I stopped here because it was close and I was hungry. I go the "First Mate's Plate" which was fried fish and fried oysters. The oysters were pretty good, not great. The fish was nicely breaded but overcooked. The mac and cheese was great! It wasn't bad but was sorely overpriced for the quality. I guess when I go to... More

I'm a seafood lover and enjoy stopping in this place for their very fresh lobstah rolls! I love mine NAKED! Coupled with Lobster Bisque, this is a must STOP if you like Lobster! They also serve crab and now serving BBQ. What a great place!!

This is a funky good fish hut, barbecue tables and paper table cloths, and good food, The prices are a little high for this kind of place,but you war getting lobster rolls , and clams and good seafood, so I guess it worth it, They have takeout also,

It is the perfect place to listen to Zydeco music very casual and eat your favorite shell fish dish, ribs or lobster. Their lobster rolls are the bomb

I was in the area for business and had to try their main lobster rolls. It was delicious and I loved the seasoning and the ample chunks of lobster meat in the bread roll. The bread roll was just as good as the lobster and really tied everything together - perfect texture of toasted garlic bread and lobster. The staff... More

This place had several recommendations. You have to order from a counter, like a fast food restaurant. Since I am not a lobster eater, we ordered a combo which include the lobster roll for my wife and a BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich for me. The rolls and the chowders, both red and white were delicious. My wife loved her lobster... More

The oyster Po'Boy was stuff with tender fried oysters. I was amazed at the quantity and tenderness of the oysters. I'll be sure to eat there whenever I make it back to the area.

Delicious Lobster rolls. I've had mine both "dressed" and "undressed". My favorite is the "undressed"! A bit expensive, but well worth the price.
