The fish was very amazing, onion rings needs to be more crunchy but it’s ok, great and amazing service. The music they have are probably around the 90s, its not really that expensive but I’d say it’s a tiny bit pricey, I recommend going to this place, it’s very good.

My first time to go. I had the Shrimp and Grits, it was delicious. Everyone else really enjoyed theirs also. Two had crawfish & one of those had shrimp & gumbo on the side. One had hamburger, one had chicken sandwich Fun atmosphere, good music. There were 5 of us and we had a great time.

No wait for seating and seat yourself. Order at the counter. People working there are extremely kind and helpful. Casual and fun atmosphere. The food was amazing! Best Shrimp and Grits I've ever had. BF had grilled fish and shrimp with grilled vegetables. Lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. I can't wait to go back.

It had been a while since I had enjoyed eating here. A colleague & I popped in and Maggie hooked us up with plates of delicious shrimp and crab enchiladas with veggies, a mound of rice & bread. Her suggestion of food was delish amongst a friendly dining atmosphere! I recommend you go get you some just as soon as you can!

5 stars all the way!!! The food is tasty and there are plenty of options to choose from. The crawfish are consistently great and normally the cheapest prices around. They have excellent entertainment at their outside pavilion and it’s always FREE! Over all an excellent experience every time.

WowSo much better than I expected for a place along the highway.I pulled off the freeway twice before, and nothing resonated. When I pulled off and saw the cars for, I knew I had to try it out.Family atmosphere, wide selection, delicious food, and great service.Saved on my maps to find again as I drive between Mississippi and Rockport Tx.
