7.5
A newer-feeling Cajun seafood-boil option with a menu that mixes boil staples and fried seafood sides. The best move is to order one signature boil plus one crisp fried item, keeping the spread focused so the seafood stays the headline.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fried Softshell Crabs (2), Fried Oyster (6), Shrimp Cocktail (8)
What Makes it Special: Cajun-style seafood with both boil and fried options in one stop.
