We got the pick 2 lunch special ($14). I had a poboy with fresh catch blackened. The sandwich was great. Freshly baked bread and decent portion of fish. My only complaint is that there was almost no spice to the fish. I also had the gumbo. They make theirs with a lot of very heavily browned rue, but again no spice. Those 2 don't go together. The gumbo was disappointing. Wife had a shrimp poboy which was good, and an "egg salad" which was a bunch of coleslaw with a little egg in it. Okay, not great. Service was good, though the kitchen was slow getting our food out. They were not that busy so hard to justify 30 minutes. Ambiance was nice. Very much in keeping with the Cajun style. read more

The food is great ! My wife and I shared the Swamp Platter with a house salad each. Plenty of food! The service was excellent! We happened to get there on a day they had live music. Not a fan of that because it's hard to carry on a conversation with people at the table. Some may find this a good thing. To each his own . I won't let that stop me from going back! read more

Alcoholic drinks are priced right; cronut dessert is the best kept secret; they know how to do a crawfish boil; oysters are on point; and the French fries with their corn and crab chowder is amazing. Their roast beef poboy reminds me of Danny N Clyde's on west bank in Gretna, LA....brought tears to my eyes it was sooooo good. Ask bartender to shake their whiskey sour. Gets the job done well Don't go here. This place is all mines. read more

I'm sitting here at 6PM - have been waiting on food for an hour with 4 tables total here. 1 person is serving the front - which is the 2nd time I've witnessed it - they have ran out of etouffe, gumbo, chicken tenders, pimento cheese, and I forgot what else. This is officially the 5th time I've been here since it opened and it's only gotten worse, and it never started great. This is a review to anyone working here or possibly ever wanting to work here to go find a place where owners and/or managers do not treat a restaurant like this. IF YOU DECIDE TO COME HERE - Tip the staff well enough that they can leave because they deserve better read more

3 starts is generous. We loved the old Cosse's. Staff was very nice. We ordered the sautéed crab claws. At the old place they came out in their sauce. These arrived on their "plates". They had good flavor, but were overcooked which made them dry. We did the fresh catch (times 2) and shrimp platter. It was the platter with 3 choices. Everything was quite brown. Although the coating was well done, the shrimp was good. The fish was just heavily fried. It all tasted the same. The fries were good. Everything was piping hot. Vibe is not the same as old place. Bar noise is pretty loud. It isn't the Cosse's we loved, flavors and atmosphere are off. read more

Finally drove up from the beach to try this place. The parking lot was packed but we had no problem getting seated. We were there on a Sunday and there was live music which was a pleasant surprise. We started with a broiled oyster trio. Cosse's is not stingy on the toppings. Lots of sausage, crab meat, and a great garlic cheese blend. We decided to just order appetizers since there was much to sample. The boudin balls were very large, 4 to the order. They were not seasoned enough for us, and fried perfectly. The gumbo balls were something new to us and they did not disappoint. Full of sausage, rice and other goodness, these will be ordered again. Finally,a bowl of corn and crab soup was decadent and perfect. We didn't finish everything on the table as portions were large. We will make the trip back soon. read more

This was our first time at the new Hwy 90 location. The interior was clean and spacious. Initially we were seated at a small table however your server (Cortney) moved us to a larger more comfortable spot. It has been more than a year since we last dined at the old location so the increased price of the Swamp platter was not unexpected. I read a couple of bad reviews and most of the complaints were about the price. $35 per person is an excellent price for fresh seafood in my opinion, after all it's not Long John Silver's. The new location is actually closer to our Ferry Pass residence so they can expect to see us at least twice a month. Hopefully we will get the same excellent service on our next visit. read more

If there's a zero star option, that'd be it! I went to this restaurant to eat dinner & noticed rats, cockroaches & filth inside & outside. The food is good but I seen pictures of where they fried a cockroach with someone's food. The cooks make food differently every time I've been there & the servers are rude. The bartenders have always pushed drinks on people & try to get customers drunk (the owner of the restaurant sat at the bar; falling over, extremely intoxicated.) read more

Cosse’s Place - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pace, Florida

