"I found it!!!! I finally found the best Cajun food is this area!!! The fried catfish is so crispy and the batter is full of flavor…. We tasted many dishes and were impressed with them all!"

"Got the chicken and spaghetti special today as well as the catfish and freedom fries. I don't think they're called freedom fried here but they were crispy on the outside and nice and decently soft potato on the inside with tasty flavor and good amount of salt on them.
The chicken and spaghetti, along with 2 pieces of I think garlic butter toast, was tasty and filling. You get a good amount for 10 bucks and the chicken is shredded mixed into the pasta. The pasts being I believe a Cajun seasoned pasta (pic below). Along with the delicious coke I could not finish the whole plate. I mightve been able to but then I'd get the itis and I needed to go back to work.
The catfish was also yummy and crispy. I didn't like the tarter sauce the catfish came with as it had a horseradish taste to it and that's the one flavor I don't really like when it comes to sauces. Regardless, the catfish by itself was good. I can't say it's the best I've had around here but it's up there for sure.
Did I mention how good the fries were? I'm the type that can eat fries by itself but I also like them with ketchup; but no ketchup is needed with their fries.
I've ate here twice in the past and while I don't particularly remember what I got before, I also don't remember having any complaints so they deserve at least 4.5 stars but I'm definitely bumping it to a 5 because I've had no complaints and their coke is really good too.
(Not review related) Thanks to the kind Veteran that was in front of us in line for his invaluable service and for covering our meal."

"Pretty damn good place. Very good red beans and rice. I had the chicken spaghetti today and was shocked when it was seasoned correctly and I didn't even have to add any hot sauce. It was great. Nothing I have tried here was bad. Very happy customer"
