Be quick on Wednesday nights when they do the crawfish! Starts at 5 pm. Just have to spend $10 something and it's all you can eat. They ran out of crawfish at 5:45! Was really good last night!

Consistently good food, best salads in Memphis. Steaks and burgers are also good. Good seafood too.

With 2 other tables being used it took them 37 minutes to take our order, then 25 min after we were done to get our check. Even after we got our check it was a good 15-20 minutes before she took it.👎

Blackened shrimp skewer is very nice

Try the lobster & shrimp bruschetta hot. They’ll probably tell you it’s supposed to be cold, blah blah but ew. I also always get the Mississippi Blackened Catfish Fillet dinner with a potato. Mmm!

Service has slipped... Clientele has created poor service through bad hiring to match said crappy customers. Shameful. Really. Danny worked hard to make something good.

The worst service!! My grandparents always want to come here and every week I wait 45 minutes for a salad. If it weren't for my family I would NEVER come here.
