For lunch, you can either dine in, where they serve the seafood to you in plastic trays like at your favorite crawfish boil, or you can take the food to go and head to nearby Bayou St. John and eat on the banks.

The church vibe follows throughout the building and experience, with drinks flowing out of vessels that look like they come straight from Mass.
