If you know good crawfish, you'll appreciate what they're doing here…read more If you're in the mood for boiled crawfish, this is the place. I've been eating crawfish for as far back as I can remember, and these folks clearly know what they're doing. The menu is limited, but honestly that's part of the charm because what they do, they do right. Finding the place is part of the adventure. The road in is dark and a little strange the first time you drive it, and you might even wonder if your GPS has lost its mind... but keep going. It's absolutely worth the find. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the owner, Ben Christmas, was especially sweet. It's one of those rustic, no-frills spots where the crawfish are the star and the people are just as good as the food

They loaded the sacks in my truck before telling me they only accept cash. They actually trusted me to run to the ATM to get some cash with the $250 worth of crawfish!! They were perfect size and very clean as well. Give this place your business!

And the drive in style was perfect for us as we were 5 hours into a 17 hour drive with a U-haul trailer. We were able to stretch our legs and seriously eat the perfect meal. You can clearly tell someone puts passion into their food here. Even the California roll was perfection. We plan to come back as fast as humanly possible. Do not miss out on this place!

The ordering process was super easy, and the guy on the phone was really friendly. It was somewhat difficult to find because I was looking for a traditional brick and mortar restaurant., but it was a drive-in like Sonic. Now I've really seen it all. Out of the three rolls, two were absolutely fantastic. The third roll wasn't bad, it just wasn't really my style. But overall, I had a great experience and would definitely give this place another shot next time I'm in the area. If you're a sushi lover, it's worth a visit.

He asked how was my supper and I told him. I said something I shouldn't have under my breath which I immediately apologized for. (Fking ah0les) And left. He came running outside to act like a big man and when that wouldn't work he called the pope. Police said have nice evening. And I again tried to leave, after making the little guy turn loose of my car door. Kinda like a chihuahua. The steak was over cooked and served with fries instead of tha loaded baked tater I ordered. They also said there was some kind of glaze on the steak which no decent steak needs, only used on cheap steaks to fool the public. Same attitude is probably why his pawn shop went out of business. Pawn broker selling steaks? Now there's a concept for quality dining! Make sure to check their healthcode violations.

Each trip, I somehow end up…read moreback at Common Goods each trip, but I've also been making a point to explore someplace new. Raw had been on my list for a while, and now I'm annoyed with myself for waiting this long. First, the aesthetic is almost therapeutic. Simple, calm, clean, industrial-modern. It feels intentional without feeling cold. Second, ordering is incredibly easy. The staff is attentive, but you order through a QR code and pay on your phone, so the whole experience moves at your pace. Then there's the food. The dishes are beautiful, the sashimi is fresh, and the rolls are creative without trying too hard and over doing the sauces. We started with the crab salad, which was a delicious take on a classic, along with tuna sashimi. Then we ordered two rolls, ate far more than we planned, and left happy and full. Raw is one of those places that makes you rethink what you expect to find in a smaller Northern Louisiana town. If you're in Ruston, put it on your list. I just wish I had done it sooner.

This restaurant changed locations a couple of years ago but I am glad that I was able to find it because I had a great experience. A simple, modern sophisticated sushi experience in Ruston, LA that I would compare favorably to larger cities like Los Angeles and NYC! Bring your smartphone to use their ordering via "Toast". They had clean, minimalist decor with a bar and a few tables so consider using the website for reservations. The staff were very friendly and I spoke with the owners about their history and philosophy. Currently they have a straightforward simple menu of sushi... that's it... that's what was there for! I started with a salmon crudo with a bit of peppery flavor and the sashimi. The steak roll and the garlic tuna rolls were fantastic! The garlic and heat from the Serrano pepper on the garlic tuna were, as the sushi chef said "bold strong flavors!" I was pretty filled from this meal. I highly recommend this spot. Be prepared that this establishment uses an online, credit card only ordering system with your smartphone. I think they add a gratuity charge as well. A bit more $$ compared to some other local sushi but the quality and the service of this sushi restaurant are worth it if you want a premium sushi experience that otherwise you would need to travel to a larger city. Maybe they will consider adding a simple sweet treat for after dinner but there are other great local spots for dessert. I will be back here again!
