I've had it before and can't seem to get enough so I come back to it repeatedly. For the flavors of Lousiana, you have to come here in Nashville.

All the food was delicious and exquisitely prepared. Our server was wonderful and so helpful with suggestions. We will definitely come back to meet up here again. We sat outside and were seated immediately upstairs.

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

We decided to leave without being served. Looking for an alternative in the area, we stumbled upon The Crab Shack. Wow, what a find!!! Not a very large space, but well worth the visit.

We will definitely be back and will tell all of our friends of this little gem of a place. No need to return for a second try at Just Fish.

We were seated within 10 minutes. The trouble started from there. We waited for 10 minutes to order our drinks, then waited for 15 minutes to receive our water. Knowing beforehand that this place takes a little longer, we went ahead and put our food order in. We then waited for 1 1/2 hours with no food. Not only that, we were checked on *once* in that time period. We finally left, after no word on our food. I understand it's all part of the experience and that there is usually a wait, but the lack of communication and the service level were horrible. 4 hours after we left our house, we ate fast food burgers on our way home.

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.

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.

I stopped in per usual and again was not disappointed. As a senior military officer in the human resource arena and one who understands the cost of high staff turnover, specifically in the service industry, it is refreshing to see consistency. This consistency in staff translates to a fundamental truth in business and leadership--it's all about the people Herb sets the tone for consistency; his leadership and infectious enthusiasm permeated throughout the staff, hence the low turnover. I was equally impressed that even since my last visit 10 months ago, Herb remembered my family and me. This place is a jewel in Nashville because of its food and customer service.

There is cross-contamination -- but I am able to have it. It's so rare to find gluten free fried foods, especially seafood!! The food was not only good, it was GREAT!! Everything was delicious! Shrimp was crispy and slightly sweet, some of the best I've had inland! Red beans and rice was so smokey and had a bit of sweetness to it, oh buddy it was great! On top of that, everyone was super nice. Guy who seated us was rlly friendly, girl who waited on us was SO helpful with answering my questions! We ended up with beignets that my husband said were the best he's had outside of NOLA. We got to meet the owner on our way out and he seems like someone who has a real passion for what he does. The decor was nice too - very on brand! It feels cozy in there, and everyone seemed to know each other - felt like a sweet little community spot.
