Our waitress was extremely friendly and made sure that we had what we needed. The restaurant was very clean and organized. Even the cook checked to see how we were doing. The food was definitely worth the price and customer service was great. I would give 10 stars if I could. Shays will be my restaurant whenever I am in Louisiana.

When we visit Winnsbori, we'll stay far away from Mel's.

Honey's is conveniently located on US 425, with ample parking far enough from the road. Upon our…read moreentrance just after 4 pm Friday, and in our opinion; it seemed like they were over staffed. This became confirmed after many people came to take our orders, deliver our meals, and check on us. Google says they opened at 4pm, and we came in time for the Buffet; but the Buffet didn't start until 5, and there was no mention of that on Google or their Facebook post for the Buffet. Our choice was to wait almost an hour, or order from the menu, which we did. I heard from reviews how good the Fried Broccoli was and we started our meal with that. I feel like our meals of fried fish, shrimp with sides of french fries, fried okra, fried onion rings, and slaw took longer than needed to prepare because they were cooking for the Buffet. The Fried Broccoli IS NOT TO BE MISSED. It was surprisingly delicious with a well coated batter. The fish and shrimp were delicious as well. The food with the exception of the fries were thoroughly seasoned, not just salted. I don't remember seeing any dessert options on the menu, a lemon, cherry, or blackberry pie would have been a welcome addition. We were well taken care of by an attentive staff. The business was clean and well maintained.

As was the mac and cheese, Lima beans and fried squash. This is NOT the place to go if you are dieting. Just saying. Tea is included, but salad bar and dessert are extra.

Great Seafood, But Service Needs Work…read more I've been to this seafood spot a few times, and the food is always amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and well worth the money. The crab legs and shrimp are some of the best I've had in a long time, and the portions are generous. That said, the service during my last visit was really disappointing. Our server, Ashley, forgot our food more than once and seemed irritated whenever we asked for help or updates. Everyone can have an off day, but the attitude and lack of attention really took away from what should've been a great dining experience. I'd still recommend this place for the food alone, but I really hope management takes a closer look at improving customer service. With better staff attitudes, this would easily be a five-star restaurant.

I was so excited to finally be in Louisiana and try some authentic Cajun food, and this place did…read morenot disappoint! I ordered the gumbo and alligator, and both were absolutely delicious. They didn't have cornbread (a little disappointing), but the hush puppies made a great substitute and soaked everything up perfectly. I also tried the boudin balls, which were flavorful and tasty, though I felt they leaned a little too heavy on the rice and could've used more meat. Still, very enjoyable overall. The staff was friendly and kind. Service was straightforward--no extra chatter or banter, which I do think is something missing from today's dining experience, especially with younger staff. If you leave here hungry, that's on you! I'd definitely come back the next time we're on this side of town.

I was on the hunt for a proper late lunch in Monroe today when I happened upon Warehouse No. 1, a…read morebeautifully rustic, warehouse-style establishment situated right on the water. Upon entering, I found the interior decor to be rather average and understated but do not let that fool you for a single moment. The true piece de resistance is the spectacular view of the Ouachita River just on the other side. It is absolutely magnificent, providing the most glorious backdrop that would be utterly perfect for an elegant evening out, a romantic date, or a refined family gathering. While the setting isn't overly fancy, the natural beauty of the river paired with the immense warmth of the staff makes it incredibly special. To commence our meal, I opted for a classic, perfectly chilled Martini, while my partner ordered the Watermelon Breeze both were thoroughly refreshing. As we sat chatting and taking in the scenery, we ordered the Shrimp and Grits along with a side of hush puppies. When the cuisine arrived, it was an absolute triumph. The flavors were entirely delicious, capturing the very best of Southern comfort. Between the breathtaking view, the flawless hospitality, and the exceptional food, this establishment is a true treasure. It deserves every bit of its five stars, and I shall most certainly be returning
