I can't believe it's taken me this long to write this review. I honestly can't tell you how many…read moretimes I've visited this restaurant. This is my favorite crab boil in the city! The food is very flavorful. A bit too much garlic at times for me but the flavor is so great I didn't mind burping the garlic for a day or two afterwards. The seafood is ALWAYS fresh. That's a huge plus for me. The ambiance is kind of boring but we're not here for the vibes. We're here for the food. The servers are always polite and kind.

I love the NOLAadjacent theme of the restaurant and the service is always great. I normally do one of the specials with the crab and shrimp, adding extra eggs because I love a good egg with my shrimp lol. I also love that their hottest is really hot! The drinks are amazing too. AND THEY OFFER WEEKDAY SPECIALS ALL THE TIME! I have to get in there and try their smash burger next, even though that's a funny menu option for a seafood spot, I'm sure it doesn't disappoint!

This place has been on my list for way too long. Decided to finally try it on Good Friday!! Was a…read morelittle nervous about parking since its in a busy area but we easily found parking right in front. They don't take reservations so it can get busy quick. You browse the menu at your table first then go up and order at the counter. For 2 people, we shared the Double Double and beignets for dessert! The big back in me didn't think it would be enough food for 2 but I was so wrong. The combo comes with shrimp, 2 snow crab, 2 corns, potatoes, and 4 pieces of their delicious cornbread! The everythang sauce was banginnnn. Warning - your mouth will taste like garlic for 2-3 days after! It was my fiance's first time having seafood boil and he loved it! To end the meal, we couldn't decide on the fried oreos or beignets but ended up getting the beignets. So good!

I came around 1 on a Thursday. You can sit anywhere and then when you know what you want to order…read moreyou got to the front by the bar and order. The service was good, polite. I ordered the shrimp po boy, one biscuit and grabbed a bottled sweet tea ( they don't have drink products on hand such as brewed tea or soda). I thought the shrimp po was very good. It was nicely seasoned, came out within then minutes and had a good amount of shrimp. The biscuit was just okay, I wouldn't it again. You can get water by grabbing a glass and going to a table where there is a water jug. If you need ice, you can ask the bartender or the person who brings the food. You don't necessarily have a waiter. I would come again and try their homemade ice cream and banana pecan cake. Overall good experience.

I love Cajun/Creole food. Ever since Heaven on Seven closed it's been hard to find Cajun food. I…read morehad Daisy's Po Boy bookmarked for a long time and finally checked it out after our visit to Obama's Presidential Center. At 2 pm on a Tuesday, the restaurant was pretty quiet. We ordered 6" fried shrimp and bbq shrimp po boys, Cajun seasoned fries and fried green tomatoes. Wanted a biscuit, but they didn't have any that day. The food was good, well cooked and seasoned. The service was standard, nothing bad, but nothing special. I saw someone had a basket of fried fish and it looked really good. I would like to try it next time. Would I go out of my way to come here? No, but I would come again if I'm in the area.

I've never been a fan of the seafood boil dining thing, just too messy for me, but I must admit I…read moreenjoyed my visit and the food was really good. My daughter asked to come here so we came downtown on a Friday around 7:30pm and it was pretty crowded, but by it only being two of us our wait time was less than 10 minutes. Once seated you scan the QR code to look over the menu and once decided you go to one counter to place your food order and the bar to place your drink order, they then bring your food to the table and our food came pretty quick after ordering. Bib on, gloves on, time to dig in... My daughter ordered the bag with shrimp, crab legs, corn and potatoes and I ordered lobster tails, corn and potatoes and two lemonades (lemonades were delicious!) We ordered our food with the everythang sauce (which is a mix of all their sauces) and it was really good and really flavorful. Messy is to be expected but surprisingly the food mess was manageable and did not take away from my dining experience. The amount of crab legs in my bag to me did not justify $32 and if it wasn't for the potatoes and two corns I'm sure I would of still been hungry. Seafood boils are not a cheap experience neither, our meals with the two lemonades and no alcohol was $110, so definitely not an every weekend dining option, but leaving I did see on their info board that their shrimp, crab bags are $28 Monday - Thursday and they look to have a pretty good happy hour so this might be a reason for a quicker return. Overall my experience was pretty good.

This place is like a self-serve where you order at the counter and the bring it out to you. Perfect…read morehappy hour options but the drinks is really strong that we didn't even finish half. The ambiance is nice inside and gets busy a little after happy hour. I would say their happy hour deal is such a good deal and if you wanted to you can share with other people. Loved that they have spice levels like hot to extra spicy. The jalepeno corn bread was really good and flavorful. The mango lemonade is also good but wished it was a little colder. The beignets can get a little messy but they were good as well being that it was my first time.

I promise myself next time I come back I HAVE TO TRY Something else on the menu the chicken & waffles is so good I just can't help myself. We went in as right when they open.. so it was quiet and our food came out quickly. But lines started forming shortly after. They were booked for the whole day with reservations- so glad we made them! The service was excellent. The owner came to our table to check in on us- it made a big difference.

The chicken was delicious and the pancakes were out of this world. Similar to some of the other comments, it would be nice to first come in, sit down, get relax then have someone take your order when dining in. However you place your order at the front door and then can sit down. The customer service lacked tremendously from the youthful stuff(late teens/very early 20's) But I will say the most underwhelming thing about this experience was the building. Inside & out it was very primitive & just flat out old. I know they just moved from another location and looking to get their foot in the door. But hopefully a renovation is in the plans. The inside is a bit of an eye soar. Needless to say, I would come back if in the area because of the food. But I wouldn't go out of my way patronize them.

This is unique because I've actually have not ever had broccoli or green beans with my seafood boil and I would definitely have it again in a heartbeat. I'm in love with the garlic noodles and fries besides the main seafoods. They have so many different deals and promotions, high quality, friendly service! The spot is pretty roomy and can accommodate a variety of different size groups. I also enjoy they provide gloves, a bib, and a sink outside of the bathroom to wash your hands. Hooray for my crazy messiness! Cant wait to go back! Parking can be a challenge but is available in an around the neighborhood.

I was sold after finding out its a Viet cajun seafood boil spot - plus it has really good reviews. I recommend making a reservation cause they can get busy. I like how they write your name on the reserved table - a nice touch. Also parking in the area is scarce so plan accordingly. They have a decent happy hour menu so we were able to take advantage of that! We shared the Lover's Cove for 2, then shared corn bread, garlic noodles, and the spicy cajun fries. The seafood combo only came with 1 lobster tail which is a bummer. We got the crab pad style (cajun) sauce. The sauce was fire. Compared to other seafood boils, this one wasn't as super garlicky. To end the meal, we built our own popsicles with unlimited toppings! Great way to end the meal. Flavors they had were matcha, ube, cookies n cream, birthday cake, blue raspberry, etc.
