I have been coming here for awhile, and truth be told, the quality is getting worse.
1st tip: DO NOT EVEN BOTHER with the fried oysters. You will hate yourself for ordering that. The oysters are so tiny, and it's not worth the money. Actually put the gator bites on the do-not-order list as well. They're smaller than the popcorn chicken you get at KFC.
I normally come here and order the gumbo or she crab soup and make that a meal. A bowl runs you about $8-9, which is a lot more tolerable. Sometimes the gumbo comes out luke warm (at best), but it tastes good enough.
If anything, consider this place for a drink, they do have drink specials on the hurricanes and wine and beer.
I really hate that one of the few cajun places in Charlotte is going downhill.
