Stumbling upon a Louisiana diner in the heart of Nashville felt like hitting culinary gold, especially for a Creole cuisine appreciator like myself. My only regret? Not fasting for a week to fully seize this gastronomic opportunity. The ambiance hits the right notes and the staff are as warm as a Southern sunset. But let’s be honest, atmosphere and charm would mean zilch if the food was lackluster. Fear not, this spot has your taste buds covered. The seafood gumbo is so packed with flavor, it should come with its own fireworks display. Alas, my stomach waved the white flag before I could tackle the alligator basket, but that’s just another delicious excuse to return.

Highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for southern Louisiana cooking! Everything we ordered here was so tasty and came out quick and piping hot. I got the seafood gumbo and my husband got the chicken and sausage both were so delicious in their own way. It was a gorgeous day and we sat in the outside area. Drinks were a great flavor profile and the food was a decent cost for each item. It was nice to not have everything over priced here. Our server Annabell was really sweet and had such a fun and friendly personality. Thank you

We’re in town for the afternoon, and needed somewhere to stop for dinner. I may not be the best judge on Crawfish Étouffée as I’ve only had it twice, but this was the best I ever had. I sampled the others food and it was all great as well. The outdoor eating area was great, and our server was very attentive.

Excellent food. Had gumbo and fried tomatoes, fried pickles and fried okra. Also, delicious beignets. Our server, Ronda was excellent as well. She was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. Will definitely be back for more.

Kind of small on the inside. I haven’t had alligator since a childhood trip to FL so had to try it. Very good, tasted fresh. Soups/gumbos are brought out right away as they’re already prepared, fried entrees like po boys are fried to order. I had the crawfish etouffe which I recommend for anyone not into a lot of spice. My sister had the seafood gumbo which she thought spicy, I thought it was fine. The food was great and will be eating the rest later. Main complaint is the music level, difficult to hear other people people at the table. Other than that our waiter was personable and would definitely recommend.

Menu should have more items. Gumbo was good I got the Gator bites, and crab & shrimp gumbo. The french bread is al-cart you have to order bread with your gumbo. The space in the restaurant is not very big so if you have a large group it might be hard to accommodate you.

Gumbo was great. Royal red shrimp were not fresh and not good. Catfish was average quality. What bothers me is the beignets were tiny. Not what is in the other pictures. The three we got equal one of the ones in the other pictures. Really not happy about that.
