I came in with a group of friends to watch the superbowl last night and we had a great time. This…read morewas a great alternative to hosting and we got to see a couple people we knew also spending their Super Bowl Sunday this way. We ordered the usual apps, drinks and burgers. Everything was good, but the onion rings were beyond! I would come back to specifically order them with an ice cold beer. The food was fine, which is what I am expecting from a place like this. Noting specifically special, but their service is where they stand out. Cheyenne was our server and she was great at remembering everything and serving us in such a quick and efficient manner. The reason why I am writing this is truly because we all watched the halftime show together and it felt like an experience I would have in my own home. The servers and staff hovered around us and the big TV. Everyone was welcome and just as excited to watch together. This was a truly special moment, reflective of the restaurant's hospitality. We will certainly be back!

MAY 2026 Anniversary Vacation Part 4A: NOLA Southern Grill…read morein Slidell, LA. We were in Oyster Heaven last night at NOLA Southern Grill. It's a Hidden Gem nestled in Slidell, LA. We like to sit at the bar in restaurants and chat with people. Last night, we enjoyed chatting with the bartender Carol and her friend who is another local. I started off with a killer dirty martini! Carol knows how to make a good one! She, the cooks and entire staff are so appreciated! They were a lot of fun. Carol was so nice, very attentive and saw to every need of her customers. They offer Happy Hour 3-6:00 which included OYSTERS, raw or chargrilled! So I had both...raw and chargrilled. Terry stuck with the grilled. The raw oysters were amazing! Plumper, meatier, creamy and mild and less briny than East Coast NC and VA oysters. These are the kind of oysters you also want to fry! They were so perfect and so delicious! Next came out the Chargrilled Oysters...drenched and grilled with a melted Parmesan, Garlic, Herb Butter Sauce and served with slices of warm, garlic French bread to sop up the hot butter sauce that pooled at the bottom of the tray. Oh my oh my oh my! Shut the front door OUTSTANDING! Terry and I relished every single bite, I may have been moaning as I kept saying how delicious they were. Perfection on an oyster shell. We shared 2 doz chargrilled plus I had a doz raw with cocktail sauce and freshly grated horseradish. I seriously think I could have had more oysters! Terry also ordered their fried mushrooms, best we ever had! We ate like Kings and Queens. Dragos is on our list to go to but if we don't make it there this time, I'm so happy with NOLA Southern Grill's chargrilled oysters, I'm good, I don't need to go. I would like to compare the chargrilled oysters though, we shall see. But in the meantime....move over Dragos! NOLA Southern Grill has entered the building! Let's what we can get into trouble with later today in NOLA. I have my list!

Love this place! We're not in Slidell too often, but we made it a point to swing by here again when…read morewe were in town! I've only ever had their breakfast here, but they do SUCH a great job, I'll have to come back for their lunches too It's a casual eatery that always seems to be fairly popular. Everything is very reasonably priced, so yummy, and their portions are generous. You'll go home full without completely emptying your wallet I highly recommend their "Poor Man's Benedict" ($10). It's SO good! It comes with their freshly baked biscuit topped with fried chicken and a poached egg, smothered in their homemade sausage gravy. The biscuit is soft, the eggs are perfect, their fried chicken is flavorful and well-seasoned, and the gravy is savory and just makes it feel like comfort food. You really can't miss out on their fried chicken. I know what you're thinking, fried chicken first thing in the morning? Trust me though, it's DELISH and you won't regret it! If you're really hungry, I suggest the "Chicken Fried Platter" ($13). It's very similar to the Benedict, but it comes with an extra side. We tried the hashbrowns and they were yum. Crispy surface and soft on the inside. Just the way I like 'em!

Left after sitting at table for 25-35 minutes without service, so I can't speak to the food…read more Granted the place was very busy. After about 15 minutes, I walked to the waitress station and politely asked for a menu; the response was an eye roll with menus "shoved" at me in an aggravated manner. Regardless, I thanked her. Soon, the same young waitresscame over and took our drink orders (waters) nicely, but then she left the back room where we were seated and did not return! Whaa? I never saw her again, so we have it another 15 min and gave up. We looked for our angry waitress as we walked through to leave hoping she, or anyone, might notice we were leaving, but nothing. The restaurant was crowded and diners seemed happy enough so perhaps we simply got the wrong person in the wrong moments. However, since I'm from out-of-state, this is the impression I will forever have of La Pines Cafe.

The Big Easy Diner is one of the more pleasant diners I have visited, offering a nostalgic 50s and…read more60s atmosphere. The food has consistently been excellent; my daughters treated me here for Father's Day, and we were all very satisfied. We started with the large onion rings, which were substantial enough to nearly fill us up. For our entrees, I had the BLT, my youngest daughter ordered a hamburger, and my eldest chose the cheesy fries. Everything was well-prepared, and the milkshakes and iced tea were both top-tier. While service can occasionally be slow during peak hours due to staffing challenges, the staff on duty are always friendly and accommodating. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable. This was not our first visit to the Big Easy, and it certainly won't be our last. If you are looking for fast food, the major chains are located just down the street, and if you are seeking fine dining, this is not that either. The Big Easy Diner is simply a wonderful place to enjoy a quality meal.

She wasn't our server but still checked on us which we totally appreciated. If I lived out here I'd try to snatch her for my own business!! Michelle was equally as pleasant! Checked on us just enough, made sure our food was exactly what we needed. The food was DELICIOUS. The shrimp on the Shrimp salad was cooked perfectly. The batter was not heavy but rather light and crisp enough. The Cobb salad was the perfect size and every ingredient was fresh and delicious. The ranch dressing - PERFECT! We typically share a meal but after eating tons of fried food we needed some fresh greens and Big Easy did not disappoint. We were pleased to see how well kept the exterior and interior were. We will DEFINITELY stop here again when in town.

Horrible!!! 0 out of 10 do not recommend!…read moreMy husband and I patronized this restaurant on yesterday. When we got there, there was no one in line to order. We stood at the counter for over 10 minutes without being greeted when the young lady finally came to take our order. The first thing she told us is it's gonna be a 35 minute wait we agreed to wait and I started to place a order. She then tells me there is no chicken strips or boneless chicken wings so I ordered the six piece wing with seasoned fries my husband ordered the hot sausage with seasoned fries and a punch. We wait for 35 minutes. She then call us up to get the food my wings were cold, the fries were unseasoned. the price of a six piece wing combo and the hot sausage combo was $35. The prices were ridiculous. The portions were small. the wings were tiny and cold and fries and wings are just something you could get out of the frozen foods section at any grocery store. This place was very disappointing
