We were traveling from Texas and I was craving boiled shrimp and luckily Chookies was near by. I was not disappointed. The shrimp was great and hit the spot. It was exactly what I wanted. The service was great. The staff are very friendly.

Creative selection on their menu. The Gumbo is great, but the Shrimp & Corn Bisque is even better.

The food was amazing. My husband and I took our girls there. It was my oldest birthday. We ordered the shrimp basket, trio basket, pistolette trio, and crab cakes I added pasta to my dish.

It’s a great place to eat. Fresh Hot and flavorful that we Cajuns demand. Our server was fabulous; her timing on checking on our drinks, our food, etc was frequent, yet without constant interruptions. As I enjoy giving ratings and strive for honest and fair opinions I probably pay more attention to the staff than most guest. I saw that even when a table or two away, she would glance at our table to size up our drinks before heading to the kitchen. Two or more times she showed up with fresh drinks before we needed to ask. The food is a cross between home made and having the added pop of a chef to kick it up a notch. It did take a bit longer than I expected. And was not indicative of previous visits. But well worth the wait as we enjoyed the conversations with our guests. The atmosphere is indicative of a hometown restaurant. Not overly fancy, but not overly bland. If not for the other tables and noise from the other guests, it is similar to sitting at my home table. But not so noisy you can’t hear your own guests. Conversation was easy, even though I had not brought my hearing aids. Overall it has become a favorite, especially for seafood PoBoy’s or plates.
