We have lived in the area for about 3 years and I have always been curious about this place, so we decided to check it out. We went on a Saturday evening and weren't exactly sure where to sit when we arrived. We figured out that it was a "seat yourself" kind of place and waited about 15 minutes for the server to come over. She was very friendly and apologetic, but clearly overwhelmed by a half full dining area and more people out back. She seemed to be the only front of house person they had working at the moment. Anyway, she brought some menus and I decided on the special, which was the captain's platter. Something about pan-seared grouper, fried shrimp, oysters, onion rings and green tomatoes sounded good, but wasn't executed quite how I imagined. They advertised it with a remoulade sauce, which was kind of just plopped around the plate. Also, their version of pan-seared and mine must be different, since their grouper was absolutely breaded and pan-fried. It was too much "blah" and not the "wow" I had hoped for. The platter was reminiscent of a greasy basket from a run of the mill seafood chain. It was advertised to come with salad and bread, neither of which I received. I was told that they're "probably out of salad". Oh well. My other half had the double decker BLT and they used the "ready made" bacon from a box. What's the point of offering a BLT if you don't even use fresh bacon? All in all, the place probably has potential but I wouldn't waste $24.95 on a special again or come back for dinner. I would probably entertain trying them at lunch time eventually, since the waitress was so friendly.

One of my favorite places to go for lunch. I usually get 1/2 shrimp po-boy and a cup of red beans and rice. The bread on the po-boy is sooo good, topped with delicious fried shrimp, slaw, and remoulade sauce. The red beans and rice is warm and filling, with chunks of sausage in it. My only complaint about Blue Moon is that when you order soda you get exactly one can of soda. I drink a lot while I eat, so now I make a point to get tea when we go there.

Went with a party of 6 and was seated immediately. Someone in our party has been before and swore how good the food was, but with a quick glance at my phone and the reviews on Yelp, I was pretty pessimistic about what I was going to find here. I ordered the Catfish BLT PoBoy, and wow, was it good! I didn't dissect the contents as another reviewer did to try each element individually, but as a whole, I really enjoyed this sandwich. As a matter of fact, I have catfish in the freezer now that I bought JUST to mimic this sandwich at home! The rest of the table really enjoyed their meals. Many had the soup / sandwich combos and they raved about what they had. My Father-in-law still talks about how the soup was some of the best he ever had. Where they lost a star was their service. They did have 4 other tables sat at the time, but once the order was placed, it was hard to find our server to get refills or even the check. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying when you have to get up and walk to find them. When in Dothan, I will make it a point to come back here.

Had the catfish po boy today and it was amazingly great. The fish was tender and crispy, not greasy or heavy. The atmosphere is funky, very NOLA. The sweet tea was as it should be. Only thing preventing me giving five stars is the beignets had an odd taste like like were fried in the grease as the fish. Will definitely recommend and return.

Food is good but don't waste your time. Took 1 hour to get SOUP and the check!! And then, the waitress was so rude that she had the audacity to talk crap about my husband and me to another table next to us, simply because we asked for the check. Regardless of how busy a restaurant is, performing the basic duties of a server upon request should not invoke such bad attitude and poor class. We are from out of town and now have possibly the worst impression of what may otherwise seem a great town. Being a military family, we have dined at hundreds of establishments all over the country and never have we been treated with such disrespect.

The she crab soup and shrimp étouffée was great, but I am currently sitting here while the waitress talks trash to another table about us after we waited for 30 minutes on soup. Thirty minutes on soup.... And you're mad at me. After we waited for 15 minutes for a menu. I tried very nicely to ask the waitress how much longer since its been a long day of work and I was tired to which I got an awesome look from her and no response. Your attitude is garbage, so much for southern hospitality. I would rather drive an hour to PCB for she crab soup that isn't as good and not deal with a poor disposition. The way you acted towards my wife was ridiculous. Kudos to the chef. He or she should be cooking at a different establishment. Your talents are being wasted when the presentation is being destroyed by your servers.

Who knew this little hole in the wall would house a generous slice of New Orleans flavor? The intimate setting was complete with a bayou mural and kitsch covered walls, and the kind of porch lights that make you feel like you're at a craw dad broil on someone's back porch. I had the special, a creamy seafood dish with just the right amount of heat topped on a generous portion of angel hair spaghetti. I was in hog heaven!! My dining companions were equally pleased with their choices, including a whopping bowl of jambalaya and an oyster poboy, all at a very reasonable price. If you want to take a quick trip to New Orleans, I recommend this culinary journey tucked away in Dothan, Alabama!

Blue Moon was on my list of places to try so we decided to go last night. It is a Cajun/creole restaurant on South Foster. When we walked in, I immediately loved the atmosphere. I have been to New Orleans several times and this little place definitely took me back. There was a gentleman playing the guitar and singing in the corner (Jimmy Buffet, Eagles, etc.) and he was actually not bad for a little whole in wall. I ordered the Fried Oyster Po' boy and my boyfriend ordered the jambalaya. My sandwich was delicious and the portion was huge. My boyfriend's jambalaya was nothing like the menu described. It was a bowl of overcooked rice with a tiny piece of chicken. We have never sent anything back, but we sent this back. The waitress was very sweet and apologetic and offered to bring something else, but we decided to split my sandwich instead. I would definitely recommend you try this little restaurant because my sandwich was great and I loved the atmosphere. From other reviews, there are some really good things on the menu. Just don't order the "jambalaya".

