The staff was so friendly even though we arrived a little late, 20 minutes to closing. The food was piping hot and delicious

Myself and two friends were in town for a few days and were extremely pleased we found this not so hidden Gem. Our waitress, Amanda was superb, gave us some wonderful suggestions, spent time at our table swapping stories and even brought out a bowl of crawfish for us to try(which she professional demonstrated how to eat). We tried raw oysters( meaty, sweet, fresh as can be) alligator bites, fried mushrooms and boudin eggrolls to start, all of which were tasty and serving sizes for apps were plentiful. Our entress consisted of cajun steak, fried shrimp and chicken gumbo. Wouldn't hesitate to get any of them again, they were delicious. So much food we ended up needing two boxes and 3 containers to take all the leftovers with us. If you find yourself hungry, don't even think twice, just make your way to the crawfish barn; as i finish up here I'll qoute Amanda - "If yall leave here hungry tonight, it wont be our fault" - man, was she right. From your friends in Wisconsin, Go Pack Go

Very active atmosphere! Great Cajun cuisine! Staff was very attentive. Food did arrive to the table in a timely manner. Food was seasoned very well. There were a few things on the menu that were not available. Overall a great place for families and friends to partake in a good meal and enjoy each other's company.
