    Shrimp Trio is great. And they played some zydeco as well. The people there are so friendly. Our waitress,Moesha, showed so much Southern Hospitality. And the Hostess was so awesome. Check it out.

    Bedtime in the Bayou (Shrimp Po-Boy) is the best in town. Excellent gumbo, and the shrimp and grits is the BEST in town!!

    Bring your appetite! Stuff is just good and you get great portions. Very quaint environment and very convenient from 59 and Buffalo Speedway.

    Get the tex-cajun virgin (happy hour size). Perfect appetizer to share before enjoying the rest of the menu!

    Drinks were good. Food could be better. I felt food was lacking flavor and in some areas and tried to compensate with heat instead. I tried the Big T's Fried Shrimp Platter & Maw’s Grillades & Grits.

    Our waitress was wonderful. She was fun and even taught us how to peel the crawfish.

    A small but vibrate spot. Close to other small watering holes. And great food. Didn't try the drinks.

    Beware of flats and bottoming out when entering the parking lot directly behind the building. Park across the street in the garage if you can.

    Tasty, easy, & low key place to grab a meal before or after heading to a bar, as they are open LATE!

    The customer service was awesome. I was really surprised because normally trendy places have poor customer service.

    Do not trust the menu prices on here. They are WAY off. I ordered a $9.50 po-boy for takeout, only to find out its actually 15.95. Not even close. Bait and switch much?

    Food is sub par. Gumbo roux is worse than can roux. Etoufee taste like white cream gravy. Flavor is lacking but they attempt to cover blandness up with spice.

    Horrible gumbo! It's very bland, soupy, kind of like porridge. Awful service and waitresses have a very bad attitude.
