My Dad and I had to be in Lake Charles today for some appointments and needed to get some lunch. My…read morecousin had recommended Southern Spice via Facebook earlier in the week, so we thought we would give it a chance. We were NOT disappointed. We were greeted at the door by smiling faces and the sound of lively conversation at each of the tables we passed. This is clearly a local favorite. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive which always makes the experience in a new place better. We looked over the menu since we had never been there, but both our eyes went to the specials board which had two options on it...Hamburger Steak and Red Beans and Rice. We resolved to each get one of the options, as well as Mozzarella Sticks as a starter. The Mozzarella Sticks were incredible! Melty and hot on the inside and perfectly crispy outside. Probably won't ever come back without getting those! For my entree, I got the Red Beans with Buttered Corn and Green Beans for my sides. THAT is how you make Red Beans! It was perfectly seasoned and the sausage was smokey and flavorful. The sides were not lacking in salt or butter. If I had one critique it would be that the cornbread tasted great but was dry in the middle...a little pat of butter inside would fix that. My Dad got the Hamburger Steak and, while I did not taste it myself, it looked amazing, and I noticed several others eating it too, which may mean that it is known to be good. Those Mashed Potatoes looked delicious as well. He said it was all great. Side note...their Southern Spice All Purpose Seasoning is among the best I have ever tasted. I will be getting my hands on some of that. To sum it up...I will be back, and I'm bringing my whole family next time!

Maplewood Burgers is amazing a local place I discovered in Sulphur, and I'm really glad I did. This…read moreis the original location on Maplewood Drive that gave it its name. This location seems like a cross between a restaurant and a convenience store, but don't let its humble appearance fool you. There's some great burgers to be had here! I guess we should start with the headliners, which are the stuffed burgers! These hearty creations have a variety of fillings stuffed into the center of the hamburger meat itself, making them a huge moist juicy and delicious handful! The variety of fillings includes mushrooms and Swiss; boudin; BBQ brisket; and even macaroni and cheese. These are a great choice, but one can also get a plain old fashioned hamburger or cheeseburger with toppings outside of the patty if one wishes. There are a choice of breads for these, so if you want it on Texas Toast or a Jalapeno Bun, it's all good! Then you need a side. There are of course fries and onion rings, but also tater tots and sweet potato fries. If you have any room left they have a pretty nice selection of ice cream and frozen treats. This location is just north of I-10, so it's convenient to stop into for a quick lunch. If one is so inclined, you could get an order to go, and enjoy a picnic at the nearby Maplewood Park.

It was quiet here and we were seated and served quickly. I wanted a traditional, good ol' shrimp po'boy so I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the menu description. The po'boy had grilled shrimp instead of fried, but it was very good! It came with remoulade sauce (which was good), but I honestly liked it without. It had enough delicious flavor from the shrimp itself. I also would've preferred big slices of real tomato vs the grape tomatoes. The shrimp chowder was excellent! So good! We'll see u on our next road trip! $72 for 2 large shrimp po'boys, 2 small zapps chips, and a 16 oz chowder. Note: They charged 3% for cc fee. Bathrooms were fairly clean but one stall one not in great shape.

As they were putting on gloves they rubbed their eye and then proceeded to fumble with putting on gloves touching the finger parts.

This is my second experience with a server touching face and then preparing food. The first time I canceled before they began to make the salad.

After viewing the lunch buffet we decided to give it a try to save time. It seemed today most of the customers were locals comprised of contractors and maybe plant workers, there was no doubt this place is a local favorite. After placing our drink orders we proceeded to the steam table and grabbed our plates, most of the food seemed fresh and definitely hot, the kitchen was in the process of refilling items as we served ourselves. Honestly there was nothing bad here but after trying a few bites I was reaching for the hot sauce to jazz things up a bit. I thought the prices were a little steep considering the portions we chose, if you're one that will make multiple trips to the food bar it's probably a good deal. We felt the food quality and preparation was just okay, it's likely we would not return or travel out of our way to dine here again.
