"My husband and I went for V Day and had an amazing experience!!! The food was delicious and the ambiance was romantic!! Gotta try the lump crab fried green tomatoes!!! Wow!!! Can’t wait to try more menu items!!!"
"Was walking by and noticed fried green tomatoes on the menu and had to stop in for a snack. I ended up ordering the fried green tomato appetizer with the lump crab on top... It was so delicious!! It came with a remoulade sauce that added that New Orleans flare... So good!! Rich had the crawfish Mac n cheese and order of the beignets. All this time I thought New Orleans had the best beignets but Ben Yay's are so amazingly delicious!! They're flaky and fluffy and just heaven in your mouth!! The atmosphere was great and the service was the best! Friendly people, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back."
"The gumbo was nothing but broth. The only meat in the entire thing was the end meat of the smaller portion of the claw of a lobster. A half a teaspoon of meat at the most The rest was just broth. $30? Never again."
"The staff was super friendly and I really enjoyed sitting outside on a pretty day. My fried green tomatoes were good but the crawfish corn chowder was way too salty to even eat. Not exaggerating, it was like putting a spoonful of salt in my mouth."
