About this business

We're a fun and funky family restaurant on the banks of the Brazos River specializing in Cajun and Creole cooking, we're happy to keep it spicy or make it milder if that's your preference. We've been voted the best seafood in town. We serve hot boiled crawfish and fresh oysters on the half shell when they're in season. Awesome pastas, burgers, and salads with lots of other options for people that don't eat seafood. We also have a full bar and a great beer selection. Be sure to ask for "duck bread" and feed the river wildlife... read more

I have been a few times over the years. I have normally found their food to be good and staff nice. However i will never order their boild Crawfish ever again. I mean who boils Crawfish in plain water no seasonings the sprinkles seasoning on the shell " The part you Don't Eat " Someone needs to take the cook out to Te'jun over in Neighboring Robinson Tx. For a lesson on how to correctly boil Crawfish.

This place is beyond awful. Gumbo was cold. Drinks tasted void of tequila & they mix them in giant plastic pails on the bar....friggin disgusting!!!!!! The jerk chicken salad had "sauce" all over the chicken. The salad contained an extensive list of ingredients- lettuce & a two red onion slices...wow....what a creative salad! And apparently chocolate sauce qualifies as "hot fudge" here. This is the worst place I have eaten in some time & I eat out at least 6X every week. I dunno how this place is in business. If you want caj... read more
