    My goodness! This place was amazing! How have I been in Cookeville for years on visits without…read moreknowing about this beautiful Gem of a restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing, service was kind, friendly, and energetic, and the patio was so inviting! We tried everything from the shrimp bisque, the salads, the catfish, the Seabass, and appetizers. We didn't have a single complaint about any of it! We can't wait to come back to Cookeville to visit again! Our server was so very helpful and you could tell she loved what she did! The manager was also proud, smiling, and very helpful!

    Crawdaddys is a place to check out in Cookeville. I got the Cajun shrimp pasta and it was decent…read more It didn't have the spice that was advertised in the menu and it had an enormous(!) amount of peas in the dish. Literally over 200. I stopped counting after 100. The sauce was good, I could really get the tang of the tomato base. The shrimp were juicy as well My mom and sister got the steak cooked well. They said it was cooked perfect and the okra were crispy. The sweet tea was definitely sweet and tea might have needed to boil for a bit longer. We ended up having to wait for the ice to melt down to be able to drink it with all the sugar. I'd like to go back to check out more menu options. Also, the service was great. Probably some of the best service I've experienced in a restaurant

    The Gumbo Bros. location in the Gulch absolutely blew me away, especially their étouffée. I stopped…read morein solo before an appt. I had over here and sat at the bar, and the bartender was incredibly kind and generous, letting me sample the two dishes I was deciding between. I tried Nanny's Seafood Gumbo, which had a very bold, distinct seafood-forward flavor that might be perfect for some, but for me it was a bit overpowering. The étouffée, on the other hand, was more balanced and lighter, with flavors that just hit in the best way...so it really comes down to personal preference. It was a cold December day, and I was craving something warm and spicy, and this absolutely delivered. I ordered the étouffée with shrimp (though they weren't blackened as described), and it was still deeply comforting and delicious. I paired it with a Harding House Jimmy Red Lager, and loved the thoughtful touch of little baskets of popcorn at the bar. Parking can be tricky in the area, but I easily found off-street paid parking near Turnip Truck!

    A few Louisiana Natives told me about this spot! When it comes to Cajun/Creole food. Especially…read more*Gumbo, Red Beans & Etoufee I'm a tough judge because I was raised on all of these and it's hard to beat momo's cooking lol. The best 2 things were the PoBoy and the Boudin Balls Great fry on the shrimp. Boudin was crunchy & Full of spice! I recently just had the crawfish boy, what a surprise. I just couldn't get a pic. We will be back to get more.

    I found this place online while in Hendersonville, so I decided to give them a try…read more They sat us (table of 8) really quickly. Our server was super kind, he had just moved from Florida so it was nice to know we are from the same place! For appetizers, I tried the fried pickles (not pictured) they were way too salty. We also had the creole seafood dip which was amazing! I went with the steamed shrimp,with Cajun sauce. It also came with potatoes, corn, and I added sausage for $4. The way it came out was different than other seafood boils I've had. The boil came out plain with the sauce on the side. I thought this was going to affect the flavor but it did not and it was so good! Overall we had a great time, they were very accommodating. I would return.

    Parking was a little scarce. Walking in the decor was on them with Cajun food. We were greeted and…read moreseated quickly enough. The waitress were super nice, I thought the drinks took a bit but nothing outrageous and they were good. Thats the extent of the two stars. The menu looked great but was very disappointing. I was craving a boil so I got the shrimp boil. I got shrimp the were not cleaned and butter on the side. I asked if they normally don't clean the shrimp and they let me know that was normal practice, well not for me. The didn't charge us so that helped with their two stars. My husband had some chicken dish (voodoo chicken) with balsamic drizzle that tasted like water, not sure how but it did. I dont know how anyone gave this place more than 3 stars at most.
