I used Yelp to select this restaurant for lunch. I came in an 4 employees were sitting around in…read moretheir phones. I was told to seat myself. After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

Second time here and still delicious…read more We tried to go Friday and the parking was insane, that's probably my only complaint about the entire experience . We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

Needed a good but quick lunch so I can get back in the road and YELP lead me to here …read more.. As soon as I walked in the service was above and beyond , walked me through the beers(I didn't get any being I'm driving ) and the food and made my decision easier The place inside has some cool photos and paintings and when I mentioned that to the bartender , she gave me a lesson on the general in photo as well as how the flying tigers came about (loved it ) I ordered a pepperoni pizza with extra fresh and shredded mozzarella, took photos then hit the road . If you need a nice place to sit and chat with friends and family and enjoy a cold lager and food , this is it for sure.

We made the fastest pizza stop ever here on our drive home from Florida…read more I knew the pizza I wanted, ordered it at the counter right when we walked in because I couldn't find a phone number to call ahead. (Do you take call ahead orders?) Bummed I couldn't order ahead since we were in a hurry but it was very easy and quick to order at the counter, pizza was out in less than eight minutes. (It was slow at the time, so I'm assuming that helped). I asked for a to go box right away and we ate 2 slices, packed and left. We were in and out in about 20 minutes. I'm an IPA drinker and the one beer they were out of was their IPA. This was a bummer. I would have loved to have tried it. I would have bought a single can but they also don't sell singles (maybe they aren't allowed to do so) The pizza was delicious. Really, really good, and I'm a pizza snob. Just the right amount of cheese, enough basil, tasty sauce, great crust and well cooked. the one negative was it was too salty. It wasn't just salty cheese or salty sauce, it tasted like the entire pizza had salt on top of it. I like salt so this didn't ruin it for me, but I was pretty surprised how salty it was and would specifically request less salt (if possible) next time. The pizza is delicious, definitely don't need to make it this salty so if adding extra salt on top you can X that! I loved the atmosphere. Very clean and well lit, with a good amount of TVs but not too many. Comfortable seats well spaced. Cool outdoor space. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely stop again!

I asked to have white sauce drizzled on the smokey pig pizza and it was a great addition due to it being a creamy bbq based sauce per our friendly server.

The lovely Spensyr was reminiscing about Louisiana spicy BBQ shrimp, so we came in for dinner…read more We started with gumbo. Big chunks of chicken and okra filled the cup, along with perfectly cooked rice. BBQ shrimp was salty and spicy, pretty good but I wouldn't specifically seek it out if we came back to town. Our burgers were cooked perfectly, with a crunchy crust and tender insides . Service was fast and friendly!

I don't get to Ruston very often, but when I do, Griff's is always on the list…read more Maybe it's the cute...or slightly creepy...little chef logo that gets me every time. Who am I kidding? It's the hot link. It tastes like somebody fired up the grill in their backyard instead of a fast-food kitchen. The burgers hold their own against just about every chain out there, and if you add chili, you'll thank me later. Then there's dessert. Shakes, fried pies, strawberry shortcake...they've got every course covered. Griff's feels like a throwback to a time when fast food had a little more personality and tasted like somebody actually cared. Places like this are getting harder to find. It's right across from Louisiana Tech, so expect a line when school's in session. Don't let it scare you off. It's absolutely worth the wait. Face it, people like Griff's.

We recently tried The Burger Grind and came away pretty impressed…read more I had the Texan 1-lb burger, and this thing was huge! It was tasty and definitely a filling burger, although it was a little on the salty side. We also tried the fries and onion rings, which were both good, but the real highlight for me was the mushrooms. They were excellent and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. They also have boudin egg rolls, which were surprisingly very good. My only complaint is that they could have been a little bigger, especially for the price. Overall, there was a lot to like here. The portions are generous, the food is flavorful, and the boudin egg rolls are definitely worth trying. I'd go back to The Burger Grind and try some of their other burgers.

I called in my order to be picked up and they have a drive-thru window, which is very convenient…read more My burger was cooked to perfection and very juicy. The house fries were amazing as well. The pricing is reasonable, especially for what you get. Also the owners and staff are very polite and are customer satisfaction focused. I would leave 10 stars if possible.