Get the house grits!!! I am not a fan of grits but it had to be one of the best things I have ever tasted. I also had the Parmesan Crusted Grouper and it was excellent also. They do have their liquor license now, but they are still working on getting a good set up. Great atmosphere! The staff is very helpful and courteous. It is probably the best food I have had in the Wiregrass area.

Finally made it in for lunch today. We each had the lunch half - half a sammich and (large) cup of soup for $7.95 each. I had the fried oyster Po Boy, which was messy but great. I am a fan of sloppy, soupy, swimmy Po Boys versus the crusty-crunchy versions so this was spot on for me. The oysters are topped with BBQ sauce and a blue cheese coleslaw and the bread wasn't too crusty. My soup was the crawfish & corn chowder and it was very tasty. Hubby had the fried catfish BLT Po Boy and his was moderately sloppy (thanks to the Creole mustard and the tomato); I got the very last bite and while it was good, mine was better. His soup was she crab soup and she was good but could have been a bit crabbier. The restaurant was nearly full when we left so you might want to arrive early for your lunch especially if you are pressed for time.

Went here after members of our group of five had heard recommendations about how good it was, for us, it wasn't. Went when they first opened at lunch, they weren't ready for customers. Waited ten minutes to have our drink order taken. Multiple items we ordered we were told they were out of. Got our food (all lunch items like a salad, two cups of soup and a half sandwich) after 25 minutes. Mandarine oranges in the salad were rancid and had to ask for one drink to be replaced due to dirty glass. Will not go again. Expensive for what we got and not worth the wait.

This is a great local hole in the wall. I had the shrimp remoulade, half a buffalo shrimp po boy, and fried green beans. Everything was great. they don't serve beer in house, but you can go to the bar next door for one and bring it back. I would definitely come back and try the fried green tomato po boy, or the fried egg plant BLT. We were there late, and the chef came out after our meal and asked us how we liked our meals and thanked us for coming. I loved the decor, especially the hand written sayings on the wall, such as "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a case of beer."

The ambiance is really neat at this place. It looks like a dive bar, but that's part of the theme of the restaurant. I love the bayou wall mural, the kitschy decor, and cajun music. The food isn't great, but still pretty darn good especially for the price. My friend ordered the half soup half po'boy sandwich. His soup was the crawfish and corn chowder, and the catfish BLT po'boy. The catfish by itself was a bit bland, but with the sandwich as whole, very good. I had the cajun chicken pasta which is their spin on chicken alfredo. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was; creamy, flavorful, and packs a spicy kick. I'll most likely order it again next time. We'd been here twice already. The first time I ordered a muffaletta which was just OK, but I think its because it was so olive-y. I like olives as an accompaniment than as the main event. As for the service, our server was nice and friendly, though I was on the fence between a couple items and wish she'd have given me more guidance. They're only open for lunch 11am-2pm, but also open for dinner Friday nights with wider selections. All in all, I really enjoyed Blue Moon and will be back again.

The menu was very short for a Cajun joint. I had cup of gumbo, and the bayou burger. The burger tasted like a breakfast sausage patty, but it wasn't that bad. The gumbo was a little overpowering, but I would eat it again. The atmosphere was very chill with a guy playing his guitar in the corner. It would be a great place to get together for drinks with friends, definitely not a place to bring children.

First I'll start with the positive: interesting decor, friendly server, menu that is different from most places. What is not too good at the Blue Moon Cafe is, unfortunately, the food. My husband is from Louisiana and makes gumbo and etoufee that is awesome so maybe I am spoiled. We ordered the lunch combo where you can get half a po' boy and a cup of soup. We both ordered the shrimp po' boy. My husband got the shrimp etoufee and I had the chicken and sausage gumbo. We enjoyed the po' boys. They are different than any I've had before because they have cabbage instead of lettuce. I wasn't expecting to like that when I saw it, but it was a tasty surprise. However, the gumbo was a disappointment. Now I am all for heat when it comes with flavor, but just heat for the sake of heat is not good. The gumbo was so spicy but other than that, there was no flavor. I don't think the roux was seasoned at all. It was too thick for my liking, and the celery in the gumbo was crunchy. My husband ordered the shrimp etoufee. I had a bite of that, and that too was bland. The shrimp were overcooked and the vegetables were crunchy. I so wanted to like this place- we both did. We had just gotten back from Louisiana the day before when we discovered the Blue Moon Cafe and we thought we had found something special. It looks like we will continue our search to find some good authentic Louisiana cuisine from a restaurant. Until then, we'll be eating at home.

Blue Moon is one of the only places I have been here that actually has personality and a unique identity and atmosphere. For that, I really enjoyed the place. Our server was sweet, attentive, and accommodating. I dig that you can byob or get your booze from the place next door. I was tipped off that this lunch restaurant does dinner on Friday nights and thought it would be a good night out. The place is Creole/Cajun - reflected in the menu and décor - and unfortunately the HEAT. It was uncomfortably hot in the place so we chose to eat on the back patio (which is shared with the bar next door). The food didn't quite live up to expectations - we had crawfish& crab fettuccini and Cajun chicken pasta. The recipes were a little bland (not so spicy) and a little boring. BUT well prepared, visually appealing and even though the meal fell short -it was still one of the top three dining experiences I've had in the wiregrass.