I want to love this place so much but we will pass for now, unless they make some changes. Every time we have been we have had an issue with flies constantly flying over our food. This is an issue that can be taken care of so that is why I'm mentioning it. Three times we went and they had live music or they had a dj playing music bingo. Since the dinning area is on the smaller size, there is no where to sit that isn't right by the music. Being in a small area it makes the music very loud and intrusive. We could not have a conversation with our family while we ate unless we yelled. They seem to have music quite a bit so if you want to talk while you eat, you might want to call ahead to see what times are best. Food is good, service is good, wait times can be rather long (which is ok if you can speak to and enjoy your family while you wait). read more

The food was delicious. No idea who our waitress was, but she did very well. I had the hot roast beef poboy and my friend had the pasta Pontchartrain. They were both amazing. The service was great! Ambiance was like being in a cabin. It felt comfortable eating there. Next time I'm ordering something my different. No pics. read more

I was hoping for something more than bar food. It's a restaurant so I thought they'd have "Dirty rice", or some real Cajun food. Maybe in a few months I'll try it again, but it was a disappointment. read more

Met for dinner on Friday night in this Pace establishment. Super friendly folks, large porch area and nice Cajun decor. Lots of fried food options and plenty of seafood to choose from. Handmade dressings and hand breaded crab claws. Yummmmmm....all 4 of us had very tasty dishes.....maybe a hint high priced but I will say its worth it....gonna stop in again to check out the bar area. read more

I really want this place to succeed, let me say that up front. A combination of expense, slower service and "meh" taste drive my rating. We went early on a Friday and were seated straight away. However it took a while to get greeted and submit drinks and appy order (which she wasn't even sure was actually available...even though I read it straight from the regular menu.) The crab cakes came out New Orleans style (i.e. think misshapen ball) and were tasty, if not a slightly mushy inside. We ordered two types of baskets, fish and shrimp (which comes with fries.) Both were crispy and seasoned well. I even had a Salted Caramel Old Fashioned which was nice and strong. Unfortunately, the final cost for all the above made me think of fancy restaurant, not a casual, family place. I hope things improve, else I may only go back to enjoy the bar and drinks. read more

So glad it was open on Thanksgiving . We sat at the bar and they kindly put the Bears game on! (Don't judge ). Britney was awesome and had a fun festive turkey hat (it's the little things). The gumbo balls were very filling. My daughter loved the crab claws and oyster trio. They have a couple local beers which I appreciated. read more

Best muffaletta I've had in long time. Go on Tuesday night and play bingo while you eat.

Absolutely Heartbreaking--and Infuriating. After years of being loyal patrons to Cosses, choosing it time and again for the unbeatable trifecta of fresh oysters, inviting atmosphere, and reasonable prices, tonight marked a devastating end to that loyalty. We had high hopes for the new location--especially after the mess that was the last--but sadly, what unfolded was an absolute train wreck. What was once a charming, dedicated restaurant has become a complete circus. Tonight, the so-called entertainment was nothing short of an insult. The staff? Distracted and disengaged, with babies and children trailing behind like it was a daycare--not a restaurant where paying customers expect some semblance of professionalism. read more

This is only 1/2 of the 1/2 of the muffaletta & it is the best! So yummy! We will be back for sure! read more

Cosse’s Place - 1/4 Muffaletta - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pace, Florida

Today was our first time. We have passed by it several times and decided to stop today and give them a try. We were seated promptly. Our server Brittany K came over to take our drink order. When she came back. We ask her questions about the different items on the menu. She was very helpful to explain them to us. We decided on the Fresh Catch Atchafalaya. She assured us that it was plenty of food for sharing. And she was so right. There was plenty of food and it was amazing !!! The place is decorated with New Orleans artifacts. I would highly recommend this place. And ask for Brittany K. She is a great server !! They have a great selection of Cajun food and we saw some amazing food coming out of the kitchen. read more

