    Always delicious. Atmosphere is always inviting and family friendly. Staff is professional and really seem to love what they do. Substitutions are not an issue either so don't be afraid to ask! One major plus for me (being that I worked restaurant/fast food for about two decades) I have NEVER tasted old oil! Anything I've eaten fried has been fresh and fried well.

    Eureka - I've found it!! This was the first Roast Beef PoBoy that I have found outside of the New Orleans area that I've liked... and I've tried almost every RB PoBoy in the general area from Monroe to Shreveport. Way to go Jo-el's. Can't wait to also try other menu items. But, I'm not sure I am ready to get anything else but the RB PoBoy for now.

    Newk's is a great fast casual restaurant that will surely satisfy any hunger pains you have, and I…read morehighly recommend it. You can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches or salads! They are all super tasty! Some of my favorite salads include the Salmon Caesar, the Cobb, and the Shrimp Avocado! And, as for sandwiches, you can't go wrong with any of them--like the spectacular Newk's Q, their French Dip, the Italian, and the Club. Ummm... but I hate even narrowing it down to those few honestly because they are ALL good. Like, OMG how could I even leave out the Chicken Salad... OK, I'll stop! But, seriously, you can't go wrong with any of them. One of my favorite things at Newk's is their condiments bar, which features some amazing "toppings" you can add to any of your dishes. These include things like freshly shaved Parmesan, marinated garlic cloves, banana peppers, hot sauces, and croutons! I usually get a ton of the garlic b/c I just can't get enough of it, so maybe don't stand so close to me after I've been to Newk's! Hehe. If you haven't yet tried Newk's, I highly recommend it! Personally, I prefer Newk's for lunch b/c I like more formal settings for dinner typically. But, Newk's will certainly be tasty any time of the day you visit!

Chicken Cobb salad was the best, very fresh and the chicken was grilled well. Fish was a little dry, and the bbq shrimp was ok, not overly flavorful. Glad we finally made it in- decent spot

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.
