    BigFish sandwich with fried okra, Whiting Fish basket with fries and cornbread side

    You've seen them on Central Ave, now stop by! You won't be disappointed. Shugs knows how to batter up fish with portions to match the bill. Do not be intimidated by having to order via QRcode, you can be helped at the counter. Along with great food, the owners bring in local musicians for entertainment. We had the catfish basket , BigFish sandwich, scallops basket and the Whiting fish basket.

    Lovely mom and pop restaurant w friendly workers and tasty food. Quaint atmosphere with tv's along busy Central Ave. The food was delicious and served hot. The portion size and price are very reasonable! I'll definitely return.

    Garlic Fried Crabs

    This restaurant is truly a gem! You feel welcomed from the moment you walk in the door. The ambience is warm, inviting, and beautifully done, and the hostess -Roxanne and owner -Noah, make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Let's not forget about the cooks, talented, warm and friendly. This is our first and last stop where ever we are in town. The music sets the perfect vibe, just the right mix to make the experience even better. The food, though, is the real star. Absolutely phenomenal! My husband had the garlic butter crabs that are out of this world, perfectly seasoned, tender, and literally melting in your mouth. Everything is cooked with care and rich flavor, and you can tell they take pride in every dish. And let me just say, Sunday dinner is unmatched. I had turkey wings, macaroni and cheese, collard greens topped off with their buttery bread pudding, chef's kiss! Large servings of comforting, delicious home-cooked soul. Highly recommend this place delivers an unforgettable dining experience every time. Thanks Noah and Roxanne!!!

    Stopped in here with my daughter last night, she had never had Creole before and we were hungry. I…read morehad the jambalaya and mac and cheese, she had chicken gumbo and mac and cheese. We both absolutely loved our meals! She said it was one of the best things she's ever eaten in her life. Mine was really good too. The Mac and cheese is very much southern style. Both dishes did not skimp out on the meat. The crawfish in mine was really flavorful. The sausage in both dishes was great as well. Really a standout meal here and compared favorably to what I have had in New Orleans. Our server was super friendly and personable (I tossed the receipt and forgot her name unfortunately) and good came out fast and was presented nicely. Atmosphere was fun, there was a karaoke contest with prizes going on. Beignets for dessert were perfect. Overall price was slightly steep but given the quality I don't mind at all. J.Ja

    We were really hoping to enjoy our visit, but unfortunately, it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. Our party of seven ordered three appetizers and seven entrées, and we waited nearly two hours for our food while several tables that arrived after us were served, finished, and left. Service throughout the visit was also lacking. When our appetizers arrived, we were not given individual plates, so the seven of us had to share and eat directly from the three appetizer baskets. Our drinks remained empty for much of the meal with no refills, and our waitress rarely checked on our table during the nearly two hours we were there. What disappointed us most, however, was how our concerns were handled. When we politely mentioned the excessive wait, management and the owner/chef became defensive rather than acknowledging the situation or offering an apology. I even mentioned that we are a military family and that my father-in-law served, but the owner seemed completely indifferent to our concerns. The food itself was average, and the loud karaoke setup directly beside our table made it difficult to have a conversation. We understand that restaurants can get busy and delays happen, but basic service, communication, and professionalism matter. After this experience, we will definitely not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant to others.
