Found this little gem on Google Maps searching for Fish River Grill. I’m so glad it landed us here. This little locals favorite packs a big flavor punch. If you are looking for a good seafood restaurant, this is it. No frills; just classic Cajun cooking. They also offer jambalaya, red beans and rice, etc. We had the fried shrimp po’ boys with comeback sauce, crab cakes, seafood gumbo, and coleslaw topped off with the best white chocolate bread pudding. It was all delicious!
