Saturday evening we went to Ob's for an early mother's day supper. It was 4 adults and two children. We ordered their snow crab and shrimp combo, which also came with 2lbs of crawfish free. We also ordered pickles and peppers, a chicken basket, and classic cheeseburger.My kids loved the chicken basket and the cheeseburger.Our platters of shrimp and crab were AMAZING.My sister ordered the ultimate platter and she said everything was so good, I tried her mushrooms and they were great.The beer was cold the rum punch was strong.The food was AMAZING. Just enough seasoning to make your lips tingle.The service was great too.

Great burgers but too much bun.. overpowers the burger. Good portions, great atmosphere and staff is quick.

They have really good crawfish and shrimp! Spicy but amazing! I’m from Texas and this is the best I have had. The bartenders and locals are great as well. Great place to visit! I will be back next time I’m in town!

SATURDAY All you can eat snow crabs!!! Just go!! You never even have to get up from the table because they bring them to you. Seasoned and boiled to perfection. No, they aren't rubbery because they've been sitting on a warning tray under hot lamps.

Great to have live music! Crawfish was spiced properly with a good kick. Loved the sausage and mushrooms. Definitely recommend the pickles and peppers with a cocktail if it’s not boiling time. This is a bar bar with a solid food game and not a fast food establishment. Definitely a local hangout and worth stopping in to pass the time with friends.
