8 of us had a reservation here with seating on the outdoor deck. THere is a large parking lot and…read morewe were seated on time. The waiter was really nice and took drink orders very timely. We had two small kids with us and they ordered chocalate milk. They came with it in 20 ounce cups or so. A different waiter accidentally spilled the entire cup on a 7 year old. Totally drenched her hair and dress. So bad that they had to take her home to change(fortunately only 5 min away) It was so much liquid it took 3 staff to clean it all up. The service and food was good. Unfortunately, the customer service/recovery was not done here. They did not even comp her milk or meal... Seriously- they had to go home and change it was so bad and you cant comp a kids meal. I think it was unfortunate that they did not even try to make up for it. The manager should have stepped in and tried to fix this. Defintely impacted the feeling toward the restaurant

It wasn't crowded at all, but this *was* the night before Thanksgiving, so that made sense. That said, there was a decent group of regulars that seemed to love the place. And we can see why. As the other reviewer mentioned, this bar caters to an older crowd (baby boomers with a sprinkling of Gen X), which isn't to say that younger people wouldn't be welcomed ... but the shenanigans that sometimes comes with being younger would be out of place here. Don, Jared and the Konspiracy was the band last night, and they did a fine job of playing classic rock standards that kept the dance floor busy. The food at the back (jambalaya) was a really nice touch, and the bartender did a wonderful job of keeping everyone topped up with good cheer. We're glad to have discovered this locals hangout and we'll definitely be back.

As a former bartender, I am not a fan of college crowd bars or bars where the owner is wasted and causing drama. Im not a fan of drama, period. I like an older crowd that you can have fun with, drink with, dance with, etc. The owner is awesome, as are the regulars. When the dancing gets going, they salt the floor! Cap'n & Gayle do karaoke on Friday nights and it's the absolute best in town!!! if you're into karaoke you have to check it out! Not to mention, Friday nights, band nights, game nights and special events they have food cooked. I know you're thinking "yea, ok bar food". No. I'm talking home-cooked crock-pot food. I will bet that the chicken & dumplings are the best 99.9% of people that try them have EVER had. For LSU football they've got a projector screen and the game going on loud. Commercial breaks they put on 98.1 or the fight song, etc. Definitely my favorite place to watch the game. Long review but there's so much greatness about this place I know I'm forgetting to mention a million things. Bartenders are wonderful (especially Leslie!) bands are great, karaoke is great, drinks are great! Food is phenomenal as are the people you'll meet!

I asked for a certain drink she told me she didn't know what it was and didn't even look to see if she could make it. I ordered an margarita on the rocks and she googled or looked it up to see what was in it. She came back with some terrible drink with no salt on the plastic cup. Still no smile. Two men came in and she straightened up adjusted her top and flipped her hair in place and gave them a huge smile and took their order. My husband and I looked at each other and laughed. The girl is not an asset to that place and doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. Will not go there and will not give anyone nice comments about it.

We also ordered the Boogie Bombs that were so good with the pepper jelly. For entrees I ordered the Blackened Redfish which come which vegetables and grits. The sauce over the redfish was great! It complemented the Redfish. The only thing that I would improve on would be the grits. They were a little dry. My husband ordered the pepperoni pizza and Ashley recommended the pepper jelly with it. We had great service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

It wasn't hot when we were there, but would be a great place for a break from the heat when visiting. If I recall, the ferry runs every 15-30 minutes, so it is an easy, quick transfer from one place to thenithe
