“ Picked up 10 lbs. This afternoon first time trying very good, seasoned well great price, little to no wait, very friendly will definitely be going back ”
“ I like the crawfish but sometimes they could use a little more seasoning an I love the sauce but the last couple of times the sauce didn’t taste the same but overall I like their crawfish ”
“ Unbelievably good! One of those hidden gems that you don't really want to tell people about, then again you want everyone to know so they stay in business and keep up the good work. VERY different establishment, and it seems like these Covfefe-19 times warrant a different kind of dining experience that they seem to have mastered. You walk in, there's stuff that's been boiling for a while, they scoop it up, season it to your liking, weigh it, and you're off. Faster than a burger, healthier than a hoagie, tastier than your mamaw's waffles. I thought about docking them a star because they ran out of crab when I visited, but their attitude was exemplary and their friendliness was contagious. I happily waited (3rd) in line and we had an amazing feast with 44oz daiquiris from around the corner, seated across the street from the cemetery as we ate, ate, ATE to our heart's content. It's out of the way--REALLY out of the way--but if you're heading between NOLA and Shreveport, you owe it to yourself to visit. There's not a lot on the menu, which means they can perfect what they sell, but BOY do they! The place was so busy that I doubt they'll remember me, but I promise you I'll never forget them. ”
“ Best boiled tripe on this side of heaven 10/10 ”
“ This place is excellent. Soul food boiled with a Cajun flare. Boil crawfish are the best and if you dare, the pig feet are delicious. Want hard to get seafood like alligator they got it, so go get it. ”
“ Small but big on taste Carry out only though. They have very good boiled crawfish and snow crabs! Do not ask for spicy unless you can handle it ... ”
“ When Cenla was sold out, this place came through for us! It was late in the season but it was for my wedding day. We drove an hour to pick up. I would definitely return! ”
“ Good prices good people lead to a good time ”
