Nicole MAugust 23, 2014It looks like a hole in the wall but the food is great! Best Cajun I have found in the DC area...worth checking out.
Olivia JaneOctober 2, 2013The closest you can get to authentic Cajun food without having to travel to New Orleans! The shecrab soup was delicious!

Brian AtkinsJanuary 24, 2011Always ask about their specials if they don't offer them.... They are usually the best part of the menu! Also, make sure you save room for coconut Melvin cake!
This place gets my personal coon ass seal of approval. Meh Sha dats good yeah. Death by Gumbo is ridiculously good and authentic. I should know.
Ai KApril 10, 2021Not bad but not memorable in my books. Dishes need a lot more flavor to claim they are Cajun. Service was good. Coconut cake was the highlight. I won't be back e rd
Donna McAugust 28, 2010Tourist tip: Cajun/creole seafood deliciousness! Portions are huge, so keep that in mind if you want dessert.
LaToya DouglasDecember 17, 2010The best Cajun/creole food in town. There smothered catfish is super yummy.

"Great place to relax and enjoy great Jazz and Blues music. They have a great selection or bourbon, scotch and whiskeys. They do smoke in there, mostly cigars but as a non-smoker, it didn't effect me."
