👋🏼Ok guys listen up...

We are officially closed for the year with the exception of us doing some unplanned, impromptu pop up cook events. We tried to hold off until June but with people ready for vacations and trips with families (both customers and employees) we feel like we need to shut down here for the year. We will be helping focus on our sister restaurant opening in Pocahontas and see to it it gets off the ground and running.

I did not have a chance to get oysters, make red beans and rice, jambalaya and even crawfish Mac n cheese. But my plan is to do some pop up events where I open with a lighter menu with options of the above mentioned. So there is a chance a couple times you may get some spicy crab legs or bayou bowl shrimp during off season!!!!

But as far as fresh live crawfish or cooked crawfish we won't be doing those. I urge you to reach out to people we are friends with and do business with and give them a try or drive over and check out our new place on Black River in Pocahontas. I know Cajun Bucks in Osceola AR, Delta Crawfish in paragould and jonesboro and ARKLA seafood in Saffell Ar will all be selling crawfish.

In the meantime we have more plans to make our own place a better experience for 2027. Including a wall of fame and a wall of not so much fame!! Some dedication spaces for special customers we have had ect....

We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this little tin can building so special. Also thanks to my staff who run this place more often than not when im doing other things but mainly getting to play dad.

Now if you have been over revving your engine at us pull over and let it cool off. Life shouldn't be that serious. 😉😇

Love you all!!✌🏻

For you guys that like to follow what its like dealing with crazy people here is the next episode.....she is big mad and has been for years. Lol.

Let me explain. One or two times way back in covid days I must have let her pre order and pick up her reallllly big order of 2 POUNDS of crawfish. Because back then we were not dine in for a while. Well fast forward a few years and she still cannot fathom that I do not let people reserve crawfish later on saturday. I have gave her all the reasons. 1) its hard to hold crawfish with a estimated eye of "oh there is 7 pounds left plus Carol's 2 pounds in that cooler"... staying warm for oh maybe 4 hours if its the last batch we have and 2) how smart of a business person am I to reserve crawfish for people to take to go when I have people that drive over a hour alot to DINE IN. 3) then what happens if said person (or Carol in this instance) runs late or dont show at all. How in the heck do I keep her crawfish hot and fresh for HOURS... Maybe... just maybe.. I know what im doing and she dont realize that I won't change my way of doing business to fit her crazy self. Anyhow I figured its been a month or so since the last time and wanted to share another t shirt idea with yal... whats some ideas we can use for this one?....🙃🙃🙃
