- DDDana DennisDec 19, 20251.0I keep getting notifications to answer questions on the place. I tagged this place in my maps as a future place of interest to go visit. TBD.
- HCHenry CelayaDec 13, 20251.0I ordered a seafood boil shrimp and instead I got shrimp soup with too many onions and zero butter. If I wanted a soup I would have ordered one
- AKAlston kwanDec 4, 20251.0This oyster bar is a knock-off and the food is just average. It’s nowhere near the quality of the STN Group restaurants. The ingredients didn’t feel particularly fresh, and the server didn’t even ask us what heat level we wanted for our soup—he asked other tables, just not us. Overall, the service throughout the meal was pretty mediocre.
- MBMello B.Dec 1, 20255.0Outstanding value for high quality food in a town full of way overpriced meals.
- VBVicktoria BassNov 10, 20253.0We ordered the jambalaya & gumbo with chicken. The food was great. I asked for a extra bread and the man only gave me 1 because thats what was in the toaster in front of him. We had some bread to go and they didnt toast it. The staff seems irritated and overworked. On our way out of the casino, one of the employees chased us down and asked me to put 0$ for tip since i decided to leave nothing (on the receipt). I put $0 said Okay and she said , "can i ask why you didnt leave a tip?" I replied "we forgot to, it was nothing personal we just didn't think about it". She replied "you didn't THINK to tip my cooks? You didn't THINK to tip my servers?" With A terrible attitude. I told her "You know what? With THAT attitude no", and walked away. Maybe she was the management, i didn't check. I usually only leave a tip if something was significant in service or even if we have extra cash on us. My husband usually pays and he always leaves a tip. But i paid this time. We were tired, drove 5hrs and just wanted to eat and sleep haha. I even offered to leave a tip before she got an attitude but i didnt have extra cash on me and i paid with card. This all occurred Saturday November 8th at about 2pm.
