I got the chicken and sausage one. It was a little spicy but that's to be expected. I was a little disappointed that almost all the appetizers were deep fried. I really feel they should add more variety to that menu. Especially considering Cajun and creole dishes are usually grilled or blackened not fried. I'd come back for the Etouffee.

We ordered the sausage cheese dip at the suggestion of another reviewer and it's a great choice! Large portion sbd the chips are seasoned just right. I had the grilled cheese brisket. Again, large portion full of gooey cheese goodness. Husband had the chicken Rockefeller. It didn't look like much when served but husband said the flavors were great. Left stuffed and glad we ventured a bit off course for this place.

There is almost always a wait but tonight we got seated pretty quick. The menu has quite a bit to choose from and unfortunately I feel like the prices have gone up and the quantity doesn't match what you are paying for. I ordered the fried shrimp. I asked for fries instead of the rice & beans. For $17.50 I'm expecting 8-10 shrimp...I got 5. They gave me the rice & beans and when they brought out the missing fries, they were stone cold. I was informed that since I didn't get the fries originally there, would be no substitution charge and that the rice & beans were on the house. My husband ordered the jambalaya entree that came with cornbread and a salad. Cornbread was a sliver but it appears he had the best meal of the night. Our friends ordered the chicken sandwich and it came with stone cold fries. The other ordered a burger that came without the cheese he requested (then was charged for asking for it) and stone cold fries. All fries were discarded and fresh ones brought out after awhile. 1 out of the 4 meals ordered was the only thing that turned out right. I kinda expected an apology or something for all the issues with our meals but nothing. The company we had was great. The dining experience was a let down.

Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. The lady at the front counter, Aliyyah, was hands-down one of the worst I've ever encountered. She didn't check on the table once after dropping off the food. We had to go to her or catch kitchen staff just to get refills. The entire time she was either on her personal phone having loud conversations instead of doing her job. Zero effort to engage with customers or even pretend to care. To top it off, when she rang up the ticket, she put "Glasses" as my name on the receipt instead of bothering to ask what my actual name was. It felt lazy and dismissive. I even talked to someone from the kitchen staff and was informed that she's does this often even though others have complained. Food was great, but the attitude and neglect from Aliyyah made the whole visit unpleasant. I won't be returning unless there's a different server. Management really needs to address this kind of behavior.
