“ I remember this place from the time I lived in the area 20 years ago, and I was very happy to see the place is still around (new location for 10 years now) and the food is just as good as I remember. ”
“ Only grabbed one picture due to just digging in. Gumbo was awesome, fried oysters were huge and delicious. Fried alligator was tender and flaky. Catfish could have been blackened, but still tasty. Finished off with the best pecan pie I've ever had. Highly recommend! ”

“ 1st timers! The food was good ! Customer service was great. Great NOLA vibe! Loved the signatured 1 dollar bill theme. Gator was excellent. The peach lemonade with a shot of vodka....YUM! I would DEFINITELY go back. ”
“ Real sweet tea!!!! It’s incredibly hard to find true brewed sweet iced tea in LA County and this place serves it up sweet chilled and with a perfect wedge of lemon. Being from the south, I’ve become accustomed to sweet tea, gumbo and properly seasoned Cajun fries and this place delivers in spades! I highly recommend their N’awlins Hot Chicken Sandwich. It comes breaded or grilled and it’s perfect with crispy pickles! During my visit the server was super attentive as was the manager. They checked in on us and made sure my toddler was happy! They’re so family friendly It’s a must stop place if you’re in the South Bay Area/ Redondo Beach. ”

I believe the owner was there... all because a lady... went out her way... too make sure we had enjoy the meal... not only is the food amazing with big bold taste... there's seafood boil stand out from the other's... they do a dry spice rub... that doesn't include butter... that's serviced on the side... the atmosphere is so inviting... most of there customers leave 1 bills ... with messages that... let you know they'd been here before ... you just have to check out this place if you're in the area ... mainly it you're a big seafood junkie... like myself ”
“ The food was very delicious. The drink was a tad sweet for an alcoholic beverage (my opinion only) but it was good. The restaurant was decorated for Halloween as well as the host having on a costume. The weather was great as well as the atmosphere. Our waiter was very pleasant and prompt. ”
