I used Yelp to select this restaurant for lunch. I came in an 4 employees were sitting around in…read moretheir phones. I was told to seat myself. After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo

The servers are quite young, but they know the menu, and serve with a smile. I got a fried shrimp poboy and crawfish stingers. Both of these were delicious, if not a bit salty for my tastes. If you are in the Tioga area, do yourself a favor and stop in for some delicious seafood and the slaw bar.

The catfish covered in real crab au gratin was definitely a repeat. Wasn't sure it was gonna work but it did so well. Great taste blend. The steak fries need help. They can do better. The onion rings were stellar. The fried shrimp were also exemplary. The etoufee was having an off day. Decor is rustic and dated but alas this was an overall big win. Way better than local competitors. I'll be back

Without exaggeration, it was the best we have ever had. The fried fish was clean, spiced to perfection, and cooked flaky white. Next time, we had fried shrimp. PERFECT. Then we ventured into more of the specialties. Crawfish etouffee. Again it was great. The restaurant was decorated with homemade seafood species that were original and interesting. The owner had time to make conversation and kept us laughing telling us stories that can only come from somebody who lived the fisherman life, knows how to cook it well and that runs a good restaurant and not a restaurant owner who just sells the food. Try something local that you will not find anywhere else. You will be happy you did.

I heard about this place when my brother and husband cycled through the town of Simmesport,…read moreLouisiana. Ray and Deborah are genuinely good people. Service and conversation was excellent. Food: Ray's Fish Special consisted of fried catfish topped with crawfish etouffe, green beans, fry bread, fried shrimp and a choice of French fries or a baked potato. The etouffe had plenty of crawfish and the spices and flavor were on point. The catfish was coated in what I think is cornmeal, giving it a flavorful crunch. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's passing through or visiting!

From IH10, take "Jennngs" or Estherwood Exits, follow old US90 to C'est BON. Plenty off street parking, plus truck/trailer lot across the highway. One major CAVEAT: If you want the plate lunch "special", go EARLY ! They do run-out regularly. Some items can be very spicy; if this is an issue for you, ask up-front. We just love this place !

There should be a waiting list of some sort to eliminate the space and people feeling rushed. We are here every weekend but after tonight we won't be back to dine in. No other restaurant allows people to walk around looking for an empty table. The ones waiting gawk and stare and you can hear their comments if people are not eating fast enough. The drive thru is so busy the cars wrap around the building making it difficult to get out. We looked forward to dining here every weekend but for the last several months it has gotten worse to where we don't finish our food and have to take it home because of the buzzards flying around waiting for tables.

So I've been here before but I didn't get to enjoy it, so after a few years I found myself with…read moresome free time to drive back out here and truly have company I could enjoy with. I'll start with the cons bc it's not that much- the line for seafood can get long bc of how the buffet is set up. If the ppl in front move along you can get through fast. If not you'll have a wait. Due to the location of the door and the hot food side a couple of flies might be trying to find their way in the door to get to a couple of the goods. Pros- seafood was plentiful and good. Crawfish could have used a little more spice but not bad at all. Snow crab were great. They also have Jonah crab but I don't eat those. Full seafood buffet on Saturday and if you don't want to wait too long, get there an hour before and join the waitlist on their website. Worth a drive down. Price wise for 2 with drinks cost 100 bucks so be prepared if bringing a large party. Can order off the menu as well.
