Went for the first time today, crawfish was excellent size and taste was good, although there were multiple dead ones cooked in our 3pounds that we had, the shrimp was cooked perfectly. We got the full house seasoning, beware a little salty BUT taste great. We will definitely be back (: only downside was the multiple dead crawfish, (You can tell by the straight tails), and the mozzarella sticks, good but not worth the price for 4 small pieces.

The food is not well seasoned. Not so famous for our family. Out of the 6 family members we all agreed that it was not that good! We won't be going back.

Visited, however, upon arrival, the restaurant was closing. The vibe was nice and the food smelled great. I will try to visit on another date. Hostess was nice!
