Wow, this Cajun seafood restaurant never disappoints! Always tasty and the service is so friendly. Love coming here for a bite before headed back to town. Worth the drive every time

We were in town from Dallas area and were recommended Babins. We are so glad we took that recommendation! Wow!!! Best food we’ve had in a LONG time! Husband had stuffed catfish, I had chicken and sausage gumbo, and of course beignets. Kory took amazing care of us and we are in town for one more night and decided to go back again tonight! If you’re deciding where to go to eat, give Babins a try and ask for Kory! Best service and food we’ve had in a long time!

We loved the ambience and had great service thanks to our waiter, Cooper. To start we had the boiled shrimp and they were great. For dinner, my wife had crawfish etouffee, I had red fish and our kids had fried shrimp with fries. The portions were good, and the food was fantastic. We typically do not do dessert, but I saw a pictures of the beignets and they did not disappoint. I cannot believe I have never been to this restaurant! We will definitely be back (Mostly for the beignets)

This is my 2nd visit. Both experiences have super exceeded my expectations, The food is beyond stellar, imo. This comes from a harsh food critic, being a chef in my own right. Our server was Brendon. He was charming & attentive. If you love bread pudding, PLEASE TRY THEIRS!! It knocked the socks off of me, lol!! I didn't think I'd find anything better than what I found in New Orleans, seriously. Another reviewer mentioned that it was too expensive. For 9 bucks, I promise you that it's more than reasonable. The serving is huge. At least 3 people can share it and be fully satisfied. Atmosphere is cozy & inviting, with a touch of NOLA aesthetic. They have a fresh seafood case to choose from as well.

Absolutely incredible time here, I filled up on the oysters then ordered the Fried seafood platter. Everything was perfect, waiter was great and accommodated all of our requests to a tee. Espresso martinis were a 7.3/10 but I’m a harsh critic on those.
