We were scared. It's in the middle of nowhere. It is quite run down. We were the only ones there. It smelled dusty like an antique shop. The seats were busted. The floor was plywood in poor condition. There was no food. Sanitation was questionable. Teddy creepily stood by our table the whole time talking about conspiracy theories. The artist, Dixie Rose, was amature as best and talked to a YouTube audience the entire time in between playing. We left as soon as was polite because we were so remarkably uncomfortable.

This spot, Teddy himself, the decor, the location just all scream.... you're going to love it!!! I got there before the music started, got to visit with Teddy, hear the background of this beautiful establishment (the house Teddy was born in).... I will go back again & again!! Thank you Teddy for keeping the Blues alive in a this eclectic, beautiful place !!

The food here is way better than I expected it to be for bar food, the drinks are great and when there's not a live band there's always good music to keep the place going. The open air construction allows good breezes off the water, and there's a rooftop patio for those who want to get some sun and better views of the water. I love this place.

Kids said it was top three favorite pizza - and they're pizza snobs lol Burger was flavorful and lots of yummy toppings. Wish there was draft beer, as the canned beer wasn't super cold. Friendly staff and lots of places to sit either under umbrellas or within the main space, but still with views of the water. You really feel like you're in another place even though it's just minutes from all the busyness of Madisonville etc. Will definitely be back.

Overall good trip. We stopped in on a Tuesday around Happy Hour because the person I was with…read morewanted a Burger. She specifically wanted a burger from an expert Burger establishment and knows this place well and its reputation for great burgers, which is why I'm a bit disappointed to leave this review tbh Long story short, her burger that was ordered medium rare, first comes out basically well done or medium well at best. She is one of those people who would literally eat a raw burger vs an over cooked one, so she is forced to send the over cooked dry burger back asking for once again medium rare. I mentioned to the waitress to that my friend would prefer an under cooked, rather than over cooked burger. so if anything the cook could err on the side of rare. Well he sure did err on the rare side. The burger comes out the 2nd time...and its raw. No way it was even rare. I eat rare burgers, no way I would eat that. Tell me you can't cook a burger without telling me you can't cook a burger. I mean just because you miss the mark cooking it the first time dont compound the problem by sending the next one out wrong in the opposite direction. Great atmosphere and service. Very surprised about the cook being unable to cook the burger to order as requested. Several trips here that have been great so I'm going to be generous here today and give them four stars.

Awesome foods and excellent service too. A variety of dishes, creole and country too.read more

We tried Boudin Balls that were stuffed (with cheese) and the regular. They were both outstanding but I'd say maybe the ones without cheese were better. It's hard to say because they were both very good. The smoked boudin was better in my opinion only because the casing dries out a bit it makes it crispy so we of course just ate it whole. The regular boudin has a casing that isn't crispy so we chose to just eat the filling. The inside was just as good as the smoked. We only tried the chicken cracklin's and holy cow were they good! Some pieces were real crispy while others were a bit bigger and still had some meat on them. There was a perfect mix up large and small pieces, crispy and not crispy pieces. I wish we had these in Michigan. We brought home some andouille so we could make jambalaya and gumbo. We just cooked some andouille, and it was a little bit spicy and so good. We also brought home some boudin and can't wait to cook that. Be sure to check out their freezer section and take home some different things. This place was such a gem to find! The staff was very friendly and helped us make decisions on exactly what we needed to try since we had never been before. There is seating inside if you're looking to eat there. We just ordered things we could eat on our road trip home as well as things to cook/eat later. I'm only complaint was that the bathroom was not very clean and the toilet didn't flush. That doesn't matter much because you should really be going here for the food! :)

This is exactly the kind of bar my wife and I have been looking for since we moved here from…read moreSouthern California a couple years ago. My wife and I decided to grab lunch in historic Mandeville today, and rolled by this bar on our way home so we decided to stop in for a quick drink. And we're glad we did. Let me start off by saying that California has a "dive bar" culture. Despite what most people see on TV about the glamorous night life in Los Angeles, that's not 99% of SoCal. And to be perfectly honest, I think it's kind of funny how bougie the north shore pretends to be. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of nice and seemingly upscale establishments to visit around here so I'm not trying to offend anyone. But sometimes you just want to grab a drink in a place that's not full of pretentious people who are trying too hard. We all live in a glorified swamp, people. Accept it. Very simply: a good pour, good music, friendly patrons, and good service. That's really all that matters. And the best part is that this place doesn't have the weird hours that a lot of the places around here do. Seriously, who's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays? Do better, North Shore. Jokes aside, this is a cool, chill little bar in a great part of town.

I recently spent a Friday afternoon out here with some friend, talking soccer, beer, dogs and Christ - not necessarily in that order.