NEVER AGAIN! Staff is preferential to serve Bar Customers their food prior to the two tables in the Dining Area even through those folks had come in first. Wasn't taking Credit Cards as the machine was down. After 45 minutes waiting & having witnessed four individual bar customers served plates. I stood by the Port Hole window of the Kitchen Door, waiting to tell the Waitress we where leaving. I saw her (Shexxx) standing in front of our order on the counter, waiting for the cook to finish, either over cooking the fries or burn the Po-Boy Bun. She reached into the center Oyster Basket and plucked something in her mouth and chewed. When I told her we didn't want the food what with you eating off the basket. She denied my eyes!!! NEVER AGAIN. The new other poor older ladies had used up all their lunch time and left, I wish them good luck at McDonalds! read more

Food was okay. Service was not good, especially since I was sitting at the bar. Maybe it was because I was drinking unsweetened tea. Anyway, it's just too expensive to neglect patrons like my friend and I were. read more

Food was okay but very over priced 43 dollars for a steak that was over cooked 11 dollars for a bloody mary my husband took 2 drinks from and didn't like and MUSIC LIVE SINGER WAS VERY VERY VERY LOUD so loud I couldn't hear waitress or anyone at my table we had to text to talk to each other bill for 3 people was 200 dollars will not be back read more

After 45 minutes, being one of the first customers, the food was at best lukewarm to cold. The sandwiches were served on plain hamburger buns. The service was OK the food arrived piece meal, probably due to poor kitchen organization. read more

I came here on thanksgiving around 12:00. It wasn't packed at all and the service was great. We sat at the bar watching the bears game. They changed the tv for us to the game. The waitress (Brittany) was sweet and made conversation. She was a great addition to our time here. The place is clean and well kept, with a very rustic interior. The food was amazing I got the sautéed crab claws and the baked oyster. It was very good deal for what I got and it tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to come again. read more

Ate here on 22 May. Service was good! Food was just ok. Prices were ridiculous. I was astounded at the prices, especially for the small portion size.. Atmosphere is Louisiana road side shack. I do not recommend read more

Crab claws were good. Just expensive--but you know that upon ordering. Shrimp poor boy is way off in terms of bread to shrimp ratio. Needs a lot more shrimp to make a decent sandwich. After two bites I only had two shrimp left. Cole slaw is meh. Needs more salt and more acid/vinegar and nothing about it tastes "Cajun". read more

I'm really impressed with building after the remodel from the old chets restaurant. Atmosphere is nice. I ordered a 3 item platter with fried oysters. Alligator, & redfish(catch of the day). It was good not over the top great. I definitely will back to give it another try. Staff was helpful just seemed maybe a little short handed. read more

I've been twice now. First time service was a tad slow but to be expected. Both times the food has been phenomenal. Love that we have a great seafood option in Pace! We tried shrimp, catch of the day, two of the soups and fried crab claws. Their batter is amazing. read more

Cosse’s Place - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pace, Florida

Disappointing food. High prices. Over seasoned fish , tiny servings of fish and shrimp size is pitiful for a Gulf Coast local joint. Cole slaw was cut up in the giant chunks , green beans were mushy , cheese grits seemed to have been made of instant grits mix and water and no cheese was detected. No hush browns. We rarely visit a fried seafood place and this was a letdown. Service was a good effort, and ambiance was fine. read more

Some Food wasn't good, we had to ask for rice for our nasty gumbo but that still didn't help it. They are to Expensive for what you get & the service was so so, the owners were walking around talking to other workers & not even engaging with customers, you would think they would since they had just opened back up.. I will say that the fried shrimp & oysters were good that my hubby had. Bread pudding tasted like Golden Corral which was good. Might give them a try one more time.. but for the price it's hard to say. read more

I ate there Sunday. It was amazing. I love New Orleans food good job Everything was amazing there. I went with my family. It was real good.

