We happened into Backstreet Lounge last night on the recommendation of one of our neighbors, who…read moreenjoys going there for live music. It wasn't crowded at all, but this *was* the night before Thanksgiving, so that made sense. That said, there was a decent group of regulars that seemed to love the place. And we can see why. As the other reviewer mentioned, this bar caters to an older crowd (baby boomers with a sprinkling of Gen X), which isn't to say that younger people wouldn't be welcomed ... but the shenanigans that sometimes comes with being younger would be out of place here. Don, Jared and the Konspiracy was the band last night, and they did a fine job of playing classic rock standards that kept the dance floor busy. The food at the back (jambalaya) was a really nice touch, and the bartender did a wonderful job of keeping everyone topped up with good cheer. We're glad to have discovered this locals hangout and we'll definitely be back.

My favorite "hole in the wall"…read more I'm someone who loves good music and good people. Both can always be found at backstreet! As a former bartender, I am not a fan of college crowd bars or bars where the owner is wasted and causing drama. Im not a fan of drama, period. I like an older crowd that you can have fun with, drink with, dance with, etc. The owner is awesome, as are the regulars. When the dancing gets going, they salt the floor! Cap'n & Gayle do karaoke on Friday nights and it's the absolute best in town!!! if you're into karaoke you have to check it out! Not to mention, Friday nights, band nights, game nights and special events they have food cooked. I know you're thinking "yea, ok bar food". No. I'm talking home-cooked crock-pot food. I will bet that the chicken & dumplings are the best 99.9% of people that try them have EVER had. For LSU football they've got a projector screen and the game going on loud. Commercial breaks they put on 98.1 or the fight song, etc. Definitely my favorite place to watch the game. Long review but there's so much greatness about this place I know I'm forgetting to mention a million things. Bartenders are wonderful (especially Leslie!) bands are great, karaoke is great, drinks are great! Food is phenomenal as are the people you'll meet!

They have pool tables and darts and karaoke nights every week. Nothing fancy here, but we always enjoy ourselves. They have a decent selection of local brews on tap. The usual bottled beers are priced nicely. The frozen daiquiris are potent, reasonably priced, and they offer some original unique flavors. The greatest appeal for us is the food. Wow! The menu is long so we still haven't had a chance to try everything. They offer some creative and local items in addition to the usual "bar food" - burgers, sandwiches, wings, etc. Even on that stuff, the quality is first-rate. Try the Sea Dog or the Twisted Gator Fries or the wings. The fried mushrooms are not so great, but the fried green beans are very good. They scale back to a limited menu late at night so not everything is available all the time. The bartenders and staff are friendly. They do not have servers doing table service. Instead, you order at the bar and they bring your food out to you. It works just fine when they are quiet, but on a loud karaoke night you might wind up shouting your order across to the bartender. They are good with daiquiri questions and will give you a little taste of the frozen stuff to help you decide which flavor you want. Even on busy nights the food comes out quickly. Highly recommended. "I need to come in here more!!"

Bread was dry, and it wasn't dressed like it used to be. They replaced their ridiculously awesome hush puppies on the side with some frozen fries. Prices went up too. My foot long Oyster po was $24.99. I'll attach some pictures of the new menu.

The food here is way better than I expected it to be for bar food, the drinks are great and when there's not a live band there's always good music to keep the place going. The open air construction allows good breezes off the water, and there's a rooftop patio for those who want to get some sun and better views of the water. I love this place.

After a stop in Pass Manchac looking for outside dining but finding a jammed inside-only restaurant…read morewith no masks, we headed up US 51 into Ponchatoula to look for an alternative. J Rucker's was listed as open, but when we arrived no one was there and it was marked closed. When we called, we were told "yes, we are open" but no one appeared in front. Finally just as we were about to drive off, someone came running across the parking lot. "We are open, and you can sit outside." After that little bit our time confusion (to the restaurant's credit, we were looking for a place around 4:30 in the afternoon and some listings showed a 5 pm opening, while others implied open from lunch to dinner. No big deal), we got seated and offered menus. "Fried ribs" jumped out immediately as (1) unhealthy in many ways (2) unique and (3) of course, something we have to try once. We put in an order for that, along with fried shrimp and stewed chicken. Unfortunately a few minutes later the kitchen informed our server that fried ribs would not be offered that evening. I changed to stewed chicken. For starters, the fried broccoli and boudain balls were hot, fresh, not greasy, and served with a house dipping sauce that had a bit of kick. The stewed chicken arrived in the dense gravy on rice, tasty but beware also on the salty side (this bothered some other diners in my party more than me). The fried shrimp actually might have been the best thing on the table: hot, crispy, with almost like a tempura texture served on a bed of thin-sliced french fries. We were stuffed and facing a ride back to the south shore, so no dessert..."but tell us what you have, anyway." One of the options was "Bananas Foster ice cream." Uh oh, looks like we ARE having dessert. Highly recommended, with a strong banana flavor and actually frozen bits of ripe banana in there. (Some may not like that texture, but didn't bother me one bit). Chicken and waffles are one of the options for entree, as is an ice cream and waffle dessert that looked good as it went out to another table.
