I opted for the Crawfish, and was a amazed of how full of flavor and spicy they were! Some of the best Crawfish I'd had in long time.

We ate here last night. It was our first time dining there since they remodeled and reopened after…read morethe hurricane. The renovations are top-notch. Such a beauty! We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server, Carson, did an amazing job. He was courteous, prompt, and attentive. We were a party of four and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our drink, appetizer and meal. We ordered Shrimp Ya-Ya as an appetizer after being recommended by Carson, and it definitely didn't disappoint! So much flavor. Three of us ordered stuffed red snapper and loved it. Portion, presentation and flavor were superb! We each had different sides and loved them. The fourth guest in our party ordered a seafood platter and I was surprised to see a nice amount. The manager, Cole, was extremely friendly and even took the time to give us a little history of the restaurant. The dessert ordered for my sister-in-law's birthday was delicious-chocolate lava is a must! We ended the night purchasing some seasoning after enjoying the flavor of our food. We will definitely return!

We shared a Grilled Shrimp Salad, large enough for two. Plenty of g I lettuce, tomato, cucumber, two boiled eggs, nicely sliced, even had a little crab with it. Side of Ranch & Balsamic Vinegar dressing. Ordered the Boudin Balls as appetizers, very good. My cousin had the Catfish and sweet potato casserole. Yummy. This place is great for large gatherings, ambience was really nice. I would definitely recommend trying out Pat's. Oh and order the Pat's Bloody Mary, really really really good. Shrimp, okra, green beans, it's an appetizer of its own.

This spot looks newly open in a nearly empty plaza behind the hotel nearby. Very walkable spot from…read morethe surrounding hotels, and the parking lot is spacious. The interior is also big and very tidy! There was a small welcoming staff there to greet us. The grilled oysters were topped with chopped peppers and bacon bits - came out hot and the oysters were plump and big! Very very tasty! It was about 30$ for a dozen oysters - so quite affordable for the size of oysters. Great bite and starter. I ordered the Atchafalaya, which had fried catfish and crawfish etouffee gravy smothered on top. The rice was a bit underdone which made the over taste of the dish not as cohesive. The crawfish pieces were abundant, but slightly mushy. The sweet potato fried side dish that came with the dish was perfect though - soft interior and slightly crisp exterior. The portion size was huge and I wasn't able to finish the dish. I'd definitely recommend trying the oysters on the menu, and next time, I'll need to try the fresh oysters!

I always give HONEST REVIEWS: Very nice new place. When I walked in there was no one in front and…read moreno greeting. It was not busy at all... We were not asked if we wanted a booth or table. I said can I please have a booth and we stood in the middle of the restaurant embarrassed as he had to leave and ASK SOMEONE. We finally sat down in a booth and ordered our things. I ordered the SEAFOOD PASTA and FRIED FISH entrees. We asked if we can substitute something and she said yes but I had to ask if the substitute cost extra and she said $5. She should have stated the charge without asking. Our food arrived in good time. The SEAFOOD PASTA was actually very disappointing as the noodles barely tasted like anything but the Tony's seasoning at the table somewhat fixed that. The Shrimp and Crawfish were good but the oysters were absolutely horrible. The oysters were rubbery and it was impossible to eat a whole oyster as the middle of every one was un-chewable. I had to take it back out of my mouth (embarrassing for me) . My table had the chewed oysters on the table (embarrassing) and also a shell of an oyster was in there. The FRIED FISH was great as it was fried to perfection and not dry inside at all. The fries were great and the hush-puppy was not dry and delicious. We tipped 13% and left. I would only recommend you to go there if you DON'T get OYSTERS or PASTA

In addition to being a great seafood restaurant, it's also a seafood market where you can pick up things to cook at home. It's convenient to I-10, so travelers could easily exit, eat, and get back on the road. This is a simple and easy place to navigate when you know the method. First grab a menu or look at the one on the wall, next walk up to the counter and order and pay. You'll get a number you carry to a table. A server will bring you your food when it's ready, which generally is pretty quick. Then you eat and leave. What to eat? Well that's a good question! Most everything there is great. Seafood is the star of the show, and one can't go wrong with a seafood platter. This is a huge pile of everything that can serve two normal humans. Too often I ordered the Medium Shrimp Platter, there's nothing wrong with this choice, but I needed to try other different things. A Seafood Stuffed Baked Potato is a great choice, and very filling. For the grazers there are some solid whole meal salads. Last time I was in I just got a Fish Platter, which has two huge fillets with fries, coleslaw, and bread. Gumbo and etouffe are good choices too! I really have no idea if their dessert is any good as I never have room for any. I guess one could get some to go...