1. My date ordered a rum & coke and a water. I asked 4 water & a minute to decide my drink order. I and only i got a water,12 minutes later he received his cocktail and I was never asked about my drink order. We had to ask for his water..again 2. When served the overly fried gator bites we got no plates, no silverware, nor were we given a chance to ask for a dressing because she never returned until she brought our meal. 3. When my date asked for silverware the waitress pointed to a paper envelope on the table and said there it was. When she was told it's only 1 fork, she had to pick it up to see if indeed we were truthful then hesitantly mumbled ok and literally dropped 1 off as she quickly passed by. 4. The entre ..oh my gosh!! Costing over $25 we were presented with a plate of unseasoned rice, overcooked, with 5 small, thin triangular shaped pieces of what she said was Trigger fish. I thought the gator bites were tough..so was this fish!! So horribly overcooked!! Oh lest not forget the plate was rimmed with raw spinach leaves about an inch wide a half deep. Nothing on them. The etoouffe resemble condensed tomato soup with bits of something in it. There is no way I could recommend this restaurant..not for his food or service. On a scale of 1-10 this rates solid 1. Well the place itself looked rather rustic in a cute sort of way. read more

Shelley the bartender is hands down the best , I got here while she was singing! Yes they have karaoke on Mondays. Pleasant atmosphere and she's gorgeous too read more

Tuesday 4/15 not too crowded at 5:30. Food was just so so. Had shrimp boil. Corn and potatoes did not look that great. Didn't eat those. It was bingo night which was free but hard to eat and play bingo. Table was small and there were 4 of us. Music was loud. My friend waited :15 minutes for a house salad and the "ranch" dressing was bizarre. Won't be going back. read more

I have to give a huge ridiculous shout out to D our server today for making sure my friend with celiac had a delicious meal that was safe for her to eat!!!!! We sat outside and it was a beautiful day my friend got fried chicken tenders, fried pickles, French fries and honey mustard that were all gluten free because of the corn flour I got shrimp, the corn and Mac n cheese (Mac not gluten free) and it was all delicious 10/10 D made sure to double check everything and they have separate fryers too :) read more

Food was great and service was good nice place and I will return returned and got some fried fish and a drink enjoyed

We have been to Cosse's several times in the past with very good experiences. Last evening was a disappointing evening. We ordered the crawfish queso for an appetizer. It was as good as the last few times we have had it. Only issue was we could not hold a conversation due the volume of the live band. Once our entrees came out we anticipated the same. What was served as a crawfish etoufeé was not good. No crawfish and the base was very much a tomato base, not the same as we have gotten before. The server, Maillet, checked with the kitchen and they were going to redo the order. What was brought out was the same base with sautéed crawfish tails. We sat a few minutes after receiving the remakes and realized it would not get better if we sent it back again. We boxed up the remade servings and paid our bill and left disappointed. Not sure if this is a one-off, or if someone decided to 'create' a new version for a classic Cajun dish, but we will be careful next time in our dining options. read more

Poorest excuse for a restaurant EVER! Gumbo tasted ok, but the rest of the food was a fiasco! We were ignored completely as the waitress waited on some people who had come in the restaurant after we sat down! Finally, she asked if we had been waiting on. We ordered a crawfish basket and a shrimp basket. We sat there for awhile, and suddenly, the waitress was back to tell us that they were out of shrimp. So, I decided to order a crawfish poboy. They brought me, basically, french bread with lettuce on it. There were maybe 5 or 6 crawfish tails on it! We were asked if I wanted the sandwich to be shown to the kitchen! We asked if we could have our bill adjusted. We paid $40 for food that we didn't even eat! The crawfish poboy was subtracted from the bill, but otherwise, we didn't even eat the food! It was that bad! And when we were outside going to the car, we noticed that it is filthy around the back of the building with stuff all over the place. Trashy looking area. I would NEVER suggest going there for food! We were told that it was because the owner had just had major surgery, and is now in a wheelchair. What does that have to do with being able to run a restaurant and offer good quaility food? We honestly are sorry that he has health issues and we wish him well, but his restaurant has gone downhaul in a hurry! Never again for us. They just took our money for nothing! read more

Not what i was expecting, first of all my husband asked what kind of beer they had and the waitress said there is a list at the bar, it would have been nice to have a drink menu. Then i ordered the fresh catch atchafalaya which was very good, but nowhere on the description did it say was on a bed of spinach. I ordered a side of spinach. I wish the waitress would have informed me my dish came with spinach there was so much spinach i couldn't even see the rice. Disappointed! Waitess initials MC read more

Excellent food; true Cajun cuisine we had the fried crab claws, and a half Muffaletta, with Jumbulia side. Delicious!
