Let me start off by saying I LOVE chicken cracklings. Being from Mississippi, we don't really have…read morespots that sell them fresh like Louisiana does. So whenever I'm passing through, stopping at Billy's Boudin & Cracklin or Randall's Cajun Foods is a must for me. I went to Randall's today. About 5 months ago, I stopped in and the cracklings had clearly been sitting for a while, they were tough. I explained my concern and even offered to pay extra just to have a fresh batch cooked. After going back and forth, they finally made them fresh, and they were exactly what I wanted. Fast forward to today, I called ahead and specifically asked for fresh cracklings. The young man on the phone said okay, no problem. I walk in 5 minutes later and there's already a bag waiting. I asked where they came from and she told me they were cooked that morning. That was an immediate no for me. If I'm spending $21 for a pound, I don't want tough, sitting all day cracklings. Go ahead and put those back. I ended up trying the boudin balls, big mistake. You could tell they had been sitting too. At that point, I didn't even have the energy to go back and forth or ask for a manager. Honestly, it should be a given. This picture is pepper jack boudin ball. Look how dry it is . Needless to say, I won't be back.

We ordered earlier this week a prime rib to serve 14 people that are due over for our family…read moreChristmas dinner. The order was to be ready today Dec 27th at 10:00 We just got a call at 9:01 and were notified that there is no meat! I want the public to know that this place is not one to order meats from! We now have 4 hours to come up with something for our family. Family members coming in from LA and Shreveport. You certainly can not depend on this place. Also last week we bought a chicken and dumpling casserole that was horrible! Only dark meet was used! Please do not confuse this company with Randall' Captain Averies on Ferrand. The company that gave the poor service is Randall's on Sterlington Road. This owners purchased this place two years are.

Food was great! Fish was so fresh. I had the gar and the swai fillet. It was cooked perfectly: not…read moreovercooked, nice and crispy with a flaky soft meat texture. I had it two days in a row: first time was a little salty, but second time was perfect. Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The owner had a great personality and definitely left a positive impression on my family and I. That's why we returned, plus the food was good. I don't eat catfish, and I wish there were more options like red snapper or gaspergou. I know catfish is king in Louisiana, so I was happy with the options of gar and swai, but I do wish there were other options. I will definitely return for more when I am back in town.

Lillian today was super nice and helpful when I needed help scanning some melatonin gummies when the tag was bent. The Deli's hot bar food is also really good. I often grab a fish plate during lunch and it is amazing. They also have really good mashed potato's and Mac and cheese. However, some of the attitudes (that seem to be pretty common amongst West Monroe) are less to be desired. I'm not perfect at customer service myself, but was upset when the pharmacy threw my prescription in front of me after I had asked for the correct one. They had also snapped that I need to "give them a second" and seemed pretty annoyed with me overall.

It's giving roadside fish shack vibes when it could be more. Serve on real plates, and silverware.

For the prices, these little changes could make this place better and more profitable.

Sat at the bar, good and friendly service. Everything that we ate was so delicious! Everything else looked so delicious! Corn & crab chowder ordered by Husband was loaded with crab, we couldn't stop marveling at it and I kept stealing spoonfuls. BLT wedge (minus the bacon) plus grilled shrimp was so good and filling. The blackened redfish was generous and yummy. Did I mention the side of Brussels sprouts (again without bacon but yum yum!) Back on the road in no time, feeling great. We will definitely return!

After I checked in I had breakfast here. So nice to have a warm meal while I saw the sleet outside. The staff were so accommodating! Shout out to Brook! And Mr. And Mrs Echols for being amazing owners and helping out their staff when they were short staffed. Christie was super welcoming and made me a delicious espresso. For dinner I indulged with their must try ribeye. It's very understandable they had a limited menu due to the weather and staff if they had their full menu I would have had a difficult time to decide what to have! The wine was fantastic and just the whole atmosphere warms the soul. And don't judge me I ate all 12oz of the wonderfully cooked ribeye. And the greens and mashed potatoes paired perfectly! The prefect thing to have after walking in the sleet. The whole aesthetic of the hotel and bar and restaurant blend so well. Love this boutique hotel and their restaurant. Prefect for a date night. For my second dinner. I had the blackened redfish with their rice stone grits , yes another indulgence! OMG! Another knock out of the park! Compliments to the chef! And of course the whole bar and front desk and restaurant team! Such an amazing experience! Even through this was an unplanned stopped due to weather. I'm so glad this place welcomed me with welcome arms and had such filling delicious food. Really like a beacon and an unexpected delightful stop. You turned a terrible circumstance to a culinary delight! I paired this delicious redfish with their salad. Chefs kiss! I wish they had the grits sold in their little store. I would totally buy those. Thank you for my fantastic meals! I hope to come back and share this place with my husband (in better weather.)
