    Hot honey lemon pepper wings
    Jessica C.

    So good! Everything was hot and fresh. Fried shrimp and catfish were perfectly seasoned and fried golden and crispy. The meal comes with choice of two sides -- corn was sweet with a seasoned butter sauce, okra was fried just right. Seafood rice is so delicious! Has crab bits in it. Only two choices for drinks -- bottled water & Pepsi. Great customer service. Very relaxed atmosphere. They have seating inside and a large parking lot with accessible entrance. Ordered through DoorDash and everything was ready at the specified time. They were out of beignets which sucked, but I got a refund for them. Will be back!

    Omg!!! If I could give them 10 Stars I would. My order just arrived and everything is HOT and fresh.... The seafood rice is absolutely delicious a fluffy flavorful masterpiece. The shrimp seasoned to perfection and the size I'm in love. Now for these catfish nuggets and fries they are fireeeee so flipping delicious and juicy I almost bit my tongue. This is my first time trying and absolutely WILL NOT be my last. Wonderful 1st time experience!!!

    I have heard such great things about this place. The advertising is great. My husband and I drove almost an hour to get here. I was a little disappointed. The fries were soggy. And I ate them immediately when I got in the car. The shrimp was well seasoned but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the batter. The service was great. Very fast and friendly. They do have a few booths that you can sit at. But its nothing fancy. I dont think I would go back unfortunately.

    This was Supposed to be the ultimate...Listen it's wasn't worth it...$23 plus

    Excellent food! Ordered the grilled shrimp bowl and the fried shrimp bowl both were excellent. Cornbread was also fresh and tasty!

    Stopped in here with my daughter last night, she had never had Creole before and we were hungry. I…read morehad the jambalaya and mac and cheese, she had chicken gumbo and mac and cheese. 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

    We arrived around 4:15 p.m., and the hostess was friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was also very…read morenice. I do wonder if she put our order in after taking it. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. We ordered three appetizers and seven entrees. Four or five other parties arrived after us and were served their food before we received ours. Most of those guests had already eaten and left before our food finally arrived--well after 6:00 p.m., nearly two hours after we ordered. When someone who I believe was the manager asked how everything was, we politely mentioned the long wait. Instead of acknowledging the issue or apologizing, she argued with us about how long we had actually been waiting. Later, the owner/chef came to our table and was also very rude and argumentative. At no point did anyone apologize or take responsibility; there were only excuses. We were seated right next to the stage, and during our visit a karaoke table was set up with a speaker directly beside us. It became so loud that we could barely hear each other or communicate with our waitress. The food was okay--nothing terrible, but nothing particularly impressive either. Most of the dishes needed more seasoning, and they don't offer any dipping sauce for the chicken fingers. Overall, this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had in Summerville. The long wait was frustrating, but the way our concerns were handled by management and the owner was what really made the experience disappointing. A simple apology and acknowledgment would have gone a long way.

A place you…read morecan hang out and stay a while and not even realize hours have gone by because you made new friends with the people sitting around you! My husband and I sat at the outdoor bar on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone was so friendly; the bartenders, the couple sitting next to us, the dog on the other side of us, the people sitting across the bar, etc. It was a great time! And it was my first time having country fried steak (I am a recent transplant from the North) and I loved it! I picked mashed potatoes & vegetables for my sides and it was the ultimate comfort food meal. Needless to say, we will definitely be back again :)

Waitress could have been better. She seemed a little over us and not the friendliest. Didn't stop us from enjoying our time. We sat outside and it was a hot day, but plenty of tables with umbrellas. Food came quickly (table of 6). One of the kids meals was forgotten and had to be re-fired but nbd- happens to the best of us. Chicken tenders were real chicken so loved that. The Caesar was delicious and added on blackened salmon which was also great. Will definitely visit again in the future!
