    I am from the west coast and no matter when I travel to the area for work I always go here for dinner....Covid or not.

    fried shrimp, coleslaw, and coleslaw

    Let me begin with the young ladies working here are some of the friendliness ladies that I have had to serve me in a long time. The frog legs , catfish and boiled shrimp were some of the best that I ever had. The catfish is offered in regular fillet, thin and crispy and whole catfish. Very nice to have a choice. The fried shrimp however was something you would expect from a gas station but not a seafood restaurant, very disappointing when everything else was top rated. This place was clean and well lit. Yes I will be back even though it is 1.5 hour drive from us.

    T-Johnny's!!! First visit by Natchitoches native, now Texan. Came home to down some crawfish &…read moreshrimp. Let me tell you 'bout this stuff. You're not a true Louisianan if you don't crave this cuisine. And sometimes other places that offer it make it too pricey or too spicy or too over-done. Not here! 'Boy howdy,' did this spot get it right & sail the flavor boat around the world without stopping!! Quick & friendly service. Lots of options with a la cart goodness. Seasoning that was JUST RIGHT!! Heat and warmth lasted throughout the meal so mine didn't get cold quickly. Sassy (which tastes buttery and salty) or Swamp (think Yum-Yum) sauces are fine selections to dredge the goods. My goodness, I forgot all about the competition across town at first bite. My crawfish claws and tails were SO fresh and tender I could easily crack it or pull out the meat and suck the umami juices. And when sucking the heads, the clear hint of lemon was there, just slap yo' mama already!! As we sat and ate, car after car after car pulled in and this was mid-afternoon, no lunch rush. People have been getting the memo that this Cajun spot is the place to go. Plus, the shrimp are YYYYUGE!!!! Only down side: not enough places to eat. Just the bar. The stools with no backs are hurting the hiney after an hour-long feeding and a thorough cleaning had to be requested as well as some paper towels/napkins at the minimal bar area to sit and chow. May I suggest more open and spaced seating arrangements could be added? T-Johnny's will be my go-to in Natchitoches in the quadruple parish area & it should be yours too--totally worth it!

    Excellent fried shrimp, probably the best I've had. Potato was cooked perfectly. Sassy sauce was…read moreexcellent!
