Beginning of August and had a hankering for raw oysters although the rule is to wait until SeptembeR. They were a good size and full of flavor. The shrimp poboy at market price was a little higher than we like to pay but the shrimp were fried well and the bread was fresh. The service is always decent and the owner is always around at this very popular neighborhood spot. A real go to for seafood !

Our second time here and I have to say I I really enjoyed. So nice to eat at a seafood restaurant that you can actually taste the food. Seasoned well and sauces not overly salted. The hush puppies had great flavor but the outer fried shell a little hard. My husband got the soft shell crabs which they are known for. Everything was good. Service was friendly and timely. Would love to go back.

This place has wonderful warm, friendly family like service. The restaurant is spotless and the old warm charm oozes from its pores. Is it fancy or anything more than it pretends to be, no. Is it an old school seafood house near New Orleans, yes. I don't eat seafood, but the few other items they had were fantastic. And clearly the seafood they do serve is fresh off the boat because when you walk into this place, there isn't any fishy smell of any kind; I'm not quite sure how a seafood house can be so clean and the air so pure! The chicken parm was a delight. Definitely encourage anyone who isn't into seafood to enjoy it. The apps were large and inviting and tasty. All in all, this is a winner. It's clean, cheap, high quality and the family that runs it are just wonderful.

I almost didn't come here because of the reviews but I'm glad I did because my meal and service were bomb-diggity. I had crawfish. They had an advertisement in a local free paper and it said "our crawfish are huge" and they weren't lying. And they were cooked to perfection. It was hot but not too hot. And none of them were mushy but somehow the shells weren't too hard either. Then I ordered the duck fingers. This is fried duck that looks like chicken fingers. But they know how to cook duck and they weren't fatty, it comes with a honey-mustard sauce and it was good. I also got ranch. I think I'd prefer a teriyaki sauce but you know, I'm a crazy foodie. Anyway, I already want to go back. And the prices were fair.

My first trip to the Galley won't be my last! The service was excellent. The crab and spinach soup was amazing! Everyone at our table couldn't stop talking about it. The shrimp and grits, fried oysters, fried shrimp, friend catfish, and new potatoes were all highly rated. The macaroni and cheese was okay- a touch bland. Overall the prices and portions were reasonable and the food was tasty!
