Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal, this restaurant delivers a comforting, no-frills Cajun experience.

One of the best things about dining here is the incredible freshness of the ingredients. Everything is made with care, and you can taste the difference in each dish. The shrimp, for example, is always perfectly seasoned and cooked just right - tender and juicy, with that signature Cajun kick.

My husband and I visit Boyd's at least one a week for the catfish nugget basket. The service is great, always greeted with a smile, and fish is hot and seasoned. The price is affordable and plentiful.
Food was fantastic. Had the boudain balls, shrimp, crab balls and hush puppies. Definitely com I need back. Can't get any fresher than that and the flavor tells.
Was starving when we got out the water so happy this place was right outside the Dike. Loved everything from the fried fish to the shrimp poboy and cheeseburger. The prices were amazing for today's economy too so thankful for that and the friendly service and smiling faces! Thank yall Floyd's we will be back!
Food is fresh and portions are generous. I had the fried shrimp po boy , shrimp fried to perfection tartar sauce was delicious and home made. Hubby had the Cajun burger which did not disappoint either. Service was friendly and served with a smile!
I was looking forward to trying this place and was not disappointed. The fish was fresh and hot, although it wasn't too seasoned for me. But the tartar sauce helped add flavor. The fries were seasoned ,hot and very crispy but not overcooked which I appreciate.
