We stopped in today for a bowl of shrimp and crab gumbo for lunch. The outside of the place looked…read morea little more run down than I remembered but the inside was clean and the staff was friendly. The gumbo was still good and very affordable ($8.95 I believe), rice is served on the side, and their potato salad (recommended accompaniment in Cajun Country) is very good! Tried a link of boudin today. It was very good!

Their crawfish pistolettes are the best I've ever had. You can even buy them frozen and fry at home.read more

I was looking for a Cajun seafood fix in Lake Charles and thoroughly searched Yelp and saw that…read morethis place was rated the highest overall. Leonard's did not disappoint! The service was to-go style ordering and you can request to eat there. You'll pick up your food at the counter and sit at an available table. Now for the food. The ambience was an old place with a dining table to sit at. It's a bit old, but you can never judge a book by its cover. I'm from Texas so I know Cajun. This place is rated the highest and I see why! The food was absolutely amazing. My only concern was that the place wasn't as packed as I thought it would be for a highly rated restaurant. That scared me and almost made me second-guess coming there. I risked it out, and the reward was lovely! I had the seafood platter and everything was nicely seasoned. To add fuel to the season fire, a season shaker was available. But you didn't need it. If anything, you'll need some condiments to your preference. One thing I didn't like was that there weren't any catfish available. That's what made me give this place a 4.5! Gotta have catfish in Louisiana! Its a requirement! Let me tell y'all about the seafood pasta! It's one of the best pastas I ever had! Overall, the food was lovely from a place that has part of the French Quarter in its name. I will ABSOLUTELY & DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Leonard's Food Quarters and WILL be back whenever I'm in the area! PS, I have pictures, but for some reason I can't find them. I will update this soon with pics.

However, the restaurant was very dirty; food all over the floors, doors full of finger prints. Not sure if the hostess heard me but shortly after I saw someone trying to sweep up the mess. Overall, the service was good, food was good as well and not overly overpriced. The redfish was very good!

Unfortunately I don't get the great reviews. I ordered "fried shrimp". Perhaps I should have…read moreordered the jumbo popcorn shrimp & I would feel differently. My shrimp were butterflied & flattened so that when they were fried they were overcooked, dry & tough. It seemed like there was too much cornmeal coating because of the large surface area. My S.O. had the grilled shrimp & flounder. His shrimp were small & overcooked. He enjoyed his flounder & thought the fried rice was good. Sorry, but I'd rather make the drive to Hamilton's or another area restaurant for excellent fried shrimp & onion rings. My fries were good, but had too much Cajun seasoned salt so they were way too salty. Perhaps some people enjoy heavily salted food. I do not. I do love spicy. Tracey was super friendly. In fact, so much so that I feel a bit guilty writing this review. Obviously she isn't hurting for business as the parking lot always has cars when we drive by. The restaurant was clean. There is mention that it was a Burger King. I would think that some of the furnishings have been replaced/redone. There was some colorful vinyl that looked new. The inside was fine to me. I personally enjoy paying less for food vs. more for a more upscale atmosphere. The food is what matters to me.
