I’ve stopped in to grab a shrimp po’ boy or roast beef sandwich (both excellent), but tonight I had the weekend special: crawfish étouffée with fried catfish. It did not disappoint!!! Great local craft brews on tap as well. Gattuso’s has a great kitchen, awesome staff, and the beer is cold.

One of the best happy hours around. Awesome Brussels sprouts and mozzarella sticks. Burger night is incredible. Decent number of beers on draught. Servers are fast and friendly. We love this spot for a weeknight happy hour.
