    Food was good, but the service workers don't seem to like their jobs. Maybe they were overwhelmed the day I was there.

    I was visiting The area and staying at a hotel in the neighborhood, and i thought I would give this…read moreplace a try. I guess I was expecting a bit more than what I got. I had requested a garlic flavoring with a mild touch. I have to say I was very disappointed to get scallops with no flavor enhancements, say with like some old bay. The sauce was very bland and even the garlic butter had no flavor at all. Everything is sold by the pound with a very limited menu. I got the scallops with a side of 3 red potatoes with no flavorings. As if this was not already a sub par meal, the waitstaff were extremely slow and seemed to be in no rush to wait on me. $45.00 including tip ( I'm not a bad sport) For a lack luster attempt at Cajun cuisine. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Ok... so maybe as a Houstonian I have been deprived of good crawfish. I miss eating this year…read moreround! But this was legit. We only came here because Asian Cajun didn't have live crawfish. We got XXX garlic cajun butter and it was amazing. It was juicy (bc suck the head) and flavorful. I always bring my own spice to dip in and we kept saying how good it was. We will return... probably sooner than later. We also got some curly fries and those were great too. Happy they have IPAs! Karen was our server and was absolutely amazing. She helped guide us on our spice level and took such great care of us.

It came with about six potatoes and three years of corn, and plenty of food for just $67. It was perfectly cooked, tasted delicious and I would definitely return! We then ordered the beignets for dessert which were not traditional, but tasted amazing as well. If you are in town or live near Pier 8, I would highly recommend going in. Great food and service!

We just left and are heading to Hook and real. We Have eaten at this is establishment many times. My husband doesn't always order the all you can eat. I don't eat the all you can eat, my husband does. I order a full meal of my own and had ordered a full meal on my own and when my husband went to order his all you can eat our terrible server Ash, said both of us had to get the all you can eat in order for him to have it. We've never had that happen and I asked her about it and she said it was at the discretion of the server. I'm not quite sure how this server can have discretion on what somebody can and can't have. What should I expect? Completely unacceptable when brought up to the manager, she did apologize, but Ash was still very rude and saying I decided I was gonna leave and there was no more conversation and to go ahead and leave ans also encourage me to leave a bad review, completely unacceptable and rude.

The Bayou Boys are…read morepopping up at Skyline Pub this Saturday (5/10) from 1-5 PM, and trust me...you don't want to miss it. I tried them last month and everything we had was straight-up outstanding. Heads up: they do sell out, so make sure to pre-order at bayouboys.com! What we tried: Hot Boiled Louisiana Crawfish - Spicy, flavorful, and seasoned until the spirits say, "dats enuff." Served with corn, potatoes, and sausage. Hot Louisiana Boudin - If you know, you know. If you don't... Google it. You won't regret it. Jambalaya - Just like their mama made it, in a pot their grandpa used while helping build the Causeway across Lake Pontchartrain. It's giving flavor and history. Best bite: Crawfish has never been my go-to, but if all crawfish tasted like this, it might be. Spicy, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned. And don't get me started on the corn because I'd take a whole plate of just that. The jambalaya also hit the spot (it's my NoLa fave), and for the record... I had my first and last pickle shot. Never again. So here's your weekend plan: treat your mom to a few pounds of crawfish and thank me later.

A couple friends and I ordered a 3 lb orders each and that was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the crawfish. The flavor was nice, but on the saltier side. Not too bad, but as someone who grew up in south Louisiana with family owned seafood businesses, I thought it could have a bit more cajun flavor and seasoning. Crawfish was juicy though and not too tough to peel. I ordered some boudin and the links were a little pricey at $7 for about a 6"-8" link. I believe it was smoked as it was on the drier side. The flavor was there, but could use some more jalapeño and parsley in the filling. All in all, a decent place for cajun seafood in an area that lacks accessibility for it.
