If you do these three things, this place is awesome and food is delicious! This place can get packed and it's first come first serve. If you're in a rush don't come here. Grab some chips from the store and leave, waitress's aren't lazy, they're busy helping everyone. Also, they did still get the order wrong though, we ordered a blackened and a fried fish sandwich and they both came back fried. Not the biggest deal but like also, I saw you write our order down so WTF . So I guess tip #4 would be know they'll take your order, throw it in the trash, and you'll get what they give you. Upside: didn't think I wanted pickles on my sandwich but turns out it was great with it, they forced me to try something new. How sweet.

I ordered the grilled shrimp platter, and it says something when the bagged salad was the best thing I ate. The shrimp were cold and way too overseasoned/salty and the fries were cold and bland.

We were heading to the Southern most point on the Gulf and stopped herefor lunch. It's a small space but what it lacks in space it makes up for in personality. I could tell that this was a well loved spot as we got some tourist "looks' when we entered (I guess they could tell we were not regulars :)). That was even before our "east coast accents" gave us away. The menu is not vast but if you are coming here - the thing to order is seafood. I mean it's a no brainer! The food is not fancy but good and exactly what I needed. As you can tell the shrimp were HUGE and the onion ring were homemade - what more can a girl ask for! They do have specials but I only had eyes for the shrimp patter. There not many restaurants in the area so if you are hungry and have a hankering for seafood - check this place out.

You'll find a few dining tables on the small outside deck and limited seating inside. It has the feel of a double wide trailer turned into a restaurant. What we enjoyed: *Fried shrimp and oysters were good *Gumbo was delicious *Crab cake was good but I thought the accompanying cheese sauce wasn't needed. Some reviewers love it and so does our fishing guide. The white cheese sauce seems more more like a Queso cheese dip at your local Mexican restaurant. What we didn't care for: *Toasted sandwich bread served with the shrimp/oysters *The side of fries *The foul mouthed employees. I agree with reviewer Holly B on this one.

This was a perfect break from all the heavy fried & Cajun food I've consumed on my trip. If you're in the area or driving through I highly recommend considering this spot.
