About three weeks ago, we were fortunate to have Cooper wait on us and Babin's is fortunate to have Cooper. Your food is good and Cooper made the experience exceptionally good. We hope you apppreciate him as much as we have!

Because everything else was amazing, you’re getting 5 stars, because I work in marketing and know that a 1 star is detrimental to your business, but please read…
We waited for one hour for a table, which it was a beautiful Friday night coming off Mardi Gras, so of course everyone was here! I had planned this date night for two days all because I could not stop thinking about getting a big basket full of hush puppies.. it was the only thing that I wanted...I had been dreaming about them! I had planned my whole day around them. Honestly, I might’ve whispered “this is the moment” when I sat down.
And then… the server hit me with the words no human should ever have to hear: “We’re out of hush puppies.”
The food I did get was delicious, perfectly cooked, no complaints there. But how am I supposed to enjoy great food when the ONE thing my soul craved was missing? It’s like going to Disney World and being told Mickey called in sick.
So yes, everything tasted great. Yes, the service was lovely. But my heart? Empty. My plate? Hush‑puppy‑less. My dreams? Crushed like a cornbread‑flavored tragedy.
I have emotional damage.

Our waitress was very nice and did a good job. Unfortunately, that's about all that was good about this place. The food was bland and poorly seasoned. The stingray appetizer was okay, but the seafood gumbo was poor. Lastly, the seafood jambalaya was TERRIBLE. There was barely any seafood in it, the rice was overcooked and clumped together, and the entire dish had little to no flavor. Had I not been there with a friend, I would have sent it back. I doubt I ate more than a quarter of the dish before letting the waitress take it away. Definitely should have tried a fresh fish dish; at least I would have gotten to actually eat some seafood. Very disappointing meal, especially for the $ paid. If you want a good seafood meal, I would avoid this place; definitely better options out there.

Came here last week on a weekday and it literally took an hour for our food to arrive. What's the point in ordering a side dish like gumbo if it takes an arrive? I think that the server forgot about it and it "magically" appeared after we had mentioned the long wait. Might take a lot for me to return and it's a shame because this restaurant used to be good.

This place has definitely changed for the worst. If I could give it a negative (-5) rating, I would. Went here today with family to eat lunch and had an absolutely horrible experience. Things started to go wrong when a waiter named Joey who was not serving us, brought an extra drink we didn't request. When I politely questioned it, he let out what sounded like a grunt and walked away without a response. I spoke with the Manager, Kai who said he would look into it but never returned. Also, after speaking with the Manager, our waiter Joshua approached our table and when trying to speak with him, he stopped us, saying he prefers not to get involved since we already spoke with the manager. Josh was only concerned about the food, not the horrible experience we were having while he was our server. Just want to point out, there was no follow up by the Manager, no apology from the random waiter who wondered over to our table and disrupted our lunch. I want to make sure this is clear, mistakes happen so it wasn't bringing over the extra drink by mistake, it was the rude behavior that followed, the lack of care and concern about our experience from all involved. We used to visit this place often, but the service has definitely gone down. The food was just okay. Overall, a very disappointing experience. We have scratched this restaurant off the list of go to restaurants as we will not be back.
