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

Loved this place! My husband surprised me with a trip to Waco to visit Magnolia Market. He asked if I wanted to stop and have lunch, not knowing where we were going or what he had up his sleeve, I said sure. He knows I love anything by the water. This was the coolest little place! He had the shrimp basket and said it was delicious. I had the etoufee. Oh my gosh what a generous portion and absolutely loaded with crawfish. Very good meal and even better with a cold beer! Great surprise and I know when we are in Waco again Buzz... read more

Been here several times and we were so disappointed. Took 10 minutes for a server to come to our table and the food was horrible. There were maybe 10 tables occupied at 4pm on a Saturday.

Lunch service is better than dinner. Food needs alot more seasoning and the wait staff need some schooling. 

Business response:

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. Please come back and let me buy you dinner and see if we can't do better. I apologize and hope to see you again!

It is a unique place to eat. I/we stop every time we drive through (coming from Oklahoma). New location is a bit tricky to get to but well worth turning around for. Fantastic food and I enjoy eating Gator. Keep up the good work and this Okie will continue to stop by.

Our waitress was Ashley. She was over the top excellent. And, the food was great. The lights went out while we were there. But, they handled it well and kept providing excellent service. Will definitely be back!
