Additional locations include Bankstown RSL Club in New South Wales, Woden in Canberra (opened March 2022), and Penrith on Mulgoa Road (opened December 2022), which replaced a former Hooters site. The chain engages in community activities, such as supporting breast cancer awareness and environmental programs, and has partnered with organizations like Little Wings and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it provided meals to frontline workers and supported local charities.[1][2][3][4][5]

It serves Cajun-style seafood boils, with food placed directly on the table without plates.

Customers use gloves and bibs provided by the restaurant..[1][2][3]
