So, I went for the crab platter, and let me tell you, it was a game changer! First time cracking open crab, and Hayden was a champ, sitting down with me to show me the ropes. The platter came with crab, legs, potatoes, sausage, and corn, all seasoned to perfection. Joie, the owner, is an absolute delight. Her vibrant personality shines through the delicious food and lively decor. With her colorful hair and tattoos, she effortlessly creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I witnessed her genuine care for customers as she took the time to sit and chat, making everyone feel right at home. She is so down to earth. Definitely going back, whether it's for the awesome food or just to hang out with the fun-loving staff. Joie's Cajun Market is the spot for a great time! Also reminder, it's a Venmo, Cash App, or cash only establishment.

I have wanted to try this place for years, having always heard how great the food is. We made a…read morereservation and showed up right on time after a 1 hour drive down. We were seated within 10 minutes. The trouble started from there. We waited for 10 minutes to order our drinks, then waited for 15 minutes to receive our water. Knowing beforehand that this place takes a little longer, we went ahead and put our food order in. We then waited for 1 1/2 hours with no food. Not only that, we were checked on *once* in that time period. We finally left, after no word on our food. I understand it's all part of the experience and that there is usually a wait, but the lack of communication and the service level were horrible. 4 hours after we left our house, we ate fast food burgers on our way home.

I found myself near their weekend restaurant in Santa Fe and placed an order to bring home. Crawfish & Shrimp Étouffée...one of their signature dishes and my absolute favorite. The dish is rich, savory, and you can see the butter creaminess of the dish. The "Holy-Trinity" is plentiful and still maintains its bite. Filled with crawfish along with large shrimp and rice...this meal is the epitome of Cajun cuisine. Christy took excellent care of me and while this is an hour away, I will be back!

Here's a Yelp-style review you could post:…read more Stopped into White Alligator and had a great experience! My sister ordered the crawfish étouffée, which was well-seasoned with just the right amount of kick. It came with plenty of rice and crawfish, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. I ordered the shrimp wedge salad, and they definitely did not skimp on the shrimp! The blackened shrimp was perfectly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the bleu cheese dressing. A nice surprise was the bacon--not crumbled on top, but two large slices that added great flavor and texture. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails. I ordered the Flower Drop, which was recommended by the bartender, and it was absolutely delicious. My sister chose the Golden Hour, which was a bit more spirit-forward compared to my drink but still very enjoyable. Overall, everything was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Ambiance low key which I love and family friendly as it's set in the Factory! I'll definitely be back!

I wish there was some extra seasoning that the food was in besides butter to add some more flavor as the shrimp didn't have much seasoning. The crab itself also didn't have much seasoning and I will say compared to other places I had a harder time getting the shells off with both the crawfish and crab than what I'm used to. Overall the flavor was pretty good but I would say there's better boils elsewhere!

My family and I were all beyond satisfied with what we experienced during this visit to Southern Tré. Here'a what stood out during our dining experience: * Our shared Shrimp appetizer was super tasty. * My 6oz sirloin was cooked to a medium, mouthwatering perfection and tenderness. * My father and I both enjoyed the blackBerry mixed beverage. (The name escapes me now but I recommend asking about it) * The southern decor and lighting made for an enjoyable and relaxing ambience. * Our waitress was pleasant, on top of things, and treated our toddler well. * The pricing was surprisingly fair for the quality of meal we received. * Our family mentioned several times (during and after) how great the seasonings and flavors were and how much our expectations were exceeded. In short: If you're near downtown and would like a nice sit down meal or a solid spot for a special occasion; instead of driving to Spring Hill for one of the chain steakhouses, I highly recommend you instead give Southern Tré a shot.

It has a very rustic and comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the Salmon Orleans with asparagus, marinated chicken breast with mashed and a salad, Cesar side salad and shrimp and a Tennessee Cheese steak. Salads came out, ample dressing and toppings. Meals came out and all of them were delicious. The only thing was that the asparagus was large stemmed and it was a little tough. Other than that the meals were excellent. My wife decided that she wanted the key lime pie for dessert so I got the Tennessee cheesecake with strawberries. Both desserts were delicious! We will absolutely be back.

When I arrived, the hostess was polite and helpful. I grabbed a menu and was directed to the bar to place my takeout order. I was the only person at the bar at the time. The bartender came over and asked what I was drinking. I don't drink alcohol, so I mentioned I was just there to place a to-go order. Without a word, she walked away. After I had decided what I wanted, I placed the menu down -- a pretty clear sign I was ready to order. Another customer walked in, sat at the bar, and was immediately helped by the bartender, who took his order and served his drink. Then she left the bar entirely, walking past two servers who were just standing at the end of it. What surprised me most was that the hostess noticed I was still sitting there. She kindly asked if I had been helped. I told her no. She approached the two servers and asked if one of them could take my order, and instead of helping, they actually argued with her about who should do it. She eventually walked away, and I was left sitting there -- completely ignored. This level of service is unacceptable. It's frustrating to see restaurants hike up their prices in the name of "paying staff a living wage" when the staff can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum -- like take an order from a waiting customer. Needless to say, I won't be back. And as for DoorDash -- while our first order was edible, it arrived cold, which has been a rare issue in my experience with the platform.
