Mud Bugs: Reviews & Ratings
1010!! Chef Chris and his wife are the real deal. I am always down for some Cajun food but they do it right. So much flavor you cant go wrong with anything you get off the menu honestly. I do love me a Po boy and their coleslaw is AMAZING! Fresh and delish every single time.
Fantastic Cajun food with large portions. Every time I eat here I leave stuffed. Literally cant go wrong with anything you order. The fried okra is delicious with the perfect salty flavor breading. This afternoon I had the breaded baja with jambalaya and fried okra. 100 recommended eating here if you like Cajun food.

This young gentleman provided the most excellent service Ive ever experienced. I was offered a sample of every soup and immediately fell in love. His knowledge of the ingredients and expertise on fine Creole dining was superb. We will certainly be back for more delicious southern cuisine by our man Nick!
This place is top notch! Delicious Authentic Cajun food AND awesome hospitality! Ive had several different PoBoys and still cant say which is my favorite. Had the Gumbo and Jambalaya. Both are very good but I recommend the Jambalaya!
