As a regular visitor of New Orleans (I go there to eat!), I was pretty excited to find this place when I stopped in Ybor on my way through Tampa. The lunch menu was mostly pasta, which we all ordered. It was probably the worst pasta dish I have ever had. Either the pasta was overcooked or it was from the night before, and was tossed in a pot of hot water and reheated. It was slimy and soft. The sauce didnt taste like much other than a random mix of cajun spices thrown together. The flavor balance was non-existent and I would even go as far as to say it was offensive. I would not recommend this place at all.

Gumbo and drinks were great in the past, but I returned this evening and the gumbo was awful. The bartender said the chef was new, very disappointed. What used to be authentic gumbo filled with chicken and sausage and all the spices that make it a New Orleans dish has been replaced with white rice, half a plate of a plain, greenish can gravy, and 5 pathetically small slices of sausage.

Ridiculous! Wont be back! Sat 15 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. Actually moved to the bar thinking that was the problem. Wrong! Crappy bartenders, one older guy and young girl! TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!!! Shame on the management for even keeping people like this working!!!! One star is too generous!!!! Disregard good reviews! Must be their personal peeps!

Stepped in on a late night. The DJ was playing great music! The drinks were awesome. Loved the zombie... definitely recommend this. The burger with Cajun fries was tasty but the meat was very soft and a bit weird. Also tried the gumbo with tiger shrimp. The shrimp had no flavor and the gumbo only tasted like okra and was not complex like true New Orleans gumbo.

If youre in Ybor, stop in here! The food is amazing and the bartenders actually know how to make great cocktails. Just moved to the area from Boston, and if you know Boston at all, this place would would fit right in the South End. Great food and drinks. Just stop in of youre in the area, you wont be disappointed.

As a visitor from Texas we were looking for something to do. We saw that the place was poppin on a Saturday night and the dj kept the music going. Saturday night he also took request. Our waiter kept our drinks coming in a timely manner and she was super sweet. I would come back. Thanks for the good times.

Mediocre at best. Waited far to long to get my order of the jambalaya which is small, over priced, extremely over spiced and served on a bed of undercooked rice. Sweating as I suck down my half sized, full priced old fashioned that could only be classified as a shot. Very dissapointed.

Excellent Food, great service and atmosphere and drinks! Chuck and Jerry are absolutely wonderful and I always enjoy seeing them when I go there and they provide excellent service and are always nice and professional! I highly recommend them! ~Raven -Bay City Tattoos

The shrimp etouffee was the best Ive had since my last trip to New Orleans. The jambalaya was good and spicy. First class craft bar. The manger also told us they were going to ship in fresh crawfish when theyre in season will definitely return for that.

Executive Chef was amazing! Great customer service. The food was late and we were compensated with free drinks and dessert. The Mac and cheese was decent.. Second chance and the food came extremely late again. I wont recommend this place.

The executive chef was extremely wonderful served our party free dessert and shots with 20% off our bill because we complained our food came late. Oh yeah! And it was all worth it! Our party ended on a great note

Food and service was trash... Took an hour to get pre made mac and cheese and 4 shrimp... Mac and cheese came out cold...sent it back and it took them an additional 20 mins to bring food back. Very disappointing!

Trendy, cozy place. While it is dog friendly, they dont offer dog bowls. It was very busy. My assumption is due to Christmas parties so the wait time was long for drinks and food from the server.

Taz Beattie

Drinks were overpriced and they didnt even have all the beers listed. If you come here looking for authentic cajun fiod, go elsewhere. They have no clue how to cook cajun.

Great food! Try the jambalaya! Bartender was not very friendly or helpful and ended up messing our order up a couple times after getting smart with our group.

The only negative - the music is crazy loud, you cant really talk in that place. But the service is great, staff is super awesome, nice version of NOLA

Clark Hickman

Cool atmosphere, good cocktails and great food. The po boy was really loaded with shrimp. The gumbo however was short on the meat.

Tori Bathe

Good service and great food! You dont wait too long for service, and you dont rub out of things to watch on the 7 tvs

Sunday afternoon... great food from Chef Jon-David... ShockTop on draught... live music! What else could I ask for?

Zach Walters

If youre looking for a good menu item here, I suggest the shrimp po boy or the Mac and cheese. Both really good!

Dj was willing to play requested music. It was a Saturday, they played early 2000s to now hip hop and R&B.

The food was pretty good. Nice staff but seems like theyre still getting things aligned
