I was just passing through, heading to my hotel while traveling for work, and stopped in because it's super convenient right off the feeder road near downtown. The food was okay, nothing special. I got the sense that it's probably popular with locals, but personally, I didn't feel super comfortable and probably wouldn't go back or recommend it. Just kind of a forgettable experience overall.

I chose the wedge salad as an app, grilled chicken breast (i know they are known for steak but I wasn't too hungry) and for my side I went with scalloped potatoes All portions were large without sacrificing the quality. The chicken was juicy and had been cooked in their house signature rub and by the time we finished the empty restaurant was full. Final note , service was excellent

As I gleefully devoured my meal - pan fried and searing, the oysters were lightly breaded and juicy. And the morsels of gator meat were tender and succulent.

Hi. Um. Okay. So... yeah. I came in around 11:00 pm because…read moreI was, you know, trying to see if there was live music or, like, a vibe. Not drunk. Not loud. Just standing there. Hydrated. Existing. At first it was cool. I met a couple of young guys. Super nice. Totally normal human interaction. We talked. It was fine. No problems. Excellent. Then they left. And, uh... yeah. Everything got weird. Like... record scratch weird. No bartender came over. No eye contact. No "hey man, what can I get you?" Just a lot of standing and looking past me like I was a ghost or maybe a very calm ghost. I tried to make casual conversation, because that's what people do in bars. And suddenly the room felt tense. Like I had accidentally walked into a staff meeting or a crime scene. At some point it hit me. Oh. They think I'm a cop. Not because I did anything. But because I was standing upright. And sober. And aware. Which, apparently, after 11 pm here is suspicious behavior. For the record, I am not law enforcement. I am just a guy who is cold and trying to hear music. I wasn't kicked out. I wasn't served. I was just... ignored. Like if they pretended I didn't exist long enough, I might fade away. So I left. Nothing dramatic happened. It was just awkward. Uncomfortable. And kind of impressive in a sad way. I walked into a bar and accidentally became a vibe check the place failed itself. This might work great for regulars or a younger crowd earlier in the night. But if you are a grown adult who knows how to behave in public, you may suddenly find yourself labeled "possibly undercover." Party on. I guess.

They don't know how to serve a big crowd. They brought our plate out one at a time after we waited two hours, and of course the food was cold. I think it was about 20 of us about seven people didn't even get their food So if you from California, this is not a restaurant to go to especially if it's a lot of you maybe they used to serving 2 to 3 people at a time so if you're from California don't go like I said specially if it's a lot of you services bad and like I said they're rude

We also saw cocktail shrimp on ice, fried shrimp, fried catfish, chicken strips, crab cakes, gumbo, frog legs, chicken nuggets, fried buffalo fish, Mac and cheese, fries, okra, and corn. The dessert bar had a nice assortment of fresh fruit, chocolate and vanilla pudding, cakes, and bread pudding. There was soft music playing while you dine in that made for a nice atmosphere.
