    Loaded fries

    I was never into Cajun food too much, UNTIL I had this place! Every single entree here bursts with authentic flavors right out of Louisiana! My personal favorites are any pasta on the menu, especially creating my own with chives, crawfish and chicken! Recently, I tried the loaded baked potato and was BLOWN AWAY at how savory it was! The fried baskets are seasoned and breaded perfectly everytime as well! I 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Cajun and Creole food!

    $10 ettouffee

    For a Central Texas town, Waco has a wonderful selection of Cajun delight- Armstrong is in "fierce" (really quiet friendly) competition with Cajun Craft, just down the road (figuratively, they're about a 5 min drive apart). Armstrongs has a wide selection of Cajun Classics: Exquisite Etouffee, Generous Gumbo, and Boudain Balls worth the trip alone. They also have a variety of loaded Potato and/or Fries if that's more your style. Perfectly spiced but not too spicy (hotter can be requested) Seafood that's perfect pretty far from the sea- and pasta dishes that NEVER disappoint. The best part? It's pretty affordable too- etouffee is just 10 bucks, Gumbo is 13 bucks but the portion is pretty large I'd give it a 100/5 if I could- DO NOT MISS ARMSTRONGS!! Also worth mentioning that they have a location at the Union Grove in Hewitt of 84 if you don't feel like going to downtown Service is pretty quick too, so you can get in an out during lunch!

    Seafood potato was great. Shared it with my wife and we were both satisfied. It had shrimp and catfish and crawfish

    Service was slow and unorganized. My order was handed off to the wrong person and the issue was resolved poorly.

Neapolitan pizza is something like a culinary ancestor to New York pizza, which has more mozzarella cheese and a somewhat sweeter sauce. The Italian salads and entrees are also excellent. The Chef-Owner trained in Italy, and it shows. Service is friendly, competent and responsive. The ambiance is modern, although I think the seating and tabletops are fairly basic. All in all, the pizzas are the stars of the menu, and well worth it as an authentic taste of classic Neapolitan cuisine.

I was told no and I could order a cheaper version at $95 that probably wholesales at under $20. It was not good. The food took two glasses wine time to arrive, approx 40 min and when arrived, the chicken was severely under cooked. Sent back and said it would be fast. Was not we took it to go. Also, had an order to go of the vodka pasta and when's arrived home, it had 19 noodles and appeared to be someone's leftovers packed up. Our bill was not adjusted and only the waiter apologized. I won't be going back or recommending. Poor way to run business.

    Hubby & I had not been to Luigis for quite sometime. We went about 4:30, on Sat, 4/25/26, to avoid…read morethe crowds. No one was at the entry station & we waited about 5 minutes before a tall, non-smiling, barely audible woman "greeted us" & led us to a booth. There were only two other booths occupied, & it was nearing 5:00 pm, quite surprising, since we recalled a once upon a time, bustling crowd. The same woman took our drink order, nowadays, "water", to keep the cost of eating out less of a sticker shock. A young man brought slightly burned top bread to our table, my husband said it was OK but would have enjoyed it better without the blackened tops. I asked the waitress if it was garlic bread, she told it was, & I mentioned I can't eat garlic bread, so she offered to bring rolls without garlic. I told her she didn't need to do that, but later, she brought me two delicious, perfectly baked hot rolls, without garlic. The creature was very kind .. but, still no smile! We love Luigis pasta dishes, but felt like trying their pizza & ordered the Luigis salad, to split. The salad was huge, but mainly chopped lettuce, red cabbage slivers, with two tomato wedges. Not near as impressive as salads we get at TX Roadhouse & the Longhorn Steak House, but crispy & good. They offered very few dressings, but the red Italian was delicious & my spouse said the ranch dressing was good, too. Mid-way through the salad, as an after thought, the Italian music was turned on, adding a bit of ambiance to the dark, quiet dining area. We thought that was odd, not turning music on, just as one would turn on lights, etc, at a restaurant. Our Canadian bacon/pineapple pizza, from the moment it was placed on the table, was unimpressive. It was thin, & void of an abundance of ingredients. It was very greasy, so we blotted every slice, having to go to the nearby entry station, still unoccupied, to grab extra napkins, because the waitress rarely returned to our table. Only one other group had entered the restaurant & another waitress was tending to them, so she was not "busy". How anyone can take cheese + meats + pineapple, & end up with a tasteless pizza, is beyond understanding, but add tough dough to the mix & Luigi's managed to serve the worst pizza we have ever been eaten! We were hungry & ate what we could, taking remaining slices home, thinking I could add bell pepper to a left over slice, toast it & eat it for a Sunday afternoon snack. For $16.99, we hated to leave 1/2 of a medium pizza, even though it was inferior quality! Honestly, we have gotten better at Domino's, for a fraction of the cost. We left the restaurant & went for a Sat evening drive, passing the restaurant, on Hwy 84, about 6:15 p.m., noticing few vehicles on the Luigis parking lot. What has happened? Would recommend someone to cheerfully greet customers, smiling/friendly waitresses, a manager coming around tables to greet & chat with customers, making them feel "welcome" & an evaluation of food quality! We hate to see a really good restaurant on the slippery slope of decline!
