What People Are Saying

from Google

"Right on the corner in downtown Tuscaloosa this small chain offers a plethora of seafood options a full bar and a really interesting decor. First off the char grilled oysters are the star. Buttery smokey grilled flavor combined with some of that oyster sea brine is an unbeatable combo. They also offer snow crab claws which we enjoyed in the New Orleans sauce. It is a pity only the claws though. Also a small crab fork would be very helpful for both these dishes. The bar has a few draft beers I think an IPA is the best pairing with many of their spicy offerings. The large interior has upstairs dining plenty of open bar seating and booths to cater to your preference. Prices are higher given it's seafood several hours from the sea but not outrageous just be prepared. Personally I really enjoyed thought it was worth the dinner experience and would recommend."

"I wanted to experience southern food and I was not let down! Oysters, gumbo, catfish and crawfish sauce were excellent! (Not all consumed at the same time) key lime pie was the best I ever had! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, you need to eat here, especially if you want to try a southern dish!!!"

"This was an exceptional experience! Our server, Chris (?) was absolutely fantastic. He was very polite and attentive. Great job on him! The atmosphere is very nice but a little loud for quiet conversation. The food was also very good. The New Orleans Oysters were amazing. The steaks were good, but to me lacked flavor without the Creole sauce. The other items were also very good. Exceptional place for a Father's Day dinner with the family."

★★★★

"Food was really good. Had a longer than expected wait to get seated. Redfish Oreleans had really good marination of Orleans sauce. Jumblaya soup was also awesome."

"Stopped in for the evening on business and saw this gem across the street from my room at Embassy Suites. The atmosphere was fun and the food was delicious! I sat at the bar and our bartender was immediately attentive. The oysters were wonderful and my Cajun Redfish was on point. I ate the oysters to fast to take pictures. Sorry, I'll definitely be going back. I'll upload more pictures. If your gonna be in Tuscaloosa anytime soon, it's very much worth your time and money!"
