W.o.r.s.t scallops EVER. Broiled scallops were rubber and flavorless. All I wanted was scallops. Dang. Server was nice, and should probably go somewhere where the food can match her potential for customer service. Salads had brown edges on the lettuce as well. Oh well, wife and I wanted to try this place at least once. Now we know. Next.... read more

Cypress Restaurant and Bar - Broiled scallops entree - American Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

We wanted to try this restaurant because our friends were in from out of town in Slidell and we wanted to try Christmas drinks! We were NOT disappointed! This restaurant has mixed reviews but we found it wonderful! The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas! We started off with 3 Happy Hour Appetizers which were all good but our favorite was the spinach dip with pasta bow ties chips! So yummy! I couldn't decide which drink to start with when one of the bartenders said she had just created a Mardi Gras "New Fashioned" and made it a Christmas drink with icing and sprinkles. Wow!!!! It was delicious! I went on to have the Christmas Cookie martini which was also delicious and a Grinch Mimosa which was good as well. My friends got the Christmas margarita, the Crème brûlée margarita, eggnog martini and cinnamon White Russian. All were amazing! We actually like all of the drinks better than the ones we had at 2 Holiday pop ups! For entrees we had the Cypress burger which was cooked on point, juicy and flavorful along with cups of gumbo and a salad. All of the food was really good. We had a bonus of being there on Trivia night and had so much fun! The staff along with some of the regulars were extremely friendly and helpful. We all agreed we would be back. read more

Well the place was empty RED FLAG Had to wait to be seated RED FLAG Oder Cajun Pastalaya no problem! Waitress comes back says they can no do it!!! RED FLAG Wife ordered Seafood Platter and side salad the Thousand Island dressing tasted spoiled sent back... RED FLAG I Did the Seafood Scampi.... Scampi gets a 10 out of 10 !!!! Wife seafood platter was over cooked and they forgot her fries... We couldn't find waitress for that Red Flag The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce from a jar... RED FLAG HER STUFFED CRAB OVER COOKED RED FLAG Oysters tasted burnt look at pictures see the different color on stuffed crab and oysters and shrimp all different colors all over cooked but shrimp and scallops and hush puppies were good!! Crab Dip and bow tie pasta was spot on..... for the appetizer... This is our 3rd meal from here but sad to say it will be the last! When we were done couldn't find our server because it look like Happy Hour at the bar... EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY THE EMPLOYEES! SEE PICTURE! GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEATED THEIR! When I went to bar to find our server they could see I was not a Happy Camper!!! But the manager never came to my table to address any issues are to ask about our food! So if management can't take the time to see a customer that is plainly upset; I will not go back!!! PICTURES SPEAK BETTER THAN MY GRAMMAR ever can! So I Hope this helps the restaurant get better!!!! I don't mind paying for good food but please have some type of quality control! read more

Visited Cypress Restaurant and Bar for lunch with coworkers in Slidell, LA. It offers a delightful dining experience with its chargrilled oysters that are a must-try for seafood enthusiasts. I  personally recommend the chargrilled oysters for their perfect char and succulent taste. The restaurant itself provides a cozy atmosphere that's ideal for a casual meal with friends or family. While the menu features a range of options, the chargrilled oysters was one of the specials for the day so I just had to try them. Our server, Mallory, was great, she was friendly and attentive. The food did not take long either. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a place worth visiting.rite34.

Slidell Seafood Spot * Local Slidell spot right off Gause and Military. BIG menu selections so you are bound to find something you enjoy. This is my second time and not my last. Our waitress was very sweet in helping my mom and friends decide what to pick. Answered all of our questions and we had a lot haha! This was also my first time trying Flounder and VERY good! The way they crosscut the meat, made it very easy to come off. Just watch for little small bones around the edges. We also got the muffaletta and fried shrimp platter. Both were big portions and the shrimp were large. Overall great place, lots of fried options but you can also choose grilled and blackened if you wish. Definitely give it a try when you are in town! read more

Just tried to post a review that was so long it would not take it I guess. Probably a good thing bc it was brutal. Synopsis: staff hangs out at the bar. Clueless waitresses Subpar food Place always empty Went twice so a third time would be foolish read more

Most of the food was cold, including the chicken on top of the Alfredo. The restaurant was mostly empty and yet our server kept getting orders mixed up. The pasta was overcooked and the charboiled oysters were inconsistent. Some burnt and some partially raw. The restaurant was also quiet, it desperately needed some music to break the silence. read more

