Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped by after reading the many positive reviews here on TA. Ordered a bowl of gumbo---had sausage, chicken, okra and other vegs over rice. It was very flavorful but had a tad too much liquid and was slightly fatty but still quite tasty. Had a fresh cuke and tomato side salad with it which was perfect and it all came with French bread good for dipping. Loved the eclectic ambiance and the signage is quite comical. Easy access right off Skinner with plenty of parking. Service was friendly and attentive. Great prices as well!

If you didn't look at the road behind you, you might think you were in the Louisiana Bayou or the Everglades. With a cool old school wooden facade and tables in the gravel under huge trees, it was a fun place for lunch. I liked my gator tail basket with the gator cooked lightly and not over battered or fried. The large hush puppies were good with a touch of sweetness. My wife liked here shrimp and crab salad and it was nice to discover an interesting new place. I thought I read something about this being here since 1946, which is kind of cool in this day and age of generic chain restaurants and we will certainly drop by again the next time we are in town.

Decided to grab a bite to eat before making errands at this joint. It is located under an old oak tree and you sit outside. So I suggest dressing accordingly. The service was quick and all of the entrees were made on site. If you are gluten intolerant, there is a nice choice of food to pick from. The fish gumbo was the best and it was very flavorful. My hubby enjoyed the blackened shrimp po boy sandwich with homemade potato salad. I loved the blackened shrimp po boy salad with a side of marinated tomatoes and cucs. Abdolutely delicious. This will be my weekly go to restaurant to have a super bayou meal. And, did I tell you? The beer is ice-cold. YUM.

This place was recommended by a friendly local. We ate here 3 days in a row for lunch and I am not one to go to the same place more than once when exploring a new area! The seafood gumbo kept us coming back. On the 3rd day, I had half a muffuletta sandwich to dip in my gumbo and my husband had the Cajun meatloaf. All soo good. Very cool vibe. Very friendly owners and staff. Thanks Liz for making us feel like locals. We will be back this fall!

Delicious - fun- great atmosphere. Dine under the big tree - listen to some really fun music and enjoy this delightful little gem of a restaurant. I was afraid it would be too hot to sit outside but it’s really shady and cool even on a hot day. Everyone working here is really nice . Check it out !

Saw a news piece on the local news which prompted us to try it out! Was looking forward to the Fried Green Tomatoes. Happy didn't know the piece was airing, so there was a mad rush to the restaurant. Sadly, there were no more Fried Green Tomatoes by the time we went for lunch. We both had the Fried Catfish BLT Special with the tomato and cucumber salad. Boy was it GOOD!!! Ordered a side of Hush Puppies, which were great and needed another side order of those! Would definitely return!!

Been going weekly for years, but these new owners don’t cut it. Stood at the window like an idiot for 10mins being ignored, then waited another 20mins for my simple order of Jambalaya and Gumbo that was ALREADY MADE. All they needed to do was put it on a plate. Finally went to ask for my food to go cause who can have hours long lunch on a work day? No apologies and the guy in the back was kinda dik about it. This guy should work at the DMV not in a restaurant. Shame, I used to LOVE this place.

We had Blackened Shrimp, Blackened Chicken, Gumbo - so so wonderful and there are several sides to choose from. We had Hushpuppies - a must and a salad.

Whenever I get a hankering for some good Cajun cooking, I head to Happy's place. Not only does he have great food but he is also a fellow veteran which is a win-win for me.

A really cute spot and we loved the food. I had chicken & sausage gumbo and beans and rice. My wife had chicken tenders. When we were served our server added the gumbo was mild and the beans and rice a little spicy. He let us know there was a whole rack of different spice/sauce and to help ourselves. We had Miller Lite and a Coors Lite ($3) each. They have PBR for $2. Outdoor seating is all that’s available. Shady with Cajun music for a back drop.
