So glad we found this place. It took us all the way back to New Orleans from the very first bite. Please please please don?t... change a thing. Everything was delicious and the staff were great. The mac n cheese, red beans and rice, yams, cornbreadmuffins, fried chicken and everything else were superb ????????????and came in large portions. Definitely will be returning andDefinitely NOT a run-of-the-mill, ordinary, boring place to eat. The food made all the difference Read more

Exceptional food with excellent service. This place is family owned and you can taste the love in every bite. You won?t be... disappointed Read more

Our first time trying this spot. Service was very slow, and after sitting for about 30 minutes after we placed our order the... waitress informed us of one of the orders needing to be changed because of being out of the fish requested. The potato salad wasgood and the fried shrimp and fish were crisp. The wings were a good appetizer as well. This is a small establishment so I?m notreally going to knock the service since they were very busy with large tables to attend to. My husband and I are wanting to trythe gumbo at this location which will be the true test as to whether we come back! (Additional review TBD). Management is veryfriendly and the atmosphere is very family friendly for the little ones. Read more

My first and truly 5 Star Joint.. Can you say fabulous. Authentic southern cooking. The taste you will never forget. The Catfish... was tender, full of pleasant spices, not to hot or over powering, PERFECT. The sweet potatoes, reminded me of my mother'scooking, sweet, tangy honeylicious. The Mac & Cheese, made with real quality cheese. Again memories of back home cooking. IHighly recommend Sharon's Creole Kitchen. The menu is plentiful and I can't wait to return many times to try every dish. Read more

My partner and I went here for the first time a few months back and loved it, the food was so good tasting it brought back... memories of our trip to New Orleans. I ranted and raved to my family on how good it was and talked it up. By the time I took myfamily here and when they first put our plates down I saw the food and already knew it wasn't like the first time wewent. After tasting the food I already knew my mom didn't like it, the fish filets were like nuggets and had texture of whitemeat, the oysters were really gummy and watery, the shrimp and everything else was overcooked, the corn bread was dry. The onlything that tasted the same as my first experience was the sides, they have amazing tasting mac n cheese and greens. I don'tknow if the owner or manager wasn't there this time but food should be consistent everything especially if we are paying $25 to$30 a plate. We were very disappointed and not sure if we'll be back which is sad because our first experience was amazing. Read more

This was our first time coming here, and we weren't really sure what to expect. It's all too easy to get your hopes up and then... be disappointed if the food isn't as good as you had imagined. We ordered Zoe's hot chicken sammie, a catfish plate with hushpuppies and maque choux fried corn, and a pineapple cream soda. Having never tried or even heard of pineapple cream soda, weweren't sure what to expect. Especially since we aren't big soda drinkers. It was so good! Sweet, but not too sweet; veryrefreshing. The chicken sandwich came out first, and boy did it look like it was gonna be a delicious mess. While waiting forthe catfish to come out we sampled the wedges. Pillow-y soft insides and a delightful crisp outside. We were already hypingourselves up! I was still a bit nervous though, because you can have great wedges and the rest of the food just be "soso". Just a minute later and the catfish arrived. It was quite impressive looking, honestly. Other places where I've gottencatfish, it's just been a dinky, thin filet with all the flavor in the seasoning. Before we got into the main portion though,we decided to sample the corn and the hush puppies. Wow! The corn was so flavorful and the green pepper was perfectly tender.Hush puppies? Excellent! Loved the flavor and the texture was on point. After that, we dove into the catfish. My partner is nota fish person. At all. I took the first bite and let me tell you -- I was not disappointed in the least. The texture, theflavor, everything... love at first bite! Again, my partner does not really care for fish, so she reluctantly tried a bite aswell. Then a second one! I think she was hooked. Next we tried her sandwich. It was exactly the mess we knew it would be. Andit was amazing! Just the right amount of heat and juicy, tender chicken. The zesty sauce was great on the fries, too. After wefinished our food, we had to try the beignets so we put in an order for those. It took some time for them to come ou Read more
