I’m from Michigan and I always try to find good shrimp and grits when I’m down south. This is a great tucked away place with awesome shrimp and grits. Michael was great taking care of me. Atmosphere was causal but great. Nice bar and outdoor seating. I will be back! Donny D.
This has become one of our favorite seafood spots in the Southeast. It’s downtown Grenville with a great view of the city street action. The vibe and atmosphere would rival any restaurant but the low country brick aesthetics will blow you away. As for food, oh my goodness- what a surprise! For starters, they allow guest to taste the gumbo sampler- Nice touch. We had grilled oysters, the fried seafood platter with shrimp, oysters and flounder- outstanding!!! The drink list was excellent and the prices were reasonable. We also had their beignets; not New Orleans but tasty. This place is a serious “must try” if you’re in Greenville and have a taste for good seafood.
The server was very helpful in listening to my gluten-free needs. He made my day when he said that everything was fried in a gluten-free batter. I was so excited ! I have not eaten fried catfish or any seafood since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. The gluten-free batter was so crispy on the catfish; the catfish was flaky and tasted like it had been caught that day from a local stream and fried up fresh for lunch! I ordered the hand cut sweet potato fries, a true southern side dish to eat alongside seafood. I can't wait to return to my new favorite gluten-free seafood spot, which I believe is the best GF Seafood Restaurant in Greenville!
Good was hot, great, and it tasted great! Maque Choux with redfish and one with shrimp AND the chicken PoBoy was truly delicious. Catfish bites were OK. Beignets were delicious as well.
Food was delicious. Customer service was great, Waitress was well versed with the menu, quick and efficient. Location great for date night
WOWZERS!!!!! I gave the waitress 4 choices to surprise me with for my entree. She surprised me with the salmon over rice and vegetables. Oh My!!! Simply delicious!! My wife got the catfish Poboy with fries, it was excellent as well. Will definitely be back, there are many things I want to try. It's been a while since I've found an actual Cajun restaurant in our area. We ordered Beignets to go, not a good idea if your going to eat them before u get home. Lol. So good!!! Restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. Food was tasty, portions were generous and the price is great!
We saw a coupon in the Palmetto Trend magazine for the Lost Cajun restaurant on Pelham road, and decided to give it a try - we were so glad we did. The food was excellent, along with great service from Michael, who gave us a complementary 'sampler flight' to assist with our selection. My wife selected the lobster bisque for her dinner and I selected the shrimp Alfredo pasta. Both dinners were outstanding. We told Michael we would definitely be back.
The food here was great! I had been looking for gator bites for a long time and they had some. Everything was delicious! I will be going back soon!
