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

Stopped in on a road trip from San Antonio to Dallas on a Sunday afternoon. The views of the river were available from most any seat. The food was OUTSTANDING. Grilled cheese meal and Cheeseburger meals for the kids, Crawfish for the Mrs. and a Stacked High Roast beef and Au Juice for me. We all enjoyed every bit of it. The staff was SUPER friendly! Will definitely make a point to stop again when back that way.

We started off at the front bar area. Our server ignored a request and then proceeded to be inattentive. We paid out and went to side bar area. Tony and Anthony were great at tending to our requests, very good making sure we had whatever we needed and made the rest of our evening enjoyable. Whenever I go back I will certainly be in their area. Great job guys!!!

After spending over 30 minutes trying to find this place I had high hopes that the food would be good. However, this was not the case. Our waitress acted as if she had somewhere else to be and seemed as if our presence was bothering her. When we got our appetizers the mozzarella sticks were semi cold and the fried pickles were so hot we could barely touch them. We waited over 40 minutes for our food and it came out cold. The restaurant was barely even busy (we were there at 3pm). I ordered the fried shrimp dinner and my frie... read more

Our food was great. Here’s the problem. We ordered an appetizer which didn’t show up till the food... then my food had big hair on top. So I sent it back and he offered to make me another. Waited another 30 mins for my food after my husband was already done with his. Looked over it thoroughly... it tasted amazing. However by then I was t that hungry, we were staying in a hotel so I didn’t take it to go. Then he brought us the wrong bill... this young man had to apologize so many times to us, and the tables on both sides of u... read more
