The fried onion rings and fried green beans are very good, and the sauce and ranch that came with them are also both very tasty. I couldn't decide on a fried oyster poboy or fried fish poboy, so I did half and half. Either was okay...just okay. This is definitely a place I would go back again and try one of the many eye catching menu items, but this experience was just average. There's plenty of seating around the place, with an outdoor patio (pictured) right over the bayou with phenomenal views. All staff is incredibly nice and friendly, one of those places that everyone knows everyone. Order did take a bit longer to come out though. There are plaques around the restaurant where they've been voted numerous times to have the best fried chicken around or something like that. I ate 1 wing...it was okay. At that point I was a little bummed by my poboy so that may have influenced my opinion, but again this is definitely an establishment I would visit again.

This time it wasn't the best experience. My family and I used to go a lot! But slowed down some…read more.. til it had been a while. But today 1-11-26 we were not satisfied with the food and the price. My grandson had fried fish platter he said that it was very good. The other 3 of us cant say the same as him. Anyways, the server was nice the place was crowded not a bad atmosphere but the 4 of us sat scrunched up at a small table, and I ordered water like I always do at places I eat. They did not tell us it was only bottled and the fee was 2.49 per bottle. I really dont like to complain. I used to have nothing but good to say. Today was different. Im just being honest about our experience. I hope others enjoy it regardless. I had a grilled shrimp salad and there was WAY TOO MUCH cheese on it and way too much croutons. Maybe 6 shrimp. And when my plate was served I smelled a strange smell from the shrimp. The others had a type of salad and grilled chicken breast Acadiana with a cup of seafood gumbo, had too much rice in it. They had complaints about theirs too. We ended up not eating it all and did not take with us. The grandson ate all his and he was happy. We all were glad at least he enjoyed his.

YOU NEED TO EAT HERE!…read more Party of 7, and EVERYONE was happy with their orders. Fantastic. Thinking of making the hour drive just to come back again on our trip. Drink: French greyhound. Perfectly balanced and super yummy Appetizers: fried green tomatoes and duck kebabs. Dinners: flatbread margarita, Korean rice bowl (the days special), pork belly and grits, skirt steak. I mean seriously, not only was the main protein of the meal good, every component side, garnish, sauce, was fab. We had already done two "traditional" Cajun /creole meals and were ready for a fresh break and 531 didn't disappoint. Don't let "cafe" make you think it's any less of a great spot. Also got to talk with the owner which was awesome and quaint.
