What customers say about us

Ron Slagel

Great gator po boy and soft shell crab platter. Onion rings were delicious and service was good and wait for food wasnt long even though they were busy at lunchtime when we came in. Glad we chose this place!

Carsten Baumann

This place is awesome. After the long drive drive from New Orleans to Grand Isle, we had worked up an appetite. The place was busy when we got there and continued that way, but service was attentive and friendly. They definitely earned the bragging rights to the onion rings mentioned on their sign and menu. The fried chicken was some of the best we've ever tasted. Just note that it is battered and fried to order and takes about 20 minutes, but well worth it. Also delicious were the gumbo and the Po boys and fried pickles. A must visit!

Anthony Brooks

Decided to try the Starfish restaurant for lunch today. It’s bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The staff was very friendly. We tried the onion rings which were really good. The crab cakes were pretty good but small and in the shape of balls. The burger was fresh made and delicious. The PoBoy style burger was massive and we took half of it home. Overall a great experience and the prices were very reasonable.

Rob McShannon

My wife and I just had a great breakfast at a fantastic price. A Spanish omelette Western omelette and two coffees came to just over $27. The omelets were packed with meats, cheese and veggies.

Harold Wright

Great food and prices are average for the area. Service was amazing and I love that they have tables outside. The wait was extended because they were short handed but TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF ME. I recommend them. I ordered the 1/2 and 1/2 with shrimp and oysters. I added onion rings instead of fries.
