This rustic restaurant in Washington is easy to pass up, but we promise you it’s worth the extra effort to seek out.

The warehouse was completed in 1823 and, although the last steamboat left Washington in 1900, the building was still put to good use.

You'll feel the history of the building from the moment you walk inside.

During sunset, it’s even more magical.

Come hungry, because you’ll want to order one of everything on the menu.

From chicken and sausage gumbo to crawfish enchiladas, their menu covers everything from the classics to specialty spins on Cajun favorites.

Catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed shrimp, and stuffed crab make up this delicious seafood pile pictured above.

Grilled redfish, chicken dishes, and for the steak lovers, their ribeye's will make your tastebuds explode.

They open at 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday for dinner and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.
