Great food great ppl great atmosphere. We have been going here for several years. The owner always says hi and greets everyone. Staff is kind and attentive checking on customers, cleaning tables, and making sure everyone has all they need. The food is fresh tastes great and has tons of flavor. They also offer lots of extra options. Love when they do love music right out front off the square. Highly recommend!

Crawfish is way too small, but the crab was very good.

I was so bummed to get my crawfish order this year, I went opening weekend (yes it’s a late review bc I was craving it again & looked at the reviews & saw none for this year) & I got 4 lbs -one bag was 2lb but the other was only 1lb. I brought it home to eat and feed my family so I said oh well, let’s eat! We were very disappointed with the crawfish, very small, unseasoned, & they were so dirty, full of mud still, overcooked, the shells would just break at the slightest touch, so you’re picking shells off in tiny pieces (NOT fun when trying to peel them for my 3 & 4 yo) the corn, ALWAYS a hit. No complaints there, but can you really mess that up? The potatoes, Very hard & tastes like they came STRAIGHT from the dirt, like they did not get washed. Needless to say, I am sad to have had this experience, because last year, it was pretty good (besides the price for tiny crawfish) & it’s the only place here in town that has crawfish (that I know of). Would love to try next year, but I’d have to walk around and look at everyone else’s before buying LOL

Honestly Making the Drive over to Dublin Tx for crawfish was much better Here they were okay. No heat to the crawfish. A little spendy, but the shrimp was good.

The crawfish is overpriced for what they are. I would be fine paying that price if the crawfish were seasoned well and came out hot. However, that is not the case. They came to my table warm and there was no seasoning whats so ever. Hope some improvements came be done.

I was not impressed. Everything from the crawfish to the sausage was over cooked, to the point it was like chewing on bubble gum. The shrimp would not peel without the meat sticking to it, the crawfish were so over cooked the shells broke like a hard boiled eggshell. The second time was exactly the same so I am ruling out hit or miss.
