Great food, not great service.. This is my new favorite place to eat in Katy. We ordered a pound of crawfish, taters and corn, and the catfish. The crawfish had a great flavor and was just the right amount of spicy and the taters and corn complemented it perfectly. The catfish is some of the best I've ever had as well; plus you can even buy their cornmeal mix if you want to make it at home.

Service is not the best - while they have a HUGE amount of seating, they don't staff enough to serve that many people and the kitchen also cannot keep up with it. Management prefers to let folks have a seat rather than wait for a table, which I'm not sure I agree with. I think if we had at least been spoken to and been told that was the case we would have been fine waiting.

The owner is very nice and makes you feel like you're family over for a cookout. The atmosphere is very party like, while still being family oriented. Its definitely the place to take friends from out of town, and I can't wait to go back despite the delay.

Authentic Homemade Cajun Food. I love this place! It is extremely casual - it's a converted garage with an oyster shell parking lot - but makes you feel like you're at a cookout at a friends' house. The food is very authentic, very good and very reasonably priced. My favorite is the fried catfish and my husband loves the amazing ribeye special on Saturday nights. You can buy their homemade sausages and other meats to go and top off your dinner with a shaved ice. Yeah you right!

The food is amazing. Gator bites r delicious. Frog legs, delicious. My sister got catfish and said it was the best she ever had and she eats a lot of catfish. There seasoning is sooo good. We bought some to take home. The service was amazing too. The service was amazing too. She even gave us some wild hog for free that they were cooking out back. Best Cajun food I've ever had

I was confused driving up because of the food truck outside. But read the reviews and looked through photos and realized it is a sit down restaurant. The atmosphere is just like it says, a shack style with fold up tables and bench seating. It was cold outside and the type of building is open with plastic over the windows which helped the cold breeze from coming in. There was only 1 waitress and she was super nice and was tasked to wait on everyone by herself which she handled very nicely. There were about 5 tables with people inside and about 4 tables outside with people. Thank you very much to that waitress of today! The food...was absolutely delicious. I ordered the combo plate with catfish and shrimp and it was prepared perfect to my liking. The breading on the catfish was light and lightly flavored which I thought was perfect! The catfish did not taste wild and was tender and not at all rubbery (like what happens when its overcooked and sitting too long). The shrimp had just enough spice to not be too spicy and yet it was not flavorless. It had a little cajun flair to it, but subtle and I thought that was perfect! I also ordered the gumbeaux which I really liked. It was similar to a few restaurant gumbo dishes I've had before. All in all, I had a really good experience. I get cold easy, so I was little bothered by the semi-outdoor seating. Thank you guys for a great meal!

I got the catfish and shrimp and wasn't too fond of the shrimp. I think the batter is made with some kind of hot sauce. It wasn't hot, it just had a twang to it. And the cocktail sauce wasn't what I was use to. My wife and our friends said that the crawfish were really good. That's why they get four stars.

This place is absolutely amazing. It has a cajun vibe and the drinks are stellar. Southern fried food and barbecue at it's best. They have some banging crawfish when in season and their house made barbecue and sausage is as Texas as it gets. If you are driving down I10 in or out of Houston you need to give this place a try. It will be that little place you tell your friends about.

The service was amazing. Melinda, Beverly, Mike, Corbin and Jay always make us feel so welcomed and the food is always amazing. The Crawfish are so fast but momma Beverly deviled eggs are to die for. Literally heavenly. Thank you Good Ole Boys.

Just moved here from Louisiana in December. I'm pregnant and my cravings for crawfish are neverending. I was so excited when I found this place. 9.99 per lb is expensive but the flavor is amazing! I've tried one other crawfish place in the Houston/Katy area and this was the best ❤

Fantastic food with an eclectic Louisiana atmosphere. Jay and the staff treat you like family. I got the beignets (best I've had since NO) my husband got the skillet, and my dad got the gumbo eggs. The gumbo eggs, while not pretty, were amazing. Next time we go out with the family I'll get those and share the beignets with the table.

I am originally from Louisiana, I have been living here for over 15 years, this place transformed me all the way back to old Louisiana food. I mean the food before all the fancy casino food came. This is the food that I was raised on!! Now if you are looking for a 5 star exterior or interior this isn't the place for you. The crawfish is super expensive but worth the extra $$

Great service, kid friendly....fun atmosphere. Bosses were there and made us feel right at home. Caught us up on all the upcoming events....and basically hands down the BEST crawfish I have EVER HAD!!! It was seasoned just right, and sooooo tender. Huge crawfish with delicious potatoes and corn. If you haven't tried this place, you need to!!!

This place is awesome! Catfish was great! Amazing to have crawfish again, and the vibe from the inside or outside is fun for the family. Servers were fun and the rest of the staff went out of their way for us too.

A known local gem in Katy, and maybe an otherwise unknown place to everyone else. This place is a no frills Cajun seafood establishment, from shrimp the size of your hand to boudin balls and gumbo poached eggs, there plenty of delicious options to choose from. Fantastic. Order a michelada while you wait on your food, enjoy!
