We had a great experience here along with awesome food! The staff were kind, funny, and genuinely good people! The food was authentic Creole and Cajun style with fresh homemade taste that made it hard to stop eating. We were pleasantly surprised to have the best alligator bites ever at this little place! The drinks were also made well, fairly strong but not too over the top. I wish I lived closer so I could make a weekly trip to revisit this little gem.

My wife and I went as a change of pace - try something new. Alligator bites were good, my seafood player was good. My wife's food on the other hand was issue after issue! She got a cup of jambalaya but it was all rice - she had to send it back so they could change the scoop of rice so it included meat. Then, the bourbon brownie was a hockey puck, literally a rock, couldn't cut it with a knife or fork but could have broken a window with it! Luckily for us the waiter said he would take it off the bill like he was doing us a favor, uh yeah that's the least you could do. It was supposed to be a pleasant night out on the town but it was a comedy of errors. She grabbed something from McDonald's on the way home!

As a food blogger for A Pinch of Butter! I was on vacation in Raleigh NC and I stumbled on this restaurant and I am so glad I did. The atmosphere was inviting, the food was incredible, and the Pimento Cheeses Fritters was fried to perfection. Me and my bestie had the seafood platter and we both give them a 10/10.

A true downtown Raleigh staple. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere had a nice creole vibe. The beignet's were okay. I recommend the Seafood platter, Taste of Louisiana, Pimento cheese fritters and the fried oysters.

How difficult is parking? On a Thursday night?

Cindy Russo | Jan 18, 2019

If you want to park close it can be difficult as there isn't off street parking for a few blocks. As long as you don't want to park right in front of The Easy it's not to hard. The immediate downtown area has several public parking lots and street parking is free after 5pm.
