Being that this Golden Corral was in Louisiana they welcomed us with smiles and great options of hot fresh food. The wait staff did a great job of serving the lot of us, the manager kept up with our demands of what ran out. Incoming other patrons didn't feel the blunt of our bus load because staff all manned their stations. Great job Golden Corral! Here today! Somewhere else tomorrow!

The place was clean, but the bathroom floors were sticky and the toilets were wet with what I am going to assume was urine. Waitress also randomly took our receipt so we couldn't even check it afterwords, not sure if that's normal.

Also sauce on the side. Pork fried rice, spring rolls in my experience are actually egg rolls which doesn't matter what they call it bc they're good! Also opt for the house made sweet-sour and hot mustard sauces for a nominal fee, but they are so worth it. Careful on the mustard the Chinese horseradish will take your breath away, but it is great with appetizers.

Love the wonton soup and go there just for that. The spring rolls are fantastic too! Sometimes it's…read morereally busy and it's a bit of a wait to get served, but overall it's not usually that bad. I like the fact that it's quiet and there's not a lot of loud music playing.

Service varied--the gentleman who assisted me was friendly, while the woman at the register was not. The garlic naan looked appealing but lacked garlic flavor.

I ate a little bit of everything they had on the buffet and then went a second round and did the same thing. It was all so delicious. Different textures too. I'd have never tried some of this area regular restaurant. Glad I did. I was so elated when we left from all the great Indian food. It is in an old gas station so sort of like a hole in the wall. But very good.

WOW! This place is always on point and truly the very best BBQ on the Northshore, which I don't say…read morelightly. Having lived in Austin and being obsessed with BBQ I'd call myself a little bit of a BBQ perfectionist. Anyone who has done it themselves knows to get it right you can't rush it, takes good prep, cooking process, and resting/proper finishing. Salty Joe's definitely focuses on all of those aspects of making good barbecue and the finished product is tasty. Their Brisket is juicy, smokey, and rich beef flavors, the ribs are tender and seasoned well, and the pulled pork is a good balance of prim flavor and smokiness. Don't skip on the drinks (margaritas are delicious) or the desert

Salty Joe's is more of a restaurant that has BBQ than it is a BBQ restaurant. Nothing wrong with…read morethat just an observation based on their huge menu. My buddy and I stopped in here one Saturday for lunch and decided to split an order of Philly cheesesteak eggrolls and a sampler platter. The eggrolls were solid and came with a cheese dipping sauce. There were 3 of these that were cut in half so really enough for 3-4 people to get a taste. The sampler platter came with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with 2 sides. We got the beans and corn pudding. The corn pudding is a misnomer as this is really cornbread. Still good though. The meats were all pretty good with the brisket being better than I expected. Their sauces were not my favorite. I think one had some sort of blackberry flavor, but I could have that wrong. The food is pretty good; the service was on point and the place itself is fun and funky.

5 Stars -- Incredible food, generous portions, and the BEST desserts!…read more We came in with a big group -- kids, grandkids, the whole family -- and we were blown away by how good the food was across the board. We started with the fried boudin balls and crispy house-smoked bacon. Both were delicious and packed with flavor. We also shared a bowl of red beans & rice, and even my one-year-old grandson devoured it (and wore a good portion of it on his face!). The brunch board was a huge hit -- such a fun assortment of waffles, pancakes, pastries, fruit, sausage, bacon, and more. Truly something for everyone, and perfect for sharing. For mains: * I had the Trout Almondine with cheese grits -- and those grits were honestly the BEST I've ever had. Creamy, cheesy, and perfect. * My daughter ordered the ribeye and loved it. * My husband had a burger and cleaned his plate. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. We weren't disappointed in a single item. And then... the desserts. Oh my goodness. We tried the cheesecake, pecan pie, and bread pudding. The cheesecake was the best I've ever had, and my daughter agreed. The pecan pie tasted like something straight out of a grandmother's kitchen -- my husband said it was the best he's ever had. The bread pudding was rich, warm, and equally delicious. The staff was friendly and patient with the kids, which made the evening stress-free and fun. Bottom line: we loved everything -- from appetizers to dessert -- and we will absolutely be back!

We got here around 8ish in the evening and it was raining so not many people here. So we propped up at the bar and ordered. I was in a martini mood so Gin martinis were my calling; they made them the way I like: slightly dirty w/ extra olives. I can't remember how many of those I ordered but they went down smooth. I didn't want to order anything heavy so I decided on the Brussels Sprouts and a cup of the Chicken/Andouille Gumbo. The Brussels were crispy and had a nice soy glaze to cap it off. They garnished it with some peeled scallions which gives a nice finish. I'm a sucker for Brussels Sprouts; if they're on the menu, I'm very likely gonna order them. The gumbo was pretty good, had a tomato richness to it. I forgot what my friend ordered; probably cause I had too many martinis. It's about a 10-15 minute drive from Hammond but it's worth it. Check it out when you're in the area!
