From the outside, the building doesn't exactly scream "5-star seafood" -- I think it may have been an old Pizza Hut -- but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's cute, a little kitschy, and most importantly, clean!! There wasn't any type of fishy smell at all! The husband-and-wife owners are absolutely working their tails off, and it shows. The service was warm, attentive, and truly top-notch. You can feel how much pride they take in what they do. We each ordered crab boils and didn't leave a single thing in the bag -- every bite was incredible! Some of the most delicious seafood I've ever had. I almost hesitate to share this hidden gem because I selfishly want it all to myself, but they deserve every bit of recognition. We can't wait to go back and are definitely adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation!

Arrived at 10:30 on a Sunday for two, and we waited a little less than 10 minutes. It could be…read moretrickier for a larger party, but for us, the wait wasn't almost nothing at all. The restaurant was bustling and full which is always a good start. The menu was relatively straightforward with some fun-sounding specials. Our server was friendly and helpful. Good vibes. I opted to go for the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast while my friend got the Eggs Benedict. And just for funsies, I ordered an Irish Coffee. The food itself was good, though, to be honest, nothing particularly special. I wish I'd been braver and tried more of the Cajun style flavors which I'll do on a return trip. But the French toast was something I could have gotten anywhere. The eggs benedict also received standard fare. In all, I'd be willing to give this place another try for something that makes it more unique, but I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes on a Sunday to do so.

Doesn't make sense. This is 2:30 pm too. Is it policy to charge 15% to sit at a table?

We heard this over a dozen times: ...."Happy, Happy Birthday!!! ....We wish it was our birthday so we could have crab too!!!" Josh! Josh! Josh! He was a great server and conversationalist. Upon returning, I want to sit in his section, please! The hostess greeter and staff all were very nice. The menu choices are abundant here but I had to go for a boil watching the steaming stacks of inflated bags going to other tables. The boil options are vast and range from $16 to $121 depending on what floats your boat. I decided on the Shrimp 1/2 pound boil with garlic butter sauce, mild spice, corn-on-the cob and (2) potatoes. In opening the bag and releasing the steam, was the beginning of a true dining experience. This is why you need the apron and plastic gloves they provide.

My husband and I went out for our anniversary and thought this would be a nice steakhouse. We walked in feeling overdressed and had a table with a family including kids watching shows loudly on a phone right next to us. My biggest issue, though, was I ordered a mocktail (I forget the name, but it was an espresso martini made with non-alcoholic spirits) directly from the menu, exactly how it's listed in there, and was brought a regular espresso martini. I took one sip and could tell the difference. When I asked my server if it was in fact the one I ordered, she told me she rung in a regular one. I was 8 months pregnant at the time, so this was not great. While she was very apologetic and corrected the error, this was a big mishap.

For our appetizer we ordered Firecracker shrimp, Fried green tomatoes, and Sweet potato muffins. We also had the complimentary corn bread. The appetizers and sweet potatoes muffins were delicious. The cornbread was dense and okay. For our main course we ordered turkey chops, and they came with two sides. We chose mac and cheese and red beans and rice. The turkey chops were ok but the sides were trash. The red beans and rice were (see picture) dry and the macaroni and cheese (see pictures) as well. The mac and cheese was cheeseless.We also ordered the catfish dinner with okra and yams.The yams were delicious and the okra was okay. The catfish skin was dark like old oil was used. It appeared to be cornmeal fried and hard. I should have specified how I wanted them. We also order the waffle and the chickens and there were no complaints. Honestly, we've been to Cornbread many times. Previously, I've always given 5 stars and haven't ever had any complaints but something drastically changed. The drinks as well didn't taste the same and we were told that the bartender was new. We didn't want to complain or send our food back due to our past experiences at other restaurants but we did take pictures. The service was great. But honestly, I do not believe that we will ever return.

The Black Bean Chicken Grubb bowl was good. It's a hoppin jack. The chicken was really good, missing sour cream, but no complaints. Overall, I would definitely go back for the fried salmon taco.
