    Enjoyed a nice laid back, comfortable ambiance at Don's Seafood - Covington on a Tuesday night. Ten dollars off on seafood platters, on Tuesdays, was a definite plus. Excellent service, as well.

    Sophia and I made our 2nd stop here the previous day before heading back to Virginia right before New Years. We made the trek after visiting my dad in my hometown. The previous time was 2 years ago when we had lunch with a friend of mine. Let's see how this one turned out. We were immediately greeted by the staff when we walked in and were seated promptly. It wasn't packed which was fine with us and everyone was busy taking orders or behind the bat. The decor inside was neat with Christmas decorations abound and spotless too. Definitely a nice vibe for customers alike. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, we were ready. I selected their fried catfish platter with onion rings and chargrilled corn for sides. Sauces included were tartar and their homemade Lafayette sauce. Everything was delicious. The catfish was seasoned perfectly and there was plenty of onion rings to go around. The corn was okay but not seasoned except for butter to spread. At the end of the meal, I was able to take a good amount home where it just as delicious. Don's truly came through this afternoon. Louisiana seafood at its finest. Hopefully we'll be back here next year when we're in town :)

    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!

    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

Then she told me that they just had a class on food allergies This is really exceptional that a restaurant is taking up their own initiative to learn about food allergies so that they can service their customers with better care While the food is definitely excellent with the capacity to offer different options for the different dietary needs that people have and the staff is educated, I just wish that they had better coffee at the Mandeville location like a cappuccino or a café latte Still an excellent choice

    The food is decent but the service could be a lot better in many areas. For those with food…read moreallergies, please triple check before ordering in or eating your food. We arrived on a Friday night without reservations and waited about 30-40 minutes for a table. First, we got a drink by the bar and stood around. Then when seats opened up at the bar, we sat there and ordered two appetizers. Before ordering, I asked one of the bartenders if something was gluten free and she came back with a sheet of paper labeled GLUTEN listing about 25-30 things that were gluten free such as dressings, jambalaya, and egg rolls (which we found out later they are NOT gluten free). I have a picture but I won't share it so that no one is deceived. A few minutes after ordering, we were buzzed that we had moved up the waiting list and to check in. My husband checked in and came to tell me to go to the hostess stand because they are ready to seat us. He went to let the bartender know to send our two appetizers to our table. When I got to the hostess stand, the hostess said that we already had been seated and to just walk upstairs. Even after I explained we had not gotten seated yet because my husband had just checked in, she instructed my party to simply head upstairs and just turn right. We walked upstairs and found a table we assumed we should sit ate. Then when my husband arrived, he went to look for menus because we didn't have any. Ava came by to greet us as our two appetizers of Sauteed Crab Claws and Boudin Egg Rolls arrived. Ava was really friendly and personable. I was so happy the sheet had indicated they are gluten free. I ate half an egg roll and started to suspect it was not gluten free. I flagged down Ava and asked and she said she was pretty sure they were not gluten free. Ava came back to apologize that the egg rolls had been changed and were no longer gluten free, and then are gave me an updated "2026 Gluten-Free Allergy Menu" with a subheader "All items listed are SAFE for you to eat." The egg rolls were no longer listed. For my entree, I ordered the Charbroiled Catfish served over spinach. It came with a salad and apparently a side. I thought my spinach was the side so I didn't ask about my side options and Ava didn't ask me what I wanted as a side. I had a side mixed green salad with no croutons. Surprisingly, everyone's side mixed green salad looked different when they arrived. Mine had croutons. Another had cheese on their mixed greens while another person was served iceberg lettuce. It was very strange. My catfish arrived with French Fries which are not gluten free. I flagged down another waitress who had checked in on us earlier to explain that I wasn't offered a side and that I couldn't eat the French Fries. I asked for cooked veggies and she brought me cauliflower. I thoroughly enjoyed my catfish and cauliflower. Others are the table had the Seafood Lasagna, Seafood Pasta, Charbroiled Oysters, and Crawfish Etouffee. Everyone liked their dishes. The portions are really big. The meal would've been much better if they were better trained on how to handle food allergies. And what the hostess did was not customer friendly at all. We learned from the second server that Ava was in training. Ava did a good job as she was really friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care. I don't think she understood what a gluten allergy was but she followed up when asked to check on the egg rolls.

    I've been to Chimes a lot, and recently went with an old friend (and a new one!). We sat outside…read moreand enjoyed the beautiful evening, along with some delicious appetizers and a burger that we all shared.

Even if you're not hungry, you should come get a beer and walk down to the little river; Louisiana can be magical with the right attitude.
