This place is AMAZING!! We got there with a large part and expected a long wait time but to our suprise we were seated almost immediately. The food was very good! Exceeded all our expectations. Best collard, rice and beans I've had. The sauces were also awesome, tasted good and had just the right kick and flavor. Will definitely visit again.
Since moving here from the South, I’ve been craving Southern cooking. I was searching for restaurants in the surrounding area, and this popped up, so of course, I had to stop in. My expectations were low since we are in the Midwest, and I’ve had authentic Southern cooking. Can I say WOW, this was incredible. I started with the crab and corn bisque (I know I should have gotten the gumbo). It was delicious! Perfect amount of crab and creamy soup goodness. I also wanted to try their crawfish Rangoons, which I’ve never seen before. They were delicious as well. For an entree, I had to try their fried chicken. It’s half a bird and fried to perfection. I’m a sucker for some good crispy fried skin, and I would scarf it down more if I didn’t eat heavily before on appetizers. The chicken came with a side of potatoes, gravy, and greens. I swapped out the greens for red beans and rice, which were also delicious. I’ve said delicious multiple times already, but it indeed was. I also got the beignets to go so I could eat them with powdered sugar all over my face in peace. Paired with the raspberry sauce, it was incredible. I'm glad I found a go-to place for some good Southern cooking.
I was at the old location but haven't been here yet. A family suggestion brought us all together to try some delicious food! The atmosphere was fantastic and the friendly staff and other customers really helped with that welcoming feeling. I was happy to have the Cajun Parmesan oysters! Very good. I also got to try frog legs for the first time thanks to Mom's suggestion - a great choice. There were no complaints about the food or the service at all. Food came out pretty quickly and was all very good. Looking forward to my next visit! I have my next choices narrowed down to about 6 items... I might have to come back more than once!
Live music was adative. Too many places have live music so loud you go deaf. This was supplementary and really provided atmosphere. Three of us had dinner. One kids grilled cheese with alphabet tots, one Cajun sampler (jambalaya, gumbo, seafood entefou), one Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. All were excellent. Abita is hard to find outside Louisiana. We will definitely be back.
Hands down the best Cajun style food I have had outside of Louisiana, well north of the mason Dixon line for sure! Price was reflective of the quality! However didn't like the added tip on the check that I wasn't aware of till I got home, I felt cheated! It automatically added gratuity and I had no clue, and left a tip.
Really great atmosphere! Would like to go back during a busy night. Looks like the place to be! Food was well seasoned and came out fast. I had an Abita Beer from Tap and a Sazerac with an appetizer of gater bites. Nice glassware and plating that fits the cuisine and atmosphere. So much to decide from on the menu, but I went with blackened shrimp Po Poy with a side of red beans and rice. My wife had the gumbo with a side of macaroni and cheese, and we topped it all off by sharing the bread pudding. All was tasty, especially the bread pudding. Only bit I’d change is adding more spice to the macaroni as it was on the bland side and switching the gator bite sauce out with comeback sauce or something of that nature. Glad to have found this place! I’ll be back with more people next time.
Always great food and service. Awesome crab ragoons and crab dip to start with hurricanes and sidecars for cocktails. The pork was Amazing! A vinegar flavor that was great! Shrimp n grits n bacon always spot on and delicious. All I can eat chicken on Mondays is very popular.
My partner and I went to crawdaddys for the first time on Monday for lunch and loved it so much we went back again for dinner Friday. This is probably our new favorite restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the environment is wonderful and the customer service is 10/10!! Our waitress last night was so personable, made some amazing recommendations and was just a joy to be around. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know!!
