    Was on our way from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and spotted this spot and decided to try it and so glad we did. We didn't have reservations but was able to be sat right away around 1pm on a Saturday. Our server was very helpful, and offered suggestions since it was our first time. We actually took her recommendations which was the chicken and waffles. She was right, they were very good and I'm not a huge chicken and waffle fan. As I looked around I was watching the food others were ordering and honestly everything looked amazing. It is a very busy place, with tv's and people just having a good time. I good place to bring your family, or just come on a date night. Wish there was one in my city!

    Seafood Salad

    We just love this place for crawfish! The bar service is so fun. Our favorite bartenders are Gabby and Brittany. Donnie the GM is very friendly and always says hello to us when he sees us at the bar. The jacked up oysters are consistently great. My new favorite is the Seafood salad with lump crabmeat, shrimp and crawfish. So fresh and also very consistently great. My husband says the crawfish is the best in this area!

    JACKED UP SHRIMP

    Normally, I go to the Don's in Gonzales but this location was very nice! The food was very good as always! The service was amazing! My friend and I started off with the jackup shrimp and it was very cheesy and seasoned well. It had a little kick to it but it wasn't bad at all. I had the stuffed catfish and it was very good! Very flavorful! I also had a frozen strawberry margarita (my go to) and it was good as well. The green beans were also very good, they had a little sweet flavor to them. The garlic mash potatoes were good as well. The ambiance of this place was a little different compared to the one in Gonzales. The only thing I didn't like about this place is that it was very dark in the restaurant. Other than that everything was 10/10.

    Crawfish delicious

    Great bar. Great cocktails Zydeco tacos off the hook Crawfish boil delicious Crawfish bisque amazing Service fab One suggestion, get rid of that crappy margarine and give people real butter. Thank you.

    Fish tacos (the spicy ones)
    Julia C.

    It was our first time there and it was fabulous. Paige was our waitress and she took amazing care of us. I have a severe food allergy and she went to the kitchen to make certain that nothing of my food would go anywhere near what I'm allergic to. She also noticed when my husband's drink was empty and replaced it before my husband even had a chance to ask for anymore. She was extremely attentive! We had a shrimp appetizer that was amazing. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the blackened red fish along with some crawfish and he was so happy. The food was delicious, the restaurant was attractive and clean. All of the people were nice. We will go back

    I passed by Don's this weekend and made a note to come here for lunch. Unlike a lot of places they open at 10 am, W00H00! They have a brunch menu on weekends. I've always loved Don's but this is my first time at this location. I love the openness feeling walking into the dining room even though they have sectioned it off somewhat it still gives you a sense of spaciousness. I ordered the 1/2 Shrimp and 1/2 Étouffée (that's crawfish). It came with two small Hushpuppies as well. My meal was excellent, outstanding, superb; in other words it was really good eating. The shrimp tasted so good you don't dare doctor them up cocktail or tartar sauce. The Étouffée had plenty of ingredients making every spoonful delicious. I ordered the Cheesecake with Strawberry topping. Wow that first bite of the cheesecake was so creamy that I literally went, "Mmmm" out loud. The strawberries were fresh and real, not frozen or from a can; you can just tell, you know? Service was outstanding from the initial greet & seat and throughout the entire meal. No delays at any point and always available.

Lumora is…read morerelatively new and is by the same folks responsible for The District in Ponchatoula, which is one of our favs. Located on Highway 190, Lumora has a stylish, contemporary persona that is decidedly upscale, but still possesses a comfortable, laid-back vibe that is quite appealing. Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

We were a table of 7, ordered appetizers, and were brought the check immediately after--before anyone ever asked if we wanted entrees or dessert. It felt extremely rushed and unwelcoming. The servers were rude, inattentive, and made us feel like they just wanted us out of there. To make matters worse, we were overcharged, and my credit card was run before I was even shown the final bill, which is completely unacceptable. Great food, but the service needs serious improvement. Sadly, that alone would keep me from returning. Disappointed coming from southshore for Christmas dinner.. owner of this restaurant, really needs to get with his staff!

    My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.

It put me in the frame of mind of Key West. There is even a little sandlot for kiddos. The workers were friendly and efficient. The prices were not bad. The whole area is covered, shaded on those hot summer nights. We ordered food and in order-to-order drinks, you have to order them from the bar area on the opposite end of the bar. We got tacos and burgers. The drink was a watermelon cocktail. Everything was just mediocre unfortunately. I didn't think the tacos had good flavor, no wow factor. The drink was a bit watered down and the burger was just Ok, sort of bland, too. I think of all the places we tried while visiting the Northshore area, this may have been our least favorite. But it does have ambience going for it. It just needs better flavors in their food.

We gave ourselves an hour and a half, enough time to eat and get to our next planned and scheduled event that day. So, we weren't in a rush. We get in the quickly moving line to order our food at the counter. I order a salmon bagel and the hubs ordered a meatball ciabatta. We sit down and I noticed it is a very busy place. It is a very large place and I noticed how clean everything was and how efficient all the workers were at getting the food out. One after the other, food was coming out like an assembly line and the food looked good, too. But the assembly line apparently stopped, no orders were coming out, and we waited about 20 or 25 minutes. At least we had our drinks because it is a counter service type establishment. We noticed stacks and stacks of 'to go' orders were being placed in the counter area. After nearly 35 or 40 minutes we get our food. Some guy had ordered a 'football teams' worth amount of food. So, although it was not the restaurant's fault, it was frustrating the timing that our order was f course put in right after the guy that ordered 20 dishes. I get my bagel to try to eat quickly, since now we are in a little bit of a rush. And the bagel couldn't have been more complicated to eat. I just wanted a complete lox bagel but it was a deconstructed bagel where I had to put the thing together. I would have enjoyed the meal a little better had my bagel been properly served, like for example, the way Flour Moon serves their bagels to customers. I don't know if we will be back because I rarely visit the Northshore, this was a special occasion. I guess if I do come back, I would like to try one or two of the desserts from the case. Those looked really good.
