    The food and service is very nice here and the place is a staple of the old Ferndale, which i hope never goes away. Our dishes were well prepared, simple but flavorful. Oysters are Our go to here along with the jumbo shrimp.

    s across the board! I was originally looking for a happy hour but when I called, the customer service was so good I'm like let me go in here anyways. It was so worth it. Customer service the shrimp the whitefish dip (the waitress let me taste hers) i got the berry blossom drop which is like a lemon drop.. I'm coming back for the shrimp and whitefish dip alone. I have no complaints.

    Catfish Po Boy and Macaroni and Cheese

    Absolutely love this place! Inside vibes are good but we sat on the patio and experienced great service. Food and drinks were quite affordable for what we're used to, which encouraged us to order more than needed. As far as I know, this is the only place in the area serving authentic New Orleans cuisine. Jambalaya was so flavorful and the perfect amount of spicy. Next time I will definitely add shrimp! The catfish po boy bread was fresh and toasted to perfection. Drinks were strong and the server was attentive and kind. Both of us left saying "I can't wait to come back!"

    Fried Catfish with Sweet Potato Fries

    I'm telling you....the fried catfish has me in a CHOKEHOLD!!! It is soooo good every time I order it. We ordered takeout for lunch and it did not disappoint. This time I also ordered the sweet potato fries with the greens and everything was spot on! If you haven't been yet, just go!

    We usually go to Hamtramck for fat Tuesday, but I started a new job and didn't want to take the time off this year. So we decided to go out after work instead. The festivities don't last late into the night on fat Tuesday so we decided to take a different route and do fat Tuesday mardi gras style. Neither of us had been here before so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. This place was packed full of people! The line was out the door. It's very small. There isn't a lot of seating. We managed to get in rather quickly for how busy it was! They had great drinks and a special Mardi gras menu. The food was great! We really enjoyed the live music too. I would definitely recommend this spot!

    Bread Pudding

    The place is a bit small, but they definitely turn tables quickly. Service was fine, no complaints. Food was excellent. Generous portions. we split the fried shrimp to start which I did not get a picture of. The sauce that was served with it was delicious. I had the fried catfish, smothered with the shrimp étouffée which was served with dirty rice and cornbread. Everything was fantastic. Finished with the bread pudding, which was the best I had ever had. I'll be back

    Delicious wedding meal

    Went to a wedding this weekend that was catered by Howe's Bayou. It was the absolute best creole food I have ever eaten! The chef was serving us and everyone couldn't say enough about the delicious entrees. Cornbread, collard greens, rice and beans, salad, rice and shrimp dish, chicken dish and the best Mac n cheese hands down! Everything was seasoned perfectly, rice was cooked just right and not mushy, and I felt like I was eating a traditional well prepared meal down south. We are looking forward to taking our family for a meal at the restaurant next weekend after a visit downtown Detroit! Highly recommend!
