I ordered the grilled shrimp platter, and it says something when the bagged salad was the best thing I ate. The shrimp were cold and way too overseasoned/salty and the fries were cold and bland.

As Ashley B stated "small town family feel"…read more This perfectly sums up Dad's Bar & Grill - a local seafood shack. We were heading to the Southern most point on the Gulf and stopped herefor lunch. It's a small space but what it lacks in space it makes up for in personality. I could tell that this was a well loved spot as we got some tourist "looks' when we entered (I guess they could tell we were not regulars :)). That was even before our "east coast accents" gave us away. The menu is not vast but if you are coming here - the thing to order is seafood. I mean it's a no brainer! The food is not fancy but good and exactly what I needed. As you can tell the shrimp were HUGE and the onion ring were homemade - what more can a girl ask for! They do have specials but I only had eyes for the shrimp patter. There not many restaurants in the area so if you are hungry and have a hankering for seafood - check this place out.

My fiancee and I were on a trip to Grand Isle on Christmas Day since everything was closed in the…read moreBig Easy and we expected to find at least ONE restaurant to be opened. We had no idea how right we were. The island was almost empty and the only people we encountered were state troopers sitting on the side waiting for some speeders. Further down into the island we had almost given up on the idea to have a "real" shrimp meal and turned around. Since it was time for a "natural" break we stopped at several places but they were all closed - except for one. When we drove on the parking lot a lady came out waving at us and asking us to come in. It was in fact the ONLY place that was opened selling beverages on Christmas Day. However, food was provided for free by the residents that came together to celebrate Christmas and they invited us to join them for their Christmas meal. We had ham and turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing among many other things. What a great experience. Everyone was so friendly and kind that even the 90 minute trip to and from N'awlins was worth every minute. Thank you!

We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area...

How to make this place the best experience: 1)lower your…read morerich ass, egocentric standards. 2) go to the bar, get yourself a beer all by your big boy self 3) pick a seat, anywhere of your choosing, and enjoy the view until a waitress greets you. If you do these three things, this place is awesome and food is delicious! This place can get packed and it's first come first serve. If you're in a rush don't come here. Grab some chips from the store and leave, waitress's aren't lazy, they're busy helping everyone. Also, they did still get the order wrong though, we ordered a blackened and a fried fish sandwich and they both came back fried. Not the biggest deal but like also, I saw you write our order down so WTF . So I guess tip #4 would be know they'll take your order, throw it in the trash, and you'll get what they give you. Upside: didn't think I wanted pickles on my sandwich but turns out it was great with it, they forced me to try something new. How sweet.

Great location. The restaurant is awesome and you can have them prepare the fish you just caught.read more

Key deserves a huge shout out for being such a sweet and attentive server. I liked her tremendously. We had the boudin egg rolls and the Swamp Tour Sampler: jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, gumbo, and red beans and rice. For dessert, we had bread pudding with beignets. The Boudin egg rolls were the best thing I ate on my entire trip. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy, every bite was heaven. The jambalaya was the best jambalaya I had on my trip as well. It had a fantastic smokiness and was not wet at all. I also loved the crawfish étouffée. It was creamy and loaded. The red beans and rice had a bit of a sweet edge that was not quite my taste. Try for yourself. The bread pudding was the perfect sendoff. Bite-size beignets were nestled in the bread pudding. It was a sweet, creamy, perfectly Mississippi dessert. I loved Parrain's so much that I bought a T-shirt. I generally don't like wearing clothes that serve as advertisements, but this place just has to be advertised all around the country. Key, thanks for a great lunch! If you're ever in Biloxi, Mississippi, you must go and try this little gem.

The negatives, everything else aside from the mashed potatoes was cold like it had come out the refrigerator even under the heat lamps and everything was flavorless. Not a single employee gave a care and the food's temperature had to have been a health violation with not being held at least warm. We arrived at around 6:15 and the place closes at 8. One employee decided she wanted to vacuum the dining room shortly after we sat and was hitting our feet as she was trying to get under our table. She didn't care and seemed to just wanna get it done. Hard to enjoy cold flavorless food when the loud vacuum is hitting you. Don't waste your money.

However our family walked in with no pre order and was treated with the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE and the Hot Boiled Crawfish were a little pricey but DELICIOUS and well worth the price.

Once we pulled up to an empty parking lot during lunchtime, we questioned how it had 4 stars. Boutte's Bayou is located towards the back of a river barge. It has a riverish diner feel inside, with maximum river bayou decor. The kitchen is hidden away in the middle by a curtain or sheet; we couldn't tell. There was only one person working, taking orders, and cooking food. The menus are handwritten; each is a little different, but as of the date, the same menu as the Yelp photos. None of the food was fresh, all fried on site behind the curtained kitchen. It also all tasted like something we could buy from Costco or Sam's Club and fry ourselves. Drinks were provided via pop/soda cans. Plastic wear is provided for eating via a large bin on the table. The Cook/Server/checkout person running our credit card for payment had an issue; there was no wifi, then Wi-Fi, some system error, some square event, then some Venmo issue... this felt very sketchy, with the number of times the cards were scanned, and then the owner was called, who asked for the card over the phone. It was a very weird experience. We ended up paying in what little cash we did have.
