Patrons give their orders at the counter and their order is called when ready. There wa always a line waiting to roder, but the flow kept moving. We were served in 10 minutes or so. The choices included baskets, po' boys fo various kinds, interesting appetizers, and a wide variety of fish choices, including jambalaya. All were very reasonably priced.

Nothing fancy which is perfect for enjoying a nice glass of wine and seafood. Great taste. Great price and great service.

We love this restaurant! We have been 6 times since they opened. The atmosphere is great! Unfortunately I cannot speak about much of the menu, as we have ordered the same entree every time! The fish tacos! You can get them fried, or grilled, and regular or spicy! When you order spicy the order taker yells...Make it snappy!

Fish tacos were great. Excellent gumbo. Oysters on Sunday are 50¢ each. Great prices. Popular spot in Bentonville. Busy at 8:40 on Sunday.

The ambience was fun, but in the end, the food was just average at best. The catfish fillets for which they are "famous" were surprisingly small.

I had heard a lot of good things about this place since it opened so I took my fiance and mom here after visiting Crystal Bridges. Wow, what a let-down. Both my red snapper and my mom's salmon were burnt (not charred) on the bottom and not very tasty. The sides were pretty good. My fiance's Jambalaya was just okay.... More

The seafood gumbo was topped with fluffy white rice. A generous portion of shrimp was included with the andouille sausage and other ingredients. This gumbo was Cajun seasoned in the New Orleans style. You could have blind folded me and I would have thought this food was being served in the French Quarter. My catfish basket included fries and hush... More

Good food in a very informal atmosphere. I'm from Boston and was pleased to find good fish in Arkansas. I had not had hush puppies before but enjoyed them.

This is a great place to go for raw oysters while being in a landlocked state. Stop right there. Please please please eat nothing that comes from their fryer. Quite positive the same grease was used in the several times I've been there.....over the past eight years

This is fine dining at it's most casual. You stand in line to order, then food is brought to the tables. We had the jambalaya and the gumbo with grits. Both were absolutely delicious, authentic, and we decided this was our favorite meal on a 3-day road trip, beating out some incredible ribs and a delightful vietnamese pho. Very economical,... More
