Winner Winner Catfish Dinner...and great Gumbo too!
by Knowlej at Citysearch
I don't know what the other reviewers had to eat, but I went in there on a quiet Thursday afternoon with my mother for lunch, and just to give you an idea of how good it is...at the end of my meal I asked for a doggy bag. The service is pretty fast, the entire place is CLEAN and the eating area is very modern - cool jazz music playing in the background was a plus. I am somewhat of an expert on Creole/Soul Food, because I was raised on it, and this is extremely close to the authentic stuff. Try the gumbo: 'nuff said. Smitty's Cajun Catfish plate (we tried it fried) was served piping hot (don't forget to ask for tartar sauce), the collard greens tasted like momma's (as it should be). I will note the mac and cheese needs a bit more cheese (personal preference only), but the flavors are dead on. I will definitely recommend this place to all of my friends. I'm definitely going back for more! They also cater...Superbowl party anyone?!
- Pros: Inviting Ambience, Partking in Rear, Attentive Service, Seat yourself
- Cons: Somewhat pricey...but you get what you pay for

Tried something new
by ibddisney at Citysearch
Hey we decided to try a new place for Creole food and the service was very good and the place was clean. But when we got our food which came at different times my Ribs were average but Her chicken was completely raw on the inside. We sent it back and on return instead of four pieces there were two over cooked chicks left. The catfish nuggets were fried skin with a little slime on the inside. Turns out my girlfriend filled up on french fries and diet coke. The rest of the food was ok.

I'm so happy I found Creo's. Their food is so delicious. I had the fried catfish, dirty rice, the baked beans and the collared greens all of them amazing and best of all not greasy or unhealthy. I especially was a fan of the dirty rice. Everyone is really nice and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, great soul music in the background to enjoy during lunch. Oh and not to forget the sweet potato pie...yummy. I pretty much loved everything about it and I am now hooked.
- Pros: Great food, ambiance, music, delivery
- Cons: none
