It tasted like it was cooked day before yesterday and has been sitting under a heat lamp since then. Disgusting. The fish was edible. It wasn't good, but at least I was able to eat it.

I had a very disappointing experience at Chester's Chicken inside Love's Travel Stop in Monroe,…read moreLouisiana (Store #806). The employees were extremely unprofessional. While I was waiting for my food, I watched staff repeatedly walk back and forth between different work areas without washing their hands. Watching people handle food without following basic hygiene practices was honestly disgusting and made me lose confidence in the cleanliness of the restaurant. What upset me the most was that a fresh batch of chicken was coming out of the fryer, and instead of serving it to the customers who were waiting, the employees openly said the chicken was "for the workers" and that customers couldn't have it because they were saving it for themselves. As a paying customer, that made absolutely no sense. Customers should always come first, especially when they're the ones paying for fresh food. The lack of professionalism, poor customer service, and apparent disregard for food safety were unacceptable. I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I hope management reviews the cameras, addresses these issues with the staff, and makes sure employees understand that customers should never be treated this way. I won't be returning to this location unless significant changes are made.

The first time we dined here was in 2017, maybe, during which time the server slung our children's food across the table while setting it down-- french fries can roll off a plate with gusto! It was when the server placed the food back on the plate for the kids to eat as if we didn't all see what had just happened that put us off to coming back here. Fast forward to June 2026, it's a Saturday evening and the place my husband and I wanted to go was packed. We decided to give The Fat Pelican another try. When we walked in, there were only three tables occupied. As we stood there waiting for any signs of life from someone employed by this place, we could feel the stares from a particular table, as if trying to warn us to leave while we still could. But hindsight is always 20/20. A sweaty man emerged from the kitchen and told us we could have a seat wherever we liked. As we looked over the menu, I noted the shrimp plates all indicated (imported), which is pretty odd, being close enough to the gulf, and because our booth was right next to a poster celebrating some Louisiana Shrimp festival. I ordered unsweetened tea, which was more watery than tea, and patiently requested a soda instead, which he forgot about. One of the original 3 tables energetically waived sweaty man down, asking for their check so they could leave. Another quickly followed suit. The third table may have been playing mahjong-- they were clearly content in being out and visiting their friends. When it was our turn for what may have finally been the undivided attention of the server, we ordered. My husband ordered a steak. "We're out of steak"........ I ordered while he reconsidered the menu, really wanting to just abort the whole mission. There is a $1.50 up-charge for the loaded baked potato, which would have not been a big deal, but my husband's "loaded baked potato" was dry. We didn't bother to hunt the sweaty man down to ask for more butter, because we were both pretty frustrated. Because we were looking forward to a place that included dessert with their meal, we absolutely ordered the chocolate fudge cake. Look-- no shade on Duncan Hines or their brownies, but that is clearly what we each paid $8.99 for. You could literally taste the Duncan Hines, which was topped with ice cream and some confusing blue berries. It was a relief to pay out and leave, especially since the indie hits playlist had started its second loop. If you're still reading and wondering.. no one else came in to dine while we were there. There won't be a third time.

It is sit yourself, was very clean, and the waitress are very nice and attentive. I ordered the 10pc bone in lunch special, it came with 10 wings and fries for $10. The wing flavors were amazing, but the consistency in how my wings were prepared or how long ago they were prepared was not. Some of my wings were hot and juicy and some of them were dry and hard to the point that they were not enjoyable. I wasn't really a fan of the fries, they're huge and breaded and I didn't really taste any seasoning.
