Aside from the amazing wrestling they host by AWR! The Catfish nuggets were only a kids item. However, I’ll take two anytime! These nugs were so good. In the words of my daughter “ these are melty.” Literally they were just nice big super melty...Read More

Visiting from CT- I absolutely loved the crawfish hot pot. It was my first time eating a crawfish, and definitely not my last. My meal was massive and flavorful. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I can't wait to come back!
