    Southern Fried Chicken
    Darriane J.

    I wanted to try something different for lunch so I stopped in! It has a family diner feel to it! I waited to be seated which took a few minutes. The waitress was super sweet! I ordered the Southern fried chicken which my waitress let me know would take 20 minutes. It was ok. The red beans & macaroni were good. I had a taste of my mom's Deep South Gold & it was delicious! The prices are great. I would stop back in!

    As always, wonderful white beans and  panéed pork chop! Delicious!

    Okay, Bonnie C's is not a 5star restaurant in the classic way, but as a native New Orleanian this restaurant takes me back to the restaurants of New Orleans before the chains and glamour food became standard. The food is always delicious and servings large. Foods that the old restaurants offered, like white beans and panéed pork chops, stuffed bell peppers,, etc. are standards, as are seafood and poboys. If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy good food, try Bonnie C's.

    Gumbo (partially eaten, LOL)

    The Gumbo was PERFECTION! Dark Brown Roux, plenty of crawfish, seasoned so well! Catfish Dinner was delicious too! Fresh tasting with nice crispy coating. Great service!

    Dry yams

    The server was nice & friendly, the food was just alright. The yams were dry‍ We had the seafood platter, but the oysters was tiny. There was a kitchen worker that was filthy and kept coming in the dining area...not while we are eating dude The place was clean, but i don't think we will be back...sorry

    Wednesday Night All You Can Eat Catfish w Greens
    Stephanie R.

    I've passed this place a million times on my travels through Slidell and have always wanted to stop. The "C" in the business name is actually "Copeland" by the way, as in, the Louisiana Family that is known for their Southern-style cooking. Being on Keto, and Fasting (16:8) all during the day; that morning when I drove past, their billboard said, "Steak Nite", and it was decided. So on a cold and rainy Wednesday night, I popped in and had my mouth all set for a rare, juicy steak. The atmosphere is super casual and the restaurant is lit brightly. There is a beautiful wooden bar on one side of the venue, separated by the dining booths and featuring an impressive display of top-shelf brands. Unfortunately, the night I chose to walk in was actually "All You Can Eat Catfish" night. As my heart plummeted, I hesitantly asked the server if they could cook it grilled...and the answer was YES!!! Best news ever! The portion was generous beyond expectations, even if the "refill" was on a small plate, the fish was well cooked, and even "blackened" a bit with spices. All in all, a really tasty experience and I will be back this Tuesday for that steak they mentioned!

    Bonnie C's is a great local cafe offering a variety of options. The menu has real depth, from turkey and dressing, to Italian dishes, a selection of great sandwiches, and of course your seafood favorites. There are also rotating daily lunch specials that are always filling and tasty. This is a local casual sort of place, with a statue of Elvis that often is dressed for the season, and is sometimes standing out front. This seems appropriate for the diner type dishes that come out of the kitchen. One special side that you should not miss is the baked macaroni and cheese, luscious and lovely indeed. Another favorite to try is the open faced roast beef, which is served on a boat of crusty French Bread. All their sandwiches are special so it is hard to go wrong with that section of the menu. Bonnie C's is located right on Highway 11 in old-town Slidell. This is very easy to reach from I-10, as there is a Highway 11 Exit that is easy off and back on again. This will make it easy for travelers to stop in and have a great meal while passing through. It is just a few miles due south of I-10.

    Got the Deep South gold. Food came out cold. We got the red beans and rice as a side and the rice was undercooked. Horrible service.

    Ate here once. The food is definitely not comensurate with the prices they charge. The food isn't terrible, but not worth the money.

    My family and I had a nice time here, but left dissatisfied. Based on the reviews and the previous…read morelocation I was prepared to be blown away but I was not. Nothing specific, just a lot of little things that kept it from being great. The restaurant was busy, but we got a table with no wait. Our waitress was trying hard but fell short. Watching other servers at the tables around us, I think she was new. Not a huge deal - everybody is a beginner at some point - but it diminishes the overall. The food was good but not great. Perhaps a little pricey, but not extremely so. Some of the old favorite menu items I expected to see were not on the menu, mainly the pasta & sauce & cheese stuff. Baked ziti is a personal favorite, and the only way it was offered was in a combo with other things. No ravioli except the kind stuffed with seafood. The lasagna and spaghetti & meatballs seem tacked on the menu like an afterthought. I didn't see any menu items that I can't get anywhere else. Stiff competition in this category - there are some very good Italian restaurants in Slidell. That said, Joe's definitely has the potential to be a solid 4-stars. It's a new location, maybe it was a bad night, who knows? I will certainly go back and give them another shot, so I recommend them. Go try it and see for yourself.
