    Fried shrimp and oysters with fries and coleslaw

    Food is always great, and the server was attentive. It was a slow part of the day, so it was quiet.

    We had the family deal- 20 fish, french fries, a large side of green beans and dirty rice- and it was absolutely delicious!Lightly battered fish, well seasoned, crunch with every bite on the outside and moist on the inside. Generous portion size and soft drinks and tea included! Excellent customer service. Highly recommend this place. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed!

    Burger was dry and burnt. Bun had mold on it. Won't be coming here or any location anymore.

    Just a bit off the main highway through town, but we went since a friend recommended it from his…read moremany trips through town. Worth it. Lots of mainly fried fish options, with a few grilled available as well. Fried Catfish! Wonderful proper crisp but light crust on a best ever thick filet light steamed with great flaky large filets. Shrimp really good and sides and gumbo are just right. Parking looked full but plenty of table space still available inside. They are known for very prompt service and food, so they apologized when it was going to take 10 minutes as they had just turned in orders for 2 parties of a dozen. Prices are quite reasonable, getting homemade quality for just about a dollar over commercial chains, with plenty of food on the plate. Unsweet tea was just brewed and better taste than you would expect... Worth the extra short drive around town to get there, and quite fine staff as well. Try it, you'll like it.

    I visited Crawdaddy's Kitchen yesterday evening around 6:00 PM to get crawfish. Let me start by…read moresaying the seasoning was absolutely amazing flavor-wise, it was on point. However, the overall experience was very disappointing, which is unusual for me because I have eaten here many times in the past and have never had a bad experience until now. We were seated, and our waitress initially greeted us and brought drinks for me, my daughter, and my friend. After that, service became difficult. It took a long time to find our waitress when we needed refills. Eventually, I had to get up myself, and another server from a different section was kind enough to bring our drinks. When the crawfish arrived, they were extremely small for the amount ordered (three and a half pounds). They were not hot--only warm--and very wet, almost as if they hadn't been cooked long enough. It honestly felt like we received the bottom of the barrel. By the time we received the check, I was extremely disappointed, especially considering the amount of money paid. I'm not sure what was going on that night, but this experience did not meet the standard I've come to expect from Crawdaddy's. I truly hope this was just an off night, because this visit was not the Crawdaddy's experience I've had or expected in the past.

The service at both places is what really stands out--attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. It's the kind of hospitality that makes the entire meal feel effortless. The food more than holds its own as well. Everything is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and clearly built around high-quality ingredients. Each dish feels intentional--balanced flavors, great textures, and the kind of attention to detail you immediately notice. Heron offers a refined, memorable fine-dining experience, while Mae and Company brings that same level of care and execution to brunch. Different styles, but the same commitment to doing things right. In a city with endless options, both places stand out. Go for brunch and see for yourself.

Brunch available on Saturday and Sunday from 11 - 2:30ish. Regular menu available as well. Local beers on tap. I would not recommend the Bloody Mary. It was more horseradish than tomato flavor. Pale red color was a dead giveaway. No traditional garnishments. Just a lemon and lime wedge. The food was ok. Poblano pimento cheese was rich. Not a ton of flavor. It came with beignets. Beignets were a little flat. I would have preferred pita chips or something more sturdy. The rockytop oysters were very good. Charbroiled oysters with cheese and bacon on top. The Hot Fish Sammy was the perfect size. It was made with red fish. The onion rings were ok. No flavor in the batter. The remoulade was good. They had plenty of options on the menu. Burgers, wraps, salads, fried pickles, pretzels, etc.

    One-Star Review - Unprofessional Conduct That Completely Ruined Our Evening…read moreThis review reflects my personal experience during a visit to The Hunter Crab. After being seated, my wife and I waited an extended period before our main order was even taken. During this time, multiple tables that arrived and were seated after us were able to order and receive their food before we were given the opportunity to place our main order, which immediately set a negative tone. Our appetizer (crab cakes) and drinks arrived in reasonable time, but the issues escalated with the main courses. My wife ordered two clusters of snow crab legs at medium spiciness. When the dish arrived, an entire claw was missing. The plate was taken back and replaced with food that was not what was originally ordered. Instead of medium, it was significantly spicier and caused discomfort when eaten. We have ordered this same dish here before and are familiar with its normal spice level. I ordered the catfish basket with Cajun fries. The fish was extremely hot when served, so I waited before eating it. When I did, it was overcooked in my opinion, rubbery in texture, and the batter separated in large chunks. My wife attempted to speak with a manager but was told no manager was on the premises. A bartender stated the meals could be remade and the bill discounted. Before that could happen, another male employee was brought to our table, and this is where the experience became unacceptable. Rather than listening or attempting to resolve the situation, this employee immediately became combative, argumentative, and dismissive. He repeatedly told my wife she was wrong about the spice level and insisted the food was correct, even after she explained it burned her mouth. His tone was confrontational and unprofessional. When he addressed me, the same behavior continued. I calmly explained the problems with my meal, and he dismissed everything I said, repeatedly insisting the food was great and implying that our experience was incorrect. At no point did he attempt to de-escalate, apologize, or show concern for the customer experience. His focus appeared to be on arguing rather than resolving the issue. Throughout this interaction, I was clearly wearing a combat veteran hat. This restaurant does offer a military discount, and it has been provided to us during prior visits. However, during this visit it was never offered or mentioned at any point, which stood out given the circumstances. At no point did we ask for free food. I stated clearly that I did not want my meal remade and simply wanted to pay and leave. As the employee continued to argue, I stood up to proceed to the register so we could exit. Despite no threats, no physical contact, and no aggressive actions on my part, law enforcement was called, which escalated the situation unnecessarily. When I began recording for my own documentation, the officers' behavior and attempts to block the phone felt intimidating to me, adding further stress. What made this especially upsetting was that the combined behavior of the employee and the officers made it feel as though we would not be allowed to leave unless we paid the full bill, despite everything that had occurred. In that moment, it felt as though disputing the charges or seeking further resolution could lead to further detention or arrest, which was extremely uncomfortable. What should have been an enjoyable date night turned into an overwhelming sense of disappointment. The lack of professionalism, absence of management, hostile employee behavior, and unnecessary escalation completely ruined our evening. We left frustrated, uncomfortable, and stressed, having paid full price with no meaningful resolution or recourse offered for the issues we experienced. This was not simply about food quality--it was about how customers were treated. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend dining here.
