The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

Really sub par. We had hush puppies, catfish/shrimp and shrimp n grits. Hush puppies were ok but small. Turns out meals came with some anyway but they were clearly not the same ones (no green onions). Strange. Patties liked the catfish. Fried shrimp clearly had appearance of being small frozen pre battered shrimp. They were nothing that a reputable Cajun restaurant should serve. More like red lobster. Shrimp n Grits had some very small shrimp. Tough sausage was scattered. . Gravy/sauce was much too salty. Horribly unbalanced dish with no skill shown. . Will not return.

Fried crab claw appetizer was poor, lots of little bits and pieces probably bottom of bag. Cook should not have served. Kriminal Groton is very good with large chunks of crab meat. They have fried catfish and fried shrimp was good and the coleslaw side was good. The seafood gumbo was average.
