"First, let me start by: I really wanted to like this place Unfortunately, as you can see in the picture: that didn’t work out. Our outing started out nice for my birthday brunch, but half way through my “chefs choice” omelette I was in for a rude awakening. I was pretty grossed out at what I found in my omelette dark hair) and even more so at the conflict resolution between my server Mary) and the Chef’s resolve. Firstly, we brought this up very calmly and kindly to our server and asked her if she could please take the plate away and she was apologetic and SUPER soft spoken). I asked her as a alternative to the situation if she could bring just a new side of pulled pork and avocado sauce the filling of the “chefs choice” omelette). I was extremely shocked and even more grossed out) when she came back and said “chef inspected for more hairs and said it was clear and replated it for you”. I was really confused as to why they would replate the same omelette I was grossed out by and found the hair in and try to pass it off as okay. I was simply asking for a “new side of the pulled pork” I don’t know where that got lost in translation When I asked our server Mary) for the check, my girlfriend noticed she charged us for a pulled pork sandwich $16) when we ordered a $22 chef choice omelette. We brought it up to her and she mentioned she wrote a sandwich when she first took the order. Very confusing and seems avoidant on behalf the management here. I figured a manager or even the chef would have tried to come out and resolve or at least be apologetic about the unwanted hair in my food. Sucks that this was my birthday brunch experience. Unfortunately, we won’t be coming back next time."

"UPDATE 3 days later: I just noticed someone left a positive review the same day I left my review and the owner responded the same day to that person as well as responding the same day to previous ones before that but didn't respond to mine lol. I guess from the reviews I read, the owners only respond to positive reviews and a few of negative ones where they blame the customer, take no accountability, and have sarcastic comments for their valued customer like Cindy, who complained she got sick from the seafood. Never once did Cindy say it was food poisoning and never once did owner apologize for her experience. Being that I actually work at an urgent care, I know there are plenty of reasons why Cindy could have been given an injection related to nausea and pain NOT allergies. So before you copy and paste a Google definition of food allergy or food poisoning, do some extensive research on the topic at hand or just apologize for the experience and keep it moving. I just love supporting small businesses for years like Pizza Artista, where i tip EVERYTIME, just to be intentionally ignored by the owner, the one time I ACTUALLY report a negative experience i had. NEVER AGAIN!!!! NO PHONY RESPONSE NEEDED! LESSON LEARNED! Be careful and mindful of what small businesses you support! ORIGINAL MESSAGE Normally I have nothing but good things to say about this place but unfortunately I didn't have a good experience Friday. I ordered the swamp daddy pizza shrimp, crab, crawfish, tasso, and sausage) which is my favorite. I've been ordering since it was originally priced at $14.99 and have continued to order it even as it's price has increased because it's usually worth it. When I got my pizza there were literally 7 crawfish total on the entire pizza, one crawfish per slice and one slice was lucky to get 2 crawfish as if they were strategically placed that way. I usually order in person and from watching how they measure topping with measuring cup, I could tell this wasn't the case. It looked like the person who made the pizza personally counted each crawfish that was on the pizza. Considering the fact that this particular pizza has gone up in price a couple of times, at the very least I expect to get what I paid for. There was barely any sauce on the pizza which made it very dry. There was absolutely nothing flavorful about the pizza except for the balsamic drizzle that I added. Pizza tasted like the cardboard box it came in. I couldn't believe how bland and dry the pizza was. I forced myself to eat two slices because I was hungry at work and couldn't leave to bring it back. The swamp daddy pizza is my favorite because it usually has a seafood boil taste. I'm not a pizza person but this is the only place I will order pizza from due to thier varieties. Not sure what happened this time but I was very disappointed. :"
