The food seems a little expensive until you received your order. My wife and I ordered a seafood platter, we got a total of 4 meals from one seafood platter. The taste was wonderful and Lisa was a great host. This is definitely a hidden gem. I highly recommend this place for some great Cajun seafood. Oh yea, try the gumbo!

my first time coming here. Food is great!! ABSOLUTELY the BEST costumer service I have ever had!! will definitely be back.

This place should be packed every day. Excellent fried seafood. We had 3 adults and 2 children, ordered 2 Seafood Platters, and ate family style. We had enough leftovers for 4-5 more meals. The platter comes with generous portions of shrimp, fish, oysters, crab cakes AND frog legs. The food is less expensive and better quality than Smokehouse. Lisa is a sweetheart, and the customer service is amazing. You feel right at home. It’s also very CLEAN, cozy environment.

She cooks with Love <3 best place for seafood etc in Jena , La

My wife and I stopped in for lunch on a business trip, and I am well pleased to have come across this little jewel. The service, price, quality, and portion sizes were all very good, and I look forward to eating here again soon. Try the fried shrimp and oysters!

Lisa is the waitress and the chef. Food is always fresh and delicious, portions are very generous, and prices can’t be beat. Best oyster poboy I have ever had, and I have had many in New Orleans, Lafayette, and BR.

Extremely nice people! Food made to order! Huge portions, seafood platter feeds two easily with food to take home! Would come here again!

You can't ask for better hospitality than here. Lisa is always willing to take care of her guests and the food is awesome. If you're near by, you gotta try.
