Initially we were going to go to Louie's Backyard (recommended by another traveler). However, while we were out and about this morning we stopped at Louie's Backyard to inquire about the buffet. Well, the person my husband asked was kinda rude...and he said the place appeared unkept and dirty, but we were still gonna try it because of the recommendation.... More

Daddy's was a pleasant surprise. We got lucky and were there for happy hour, which had great drink specials. Got the oysters rockafeller, craw fish, and some shrimp. All were really great!

If you like Dirty Al's, you'll love this place too. Not quite as noisy, seems a bit cleaner and more upscale (real dishes), maybe even a little "hip"....great ambiance, good for families and couples, energetic, friendly & attentive waitstaff, and really good, fresh food. I love the quality of the fried shrimp and my husband love the delicate, small perfectly... More

The combo appetizer slammed. The fried crawfish was so lushes with the homemade ranch dip. The frog legs and fried crawfish were sooo good. I have two daughters who... More

The shrimp is fabulous as it is just like the other "Al" locations. If you like Dirty Al's, you will love Daddy's. If we are in the mood for fish, we love the Almondy. All the portions are nice, the food is always hot, and the staff is very attentive.

We really enjoyed our meal. The lobster was really good and the filet was flavorful. Overall I believe it was a great meal for the price and I would definitely go back. The live entertainment was good however the songs were a little depressing. We all had to take a Zoloft when we got home

The food is great and there was never a wait even when seating 6 people. The beer is cold and the margaritas are really good. Families welcome to a great atmosphere.

This is the best Shrimp Bisque on the island. Friendly staff, nice daily specials, fresh seafood to buy as well. Very good Creole food.

I stumbled across their website and when I told my daughters (12 and 14) frog's legs and fried gator were on the menu, they both said that is where they wanted to go to dinner. It is a casual atmosphere, with a nice bar area made of wood and brick. The dining area is mostly wooden slat bench/booths with a... More

The waitress quoted $3.50 for margaritas--and charged us $5.25 I ordered the Mardi Gras combo plate with shrimp, fish, oysters---there were only 3 shrimp, a small filet of fish, and the oysters were mushed up and served on a piece of toast--all for $15!!!!! Needless to say I am disappointed
