    This is a great little place to eat. I've eaten here several times while visiting family in the area, and it's always a very welcoming environment. The staff are very kind, and the food is good.

    "Can't go to mom's, come to Dad's". This is just the type of meals and ambiance you should expect upon entering the unmarked parking area and walking into the dining area of picnic tables. On most days you will find friends and family huddled over a pile of crawfish and laughing over a cold beer. Needless to say the poboys are good and the crawfish are better. A little know fact about Dad's: THE SERVE BREAKFAST!! I proclaim this fact because many assume only one business in the 15-mile radius does so. The only negative I experience was the single hot sausage patty in my PoBoy while the other sandwiches are overflowing.

    Best place I've eaten this trip! Best Po' Boy for sure! Quintessential Louisiana dining experience. Down home cooking with nice and friendly people. Waitress even taught us how to eat the crawfish properly! Inexpensive and great value. Would recommend to any friends or family traveling out to née Orleans or Louisiana in general.

    Can't eat anymore ,NEED A BOX PLEASE! LOL

    The people are great, the food is too. Come with a big appetite, the seafood platter is awesome. The cheese burger and sweetpatao frys are great also. looking forward to going back soon.

    Dads is danktasticly delicious. We came here twice in three days because the first experience truly necessitated an encore! But we needed a day to digest all the food!!!Crawfish and softshell crab. Fried fish and friendly locals. We caught a bunch of redfish and the ladies here fried em up. Best meal ever!

    See all

    No bells and whistles. Just good crawfish, fried pickles, and onion rings. I'd come back.

    Venice, despite its proximity to ample fresh seafood sources, has deplorable food options.

    Where do I begin?…read more.. Not a fancy place by any means. BUT!! There are a few rules...for instance, ladies no showing off that thong and men no saggy pants!! How do we know this? Well the posted sign says so! And don't even think about bringing someone into the bathroom with you or pissing the the sink or the trash can! (there is a sign for that too). If your worried about your literacy skills being able to handle all this reading don't fret!!!...the reading stops there cause there are no menus. The proprietor (and woman who seems to be the caretaker in this small town of fisherman and roughnecks) is Ms. Rose. She will gladly tell you what she has available to make. We were lucky enough to be offered the shrimp and catfish, which ended up being redfish. But no worries! We are pretty sure Ms Rose just put the fries, shrimp and redfish on the plate and lowered it into the deep fryer. I must say in all honesty, it was all very lightly battered and not greasy really at all. It was evident that the seafood was fresh...well at least until we were told about the bone in redfish and crawfish that was being offered to the locals walking in. It must have been evident that we were from out of town. I don't blame Ms. Rose for wanting to give us something she knew we would like though. PS Apparently ribs and ale means seafood and Budweiser...unless the ribs and ale are also being saved for the locals... PPS please call first to see if they are open...Ms. Rose loves that.
