Food was good. Both my dad and I got a Shrimp Po Boy, he got his with Gumbo, I got mine with French Fries. The Sandwich and sides were all very good. My dad thought the gumbo was a bit thin, the french fries were absolutely amazing with their double-fried deliciousness. Shrimp Po boys were very good, though with fewer large shrimp than some other shrimp po boys I've had. Overall good meals. We had the Crawfish bites and cheeseburger egg rolls, they were okay but nothing to really write home about. All around a great experience with very good food.

I always drive by on my way home and wanted to give it a try. I waited 37 minutes for food (I'm patient so not upset about that) but got home, opened package of what I thought was going to be Shrimp sliders. Nooo shrimp at all, I couldn't believe it. How does that even happen?The etoufee looked as though it was frozen then defrosted. I gave it 3 bites but no thanks. I'm so disappointed, I won't be back. I will say the daquiri was good but I just spent $37 dollars and got a good daquiri out if it. I'm not mad, it's my bad, live and learn.

Found this establishment in September now we go couple times a month and whenever we have out-of-town guest with us we take them there. Today was one of those days my sister from California and Las Vegas came in October and as we were passing by to go too our house today they said to take them to the last place you took them to which was retreat. They love the Boudin balls , catfish, the whole vibe and atmosphere. Could’ve used a little bit more sausage or meat in the gumbo to much rice, same issue we noticed last time but the rue is good. We love your place and the staff are great as well. Every time I go in there and I’ll I go two or three times a month Dine in and take out. It is always clean, which I love. Absolutely, love the daiquiris.
