The portion size of a cup of etoufee is small, considering the price. But overall, we were pleased with the food. The best item was the King Cake Bread Pudding.

So the food was mediocre at best! Pasta served cold, salad came out after the meal. The server brought out half the food while letting my friend wait for hers and then it was cold! Server treated me like a tourist but didn’t realize I train servers and maintain a restaurant. They only care about the locals.. bread pudding was decent but cold in the middle!! Meat pie and boudin was only thing worth paying for!!

3.5 stars. Quick late lunch. Boudain balls were great. Shrimp po’boys were underwhelming. Inflation definitely has impacted the portions and size of the shrimps. Fries were very good. Bread pudding was quite good. Service was consistent, friendly, and prompt.

My oh my was this place fantastic. We had a wonderful lunch. Chicken and sausage gumbo was very flavorful. I got a cup and wished I had gotten a bowl !!! Bbq shrimp and cheesy grits was delicious. Alfredo with shrimp was tasty. I added some spicy seasoning that was in the condiment tray because I thought it needed a tad more heat and flavor .Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

Way to expensive for what we got. I think it was called the meat trio $34.00. We got ribs, beef and chicken. Ribs were more bone than meat. Chicken and beef dry And if you’re on low carb. Don’t go for the green beans. They are sweet. Good, but very sweet. Ohhh and we were charged 5% to get it to go !! What in the world. Who does that? Maybe if we were told up front we would of had a choice to dine in or pay it and not fuss about it. Never again.

Stopped over for some gumbo and although they didn’t have seafood gumbo, they had chicken and sausage gumbo which was seaux good… however, I asked for 2 large gumbos to geaux and I got two small or medium gumbos. And 40 dollars was definitely Bidenenomics…but it was delicious .

I really want to like this restaurant. It is in a fantastic location for drawing in business from the University, LSMSA, and nearby business offices. I have lived in Natchitoches for a decade and I am always rooting for locally-owned businesses to thrive.

Food was very bland, it did not taste Cajun at all. Waiter forgot our order, had to take our order again 10 minutes after we placed it the first time.
