Never a bad experience nor an entree I have not enjoyed in years. Unique ( where else can you get blackened alligator in Cincinnati?) menu and great food . My favorite is chicken and sausage jambalaya and frozen margaritas with splash of cranberry. Love this place - have been coming here since Allyn originally opened the place with only the bar side and a space in the back with an ice machine and a gravel floor. Read less