Ally was awesome!! great service!! 10/10 experience!! give her a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live in neighborhood next to Cypress & heard all the bad reviews from local people plus read them on here. Gave it a chance anyway. I def wouldn't spend money here again. Nice atmosphere/layout inside and quaint and quirky local themed decor that had so much potential wasted on less than mediocre food, cocktails & cleaning. Need a professional to come in and revaluate to fix things for owner maybe. Servers were sweet but young & unfamiliar with the menu. Pulled pork mac n cheese special of the day sounded good but wasn't & had a few tomatoes chopped in it to simulate pepper jack instead of just peppers? Idk. The theme & concept has potential but recipes need serious revisiting. Charbroiled Oysters which usually smell heavenly everywhere else smelled rancid here. Cocktails are juvenile. Portion size & accommodations do not reflect high prices at all. Hard to discern with kitchen & servers if certain diets or allergies could be accommodated. Also, do not appreciate an uncensored music station being played with multiple curse & inappropriate words if it's supposed to cater to the whole family. Strawberey cheesecake " Bread Pudding" made from dessert scraps. Very thin and VERY dry with no rum sauce or anything. Served with sugar water diced strawberries. I ordered to be on side. Didn't taste bad but very skimpy for price considering it's literally made from leftovers & not exactly what I imagine bread pudding to be at all maybe rename it. "Mac n Cheese" ... pulled pork one. Special of the day. With some raw diced tomatoes & canned jalapeños. Do not recommend it. Would not recommend the mac plain without pork or tomatoes/peppers either. Was told they only serve crawfish mac n cheese. Can't do it without crawfish. But here we are. Making a deconstructed looking & tasting mac n cheese without crawfish. read more

great service, food was amazing, wonderful atmosphere will definitely be coming back.

I went with friends to eat there. It was the worst food I have ever gotten in a restaurant. You never go back.

We visited your restaurant Friday night 8/8/2025 and it was absolutely awful my daughter had shrimp and grits which was horrible my granddaughter had shrimp Alfredo it had no Alfredo sauce at all (we sent it back we ordered 3 sweet teas we had to send back because they were soured read more

We went for a birthday lunch with 9 people. The food was very good The waitress looked like she didn't want to be there. Some of the food for our group and some didn't get thetheir food. Fifteen minutes went by with no communication. When I got up to find out what was going on I couldn't find the waitress. I asked to speak to the manager. When she finally came to speak to me she was rude. When I explained the situation she said she didn't believe me. Then she told me I could leave when I told her as a customer I was dissatisfied. Unfortunately for the owner, I will never bring another group to this restaurant. I do about 15 lunches a year with 10-20 people at each lunch. There are many lovely restaurants in the area. We will chose another the next time read more

Sat at the bar and the bartender made me want to vomit. Dancing around sexually and reaching up as to show everyone his belly. Honestly it was totally appetite killing. read more

The boudin egg rolls, fried catfish and blackened catfish were really good. Kaitlyn A. was awesome and made great recommendations.

First time visiting. Hubs & I went for lunch. Had the crabcake poppers, they were awesome. Also the crawfish au gratin, also yummy. Hubs had frog legs, he said they were kinda bland. Our waitress was friendly, and big smile. Food came out hot and timely. The atmosphere had a bayou feel, very nice. We will be back. Moderately priced. read more

Delicious food! Wonderful staff (even when they were being yelled at and berated by a crazy lady who was looking and acting like a fool). This customer was yelling and used her hands to try to silence anyone who tried to help INCLUDING the owner! The entire restaurant saw and heard her. Her sense of entitlement was high and calling her a "Karen" would be an insult to Karen's lol. If I was one of the employees (or owner) being yelled at like this, she would NOT have been happy about the outcome (not like she was happy to begin with). I was embarrassed for the people that she came in with. Gumbo was top notch, our entire table LOVED it along with the rest of our food and drinks. Highly recommended from a very picky eater. read more

Very pleasing atmosphere. Great music & very friendly professional staff. Received service right away. Great variety on the menu, I had my heart set on flounder but they were out. I'll get in next time. Highly recommend. read more

Our third time here , was very disappointed this time and not impressed . Appetizer was not cooked stuffed mushrooms( mushrooms were raw) cold. Service was okay. Entrees so the shrimp scampi came out very fast. And the catfish poboy 20 minutes later. After I watched Molly walk out the kitchen with the sandwich and walked somewhere else with it. Only to bring it out again with the burnt sweet potato waffle fries. Sorry but was not impressed with the food . read more

Some of the best food in Slidell. Everything I've had has been good and the service has been great every time.

Stopped in and had lunch got a shrimp Poboy and appetizer. Was ok atmosphere. Service good .

The food is amazing, the service is phenomenal and the ambiance is so inviting. I recommend the catfish platter with the onion rings and jalapeño hush puppies. The crab dip was sooo good read more

Visited twice. Food was great both times but the service was awful both times. The server said the kitchen could get the food out.

great staff, great food, and love their atmosphere. top notch staff and ownership that truly cares.

Went first time about a month after opening and ordered Shrimp Scampi. Bland and lacked seasoning. Disappointed. After hearing some positive reviews on Facebook a few months later, I decided to take my wife there last night for dinner. Ordered the Boudin Eggrolls for appetizer and they were good. Salads arrived and was basically only wilted lettuce and croutons. Visibly brown-edged lettuce - the kind that would go in my garbage can at home. No other ingredients. Not good. Then the entrees arrived. My grilled Red Snapper was extremely bland and raw on inside. Most likely frozen fish. Could only eat the edges of the filet. Green bean side was basically bland canned green beans. My wife's entree was Pastalaya advertised as including Large Gulf Shrimp. Not a shrimp to be found. Plus it was bland as well. Showed server raw fish. She went to kitchen and came back saying the owner "apologized". Did not take it off the bill. Will not be returning and will advise friends and family not to either. read more
