The food was delicious! They were moderately helpful about gluten free options. I had blackened salmon with a baked potato and green beans and it was great. The high chair was sticky and had the straps cut off, so our baby was continually trying to climb out of her chair. House wine was good and $1 off for happy hour.

Food and service were average. Restaurant is dated and small. The catfish tasted so bland and the oysters were full of rocks so they weren't cleaned or prepped properly prior to cooking. I'm ok with all of that but I ended up being glutened after letting my waitress & kitchen know that I am gluten free. I looked through the description of the items I ordered and none of them had any gluten ingredients listed but I also asked the waitress to double check with the kitchen staff to confirm. They confirmed there was no gluten in those items. I'm only sensitive so my body won't react from cross contamination or small amounts. I only react from a large amount present in my food. I've been really sick all day and the only meal I ate yesterday was there. If you are gluten free, skip this restaurant especially if you have celiac disease.
