Eddie, our server was friendly, with just the right amount of humor and very attentive. He described dishes and offered a hot sauce that was HOT! The Shrimp Bourbon Street was tasty, lots 'o shrimp, yummy dipping sauce, a perfect combo with Seafood Gumbo, to finish off my meal. The Seafood Bisque-appetizer and the Shrimp and Grits meal seemed to satisfy my husband. Our friends ordered Crawfish Etouffee and the Cajun Jambalaya, which were a hit. We commented that there might be some take-home, but it was not to be, the food was consumed on the premises. Our finishing touch of Beignets covered in the powdered sugar and coulis sauce was the perfect finale to our very enjoyable meal. We ate in the dining room, which was busy, but not noisy, and as mentioned , the service was excellent (Eddie) , and patio seating is available. Parking is convenient, so there is every reason to visit Bud's as soon as possible. See ya soon!

My boyfriend got the catfish and I got the oxtail dish with the mac & cheese and cornbread. EVERYTHING was amazing.

We were sitting there looking at each other like... there is NO WAY this is this good And our server Joe made the experience even better! He was so sweet, patient, and welcoming with us.

We visited on a Monday for the AYCE option and had a great experience. Since we arrived right at…read moreopening, parking was easy and we were seated right away. Our server was very attentive, which was especially nice since we were among the first customers there. A few things to note: there is a 90-minute dining limit, and everyone at the table shares the same seafood bag, so your group will need to agree on one sauce flavor per round. We only made it through two rounds, but everything we ordered was delicious. The fries were crispy, and the mussels, shrimp, and clams were all meaty. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. We finished the meal with the fried Oreo and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. We'd definitely come back again for the AYCE experience!

We were able to get a parking spot right out front and got a table right away. They have a nice menu with traditional Cajon dishes. They also have good happy hour items (not available that day due to pride parade). We ordered a triple D special - the portion is big! It came with a roasted beef sandwich, jambalaya and fries (we got sweet potato fries and they were so good with brown sugar). We also ordered their wings with Cajun rub - they were so flavorful even without any dipping sauce - but parm garlic sauce was really good). We also got mac n cheese with NOLA roasted beef and fried cheese curds...Soo good! My least favorite was gumbo but still good though. Overall, my experience has been great. The waitress was friendly. I'd come back soon.

Clearly a very good dude -Didn't bat an eye at us having a baby with us. They have high chairs! It's so hard sometimes to tell what restaurants will be kind/accommodating to a baby so this was appreciated. -My gumbo with fried catfish was really delicious, flavorful, and a massive portion Cons: -Restaurant is looking a bit run down. My chair had a completely busted seat -My wife's hot chicken po'boy with fries was pretty terrible. Basically an unseasoned breaded chicken filet just drowned in hot sauce so it wasn't flavorful so much as just spicy, and the fries were ridiculously undercooked. She said it was one of the worst things she's had out in recent memory. :/ I'd recommend this place for CJ, the jambalaya and gumbo! But maybe stay away from the fries and sandwiches.

I'll definitely keep coming back

(2/5) Unfortunately,…read morethis was a disappointing experience from start to finish. I placed my order through the ChowNow platform and arrived to pick it up, only to find out that the restaurant staff was completely unaware the order had been received. Because the order was never sent to the kitchen, I had to wait additional time while it was prepared. The bigger issue was the food itself. I ordered Combo 3, which states it includes 1 lb of clams, but there were very few clams in the bag--certainly nowhere near what I expected. In addition, there were no sausages at all and only 1-2 small potatoes included. Mistakes happen, but between the ordering issue and the missing ingredients, the meal did not match what was advertised. I hope the restaurant improves both its order management process and quality control.

Having returned from a NOLA trip where I ate crawfish étouffée, every single day, I was really…read morecraving but didn't think I'd find what I was looking for in San Diego. We came on a weeknight in January and easily found parking out front. The restaurant is more of a bungalow, and it's quiet and really pretty on the outside. There is a door on the left of the stairs that leads to a small, old timey dining room, and it's going to be weird...I'll warn you about that. When you open the door, it feels like you just walked in on someone's private dinner party. It's super quiet in there and it's just a bunch of tables. No host/hostess. You seat yourself if there's a table. A server comes in and out of the room to serve the tables. The Mac and cheese was meh, we ordered it for a toddler. The crawfish étouffée was so good, they did not skimp on crawfish. I like it a little spicier, but this was what I needed. I would definitely come back here! If it's a cold night, dress accordingly, this bungalow is not insulated and the server comes in and out, so it was freezing. Can't imagine the heat in summer, but the food is worth it.

The picky eaters ordered Mac and cheese with andouille sausage and we got both sizes: petite and regular. You can tell it was made from scratch and it was very cheese and runny. We got the dark roux gumbo with shrimp, chicken and sausage. The flavor was on point; however I wish it was more of the holy trinity and that the sausage was cut in medallions vs pieces. Our waiter was so helpful and patient and since we paid in cash the 4% surcharge for credit cards wasn't charged. I recommend!

As for the food, I had the B combo, which was the crab, shrimp, and crawfish with the juicy sauce on medium heat. I'll have to get it more spicy next time, but I can't really complain about anything. Good texture on the shrimp and crab. I found the umami of the crawfish to be a tad underwhelming, but for this value, you can't really do much better than this. I also like that they immediately gave me a cracker, scissors, a bib, gloves, extra napkins, and bucket for trash. It should be the bare minimum, but I've seen seafood boil places either forget to give these tools often or straight up not offer them until you ask for it. I kinda like the vibe of the place also.

Both times I followed my servers recommendation and went with the juicy flavoring. It's a combination of three of their popular sauces. Let me just tell you, when I'm eating the food. It's a 20 out of 10 stars situation. I'm literally licking up every little bit of that sauce. But then when I go home, my mouth starts to taste really salty and then horrible. Left me with the most disgusting breath and taste in my mouth that night and the next day. Doesn't mean it will stop me from eating there again. It's just not going to be a frequent thing. It's too damn good to not go back to.
