Home of the untossable salad! Get your mind out of the gutter, but the salad had a lot of stuff in…read moreit, and the bowl was just too small. It was a good, fresh salad but was difficult to eat. But the main reason you go to a restaurant on the river is shrimp, right? Who doesn't love shrimp right out of the river? I don't know if that's even a thing, but I was in the mood for shrimp and I thought I'd turn pink like a flamingo from the amount of shrimp I started with the Shrimp Cocktail which was a generous portion of shrimp expertly placed on the rim of a cocktail glass. The Shrimp Happens was a hodgepodge of fried and grilled shrimp and it was also amazing, although a bit too much fried for me. The atmosphere was a bit on the dirty hole in the wall side. And like most people, I love a good hole-in-the-wall, but the food has to back it up. The food was good, but not outstanding to call it a hole in the wall. I also love the Fire Exit!

Waited an hour for them to open so we would be sure to get seated only to be turned away at the door because we did not have a reservation. Poor management!! We live over an hour away and did not get to experience their wonderful menu that was planned. Sadly disappointed and do not think we will return to give them an opportunity. I hope that no other couple had this experience there. I would have gladly made a reservation had it been posted on their website!!!

We had a lot of cocktails and I think I tried almost all of them at one point. I lost track of the names and which ones I liked, but I did have a few re-orders. The bar was a bit slow so you'd have to order your next drink before you were done with the one you were on. I guess that's chain drinking1 Food was typical bar food with ok appetizers (tater kegs were interesting) and meh pizza, but the lemon pepper wings may have been the best lemon pepper wings I've ever had. The flavor was bright and peppery! I'd definitely get these again.

The tables were not cleaned off and there were at least 6 tables and 3 of those tables stayed dirty the entire time we were there. Which we sat at the bar (figuring we would get a little faster service, NOT) so we sat down and after a long few minutes, the waitress came over and asked us what would you have, I said 2 menus, Please and she left came back a few minutes later and I ordered A Dozen grilled oysters grilled, my girlfriend ordered a cup of gumbo and the grilled shrimp, the grilled oysters (cajon style) were the worst "Cajun" that I had ever tasted and I have had it all over Louisiana. Then when I got my grilled shrimp w/fries and Cole slaw, it was a baked potato, and I never send anything back to the kitchen, anyway the Gumbo was flavorless all was mush except for the shrimp and that was like eating rubber.

A nice place for a date, group dinner or just a time for a nice meal out. I do have to say that the noise level got pretty high on the Friday evening we were there, it was a full house.
