Oh my and the shrimp grits with étouffée! Po Boys, Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice all very good! Like Really Good! They have the very best bacon too! Or Pork Taffy as we call it! Breakfast, Lunch, or Supper! Never a disappointment! It's definitely a local favorite!

The fish was perfectly fried, piled high, and not dripping with oil. I was not a fan of the French fries--I should have subbed those out for coleslaw. For dessert, I was sold on the turtle cake once I learned that it's made from scratch by the owner's grandma. I never get dessert with my meal, but this was worth it! The service was splendid and the inside is very cute. Give this place a shot!

Suggestions are shrimp dishes, gumbo, crawfish, & sandwiches. Over half the customers are locals & regulars. As other local eateries decline, Rice Palace improves.

Here today! Myself…read moreand 3 of my coworkers was on our way to Florida, 2 were truck drivers. For anyone that doesn't know, truck drivers and bus drivers know the best places to eat. I had no suggestions, all I knew was I knew of the best place to get some boudin balls. Picture the 4 of us hungry hippos talking over each other wanting what we want and all claiming we knew the best place to get the best of what we craved. I cleared the least hours so when it came to driving, NOT me but I totally forgot we were passing through Louisiana so I acted exhausted and chose the rear of the van so count me out the equation hahaha. The rule of thumb is the driver gets the final say on where we stop to eat and he CLAIMED the place he knew had great food including boudin balls (I'm in the rear flipping through my Yelp reviews searching for the place I was insisted on stopping at). Ok so we pull up to this deserted hole in the wall (see picture) parking lot irritated voicing my disappointment and so did the other 2 except the driver who was reassuring us the food was DA BEST, he raved on and on about their food was life changing. We walk in and the place and it's DESERTED, but I did see a couple eating boudin balls so ok fine. Our waitress took our drink order, I wanted an Arnold Palmer and she explained their tea wasn't sweet because majority of their customers were seniors. As we're looking over the menu the driver wasn't, he still insisting the food was da chiii and already knew what he wanted, I'm looking for BOUDIN BALLS hangry (hungry/angry) coworker 3 saying we needed to go elsewhere, coworker 4 asking is the food even Cajun and do they have seasoning she could add. As we're ordering I asked WHERE ARE THE DANG boudin balls, she say they don't have them and what I saw the couple had was fried mushrooms balls. The driver who chose the restaurant was conveniently in the restroom! We all order and waited impatiently for our meals still complaining and small talking. Our meals arrive and the 3 of us looking at our plates like toddlers deciding if we was going to eat what we was given, the waitress said it's a lot she knows. Naw lady, this a hole in the and inflation too high to waste on food we won't like, this Louisiana and we know there's better in this State. WE took our first bites in unison and said DAMN looks are deceiving! THEEE flavor was there! Each of us started raving about what we ordered and offering each other a taste of Louisiana cooking! The portions were enough to take with us since we would be arriving in Florida late and had to clear 8 hrs before we took over our buses. We was so satisfied with the portions of out left overs that we didn't need to spend anymore money, we want to sleep the rest of the ride. WE highly recommend Rice Palace if you want to try a different restaurant in Louisiana, or a budget because eating on a road trip isn't as affordable anymore we have to be cost conscious. Here today! Yup will be back tomorrow!

From the looks, you can immediately tell it's an old Waffle House from the outside. Once you walk…read morein, definitely an old Waffle House. However, the vibe is totally unique. Nova is a fitting name. The menu is "nerdy" and the taste is explosive. We tried their Avocado Coffee. Yes. Avocado Coffee. Very inventive, especially for Pineville. There are so many amazing menu items that's creatively named (Sorry I was so caught up and being super early. I forgot to take pics except for the one site pic after the rush has cleared before another rush of people about to walk in as we were walking out). There were four of us and every plate was uniquely named and scrumptious. We aren't from here, so we are definitely surprised to experience this "big city" experience in a small town. Staff and service were amazing. The owner even came by to talk to us. Place might remind us of old Waffle House but it smells clean and looks clean. It's CLEAN. If you live within 30 mins of driving...Or even an hour.... Definitely worth a drive to come here to support great local small business owners and expect to be blown away with the creativity and deliciousness!!!!

We got the Hudson and Jambalaya grits with fried fish. The boudin in the Hudson is one of the yummiest boudin I've had. And the bacon maple jam made the flavor even more complex.

Everyone is so welcoming. It feels like very home-y place. Hope this helps!

No greeting whatsoever! The young girl at the register truly did not want to be bothered by anyone who entered the restaurant. I would give her a zero!
