Best WLM Reviews
Darnesia was amazing! Food was delicious and flavorful. Red beans and rice were my favorite thing. Such a beautiful and fun space. Staff was so cool and joyful. Can’t wait to come here again.
This was our first time here. We had a half dozen oysters on the half shell for our appetizer and it was delicious. My husband had the fried catfish with coleslaw and fries, and I had the daily special. It was red snapper with collard greens and broccoli. My fish was good but a tad too salty for me.
Not sure if I gave a review but the food was great. I was there some months ago. Probably last November or December. Great indoor decoration as well.
Let me say, we are not really seafood people. So our review may have bias because of this. The staff are friendly & attentive. Could have refilled drinks a little more often but service became fairly busy. The food was ok. The shrimp was a bit small for grits & lacked some flavor. The fries were slightly undercooked. You can tell shrimp was frozen, not fresh. But not a terrible experience. The fried tomatoes were pretty decent with lemon & crawfish sauce.
Ordered shrimp and scallops, scallops were a little chewy. Our server was very nice and she did check on us , refills on drinks was slower than normal. One of our friends got the bacon wrapped shrimp and he really enjoyed it.
Oysters 6 different ways were delicious! Gumbo was amazing. The shrimp were so good!
We went during the lunch hour on a Thursday, and it wasn't crowded as it usually is (school just started). So I was grateful. Let me just say those fish tacos will have me going back for the next round. I wish they gave me more than two. I would've eaten four of them (lol). This plate usually comes with fries, but I didn't have a taste for fries that day even though the fries looked thick and delicious. The fried okra could've been fried harder, but that's a personal preference. I know some people prefer otherwise. And the red beans and rice were mmm mmm good. I kept dipping my tacos in the dip that came with the onion rings. OMG the onion rings and the fried green tomatoes were a HIT also. The tomatoes had a crawfish dip that was delicious, and I don't eat crawfish at all. Sorry I didn't get pics of the tomatoes cause I was starving when they came out - not because they took so long - they were really quick about bringing our food and no it didnt taste pre-cooked at all - I just hadn't eaten all that morning. But my goodness everything was hot and fresh (in the words of Dora's backpack) "mmm delicioso!!!! 12/10 (wouldve been higher for the okra and two additional tacos (lol)!
SHUT IT DOWN! I came here once before and the food was amazing...this time? TERRIBLE! My gumbo was cold and slimy. I know it has okra in it...but is that all? And to think they said its award winning. Oscar the Grouch had to be the judge of that competition. My salad had molded tomatoes. My daughter's chicken tenders were more like chicken jerky dipped in flour and fried. My cousins shrimp were fried hard and rubbery. The hush puppies were small wrecking balls. We were afraid to eat them because we didnt want to chip a tooth or break our teeth. The service was super slow. We were not the only ones complaining...everyone complained. SHUT IT DOWN AND TRY AGAIN.
