"I sat by the bar here for LSU family weekend and Rae and Andrea helped me and were great! Now I came about an hour before closing but my oysters were good and my fish shrimp and grits were 10/10. Whenever I come back to LSU and BR ill be back!"
Chip Dizárd
"Very friendly staff, we drove in from San Antonio and got there 1/2 hour before close. We told them we could take the food to go, and they said we would do no such thing. The grilled oysters were delicious, and the steak and fries were seasoned well and cooked right. The alligator tail was good also . The Crab cake was the only thing, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Highly recommended."
REEF
