Linda's Chicken & Fish
James S.

If you want that grandma's old style flavor of fried chicken, then Linda's is the place to go. Linda's has been around for some time now. Always loved foing here to get the best fried chicken it town. But if your not in the mood for chicken, definitely check out the fried pork chop special or a shrimp/catfish poboy or even a burger. You are sure to make a good choice either way. Plenty of sides to choose from. You will be greeted by a friendly staff and your food will come out hot and fresh. Linda's is that old style family restaurant where you are bound to run into a family member or an old friend or colleague. Even if your not in the mood for food, Linda's will serve you up with a fabulous old style shake with plenty of flavors to choose from.

Fried fish and squash fries.
Penny F.

the food is consistently delicious , with efficient and courteous service! the family friendly ambiance makes for a pleasant dining experience! The fried squash is worth a visit there, by itself! Everything on the menu is fresh, tasty, and prepared with skilled hands!

Shrimp poboy and fries. Hmmmm taste like home.
Amanda S.

A classic since high school. When I come back to Louisiana I come back to Linda's. I always stick to the tried and true shrimp poboy with the great crusty bread. The fries aren't the best but I have to get them to complete the meal. If you're in Watson try it, it's an institution.

Use to be more seasoned fried chicken. Tried calling to pre-order and couldn't find a good phone number on the internet.

Food here is nostalgic to me and service is good. This place is best for takeout but they have seating inside with minimal ambiance.

They have a window outside where they sell snow balls, we tried a peach flavor with "cream" which is really sweetened condensed milk. It was really good, but extremely sweet. It could have used about half of the syrup that was put on it. Next time! I'm sure we will be enjoying these as the weather warms up. When you walk inside they have a little freezer section with frozen seafood, a seating area so you can sit down and enjoy any hot food you purchase, and a case of raw fish. We decided to order the fried shrimp plate, and it was delicious. Best fried shrimp I've had. It came with hush puppies(not a fan), fries(perfect), garlic toast and I had the swamp sauce which is delicious. We also tried their boudin balls, we were not a fan of their version. They also sell hot boiled crawfish and shrimp which seems to be really popular. It's a little country store which seems to be run by family members, while we sat outside we could hear them hollering inside the building. The lady who took my order wasn't too friendly but she made some mean shrimp, the girl who made the snowballs was very nice and helpful as well. All in all we will be back! I can't wait to try the Zachary location as well.

Since I arrived early, I sat at the bar and had a mango piña colada. The bartender was friendly and helpful in selecting a flavor for the piña colada. When my friend arrived, she had one too. We agreed that they were really good. We paid our bar tab and got a table. The facility was nice and clean and had seating for about 100 people. I noticed that there were many employees standing around doing nothing, although I expect that later that evening, the place got really , Although the place was nearly empty, they still seated us close to the door to the kitchen, which I really didn't appreciate. We both ordered the softshell crawfish, and I was delighted that they brought out hush puppies at no charge as soon as we sat down. It didn't take long for them to bring out the soft shell crawfish along with a dipping sauce that was something unfamiliar. My friend didn't really like it, and I used it, but was rather ambivalent about it. The soft show crawfish seemed overcooked to me, and I've had fried crawfish tails many times that were much better. At least I can now say that I have actually had the chance to try a softshell crawfish. Also, since the proceeds from sale of the softshell crawfish, we're going to medical expenses for the owner's daughter's liver transplant, I was happy to contribute to that cause. I would go back to Dukes again, but I would order something other than the softshell crawfish.

It has been a long time since we have had dinner here since the food was not good the last two times we had visited. We used to go all the time but the food just wasn't that good. We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress was wonderful. They were know for their thin catfish unfortunately they have lost their mojo. The fish tasted of just batter. Our waitress handled our party of 14 like a pro. Most of the food came out in a timely manner they were not busy. Our fish came out but the rest of the seafood platter was absent. When it did come out it was cool. Missing hush puppies which we had to ask for. The seafood platter came with two pieces of fish 6 shrimp 4 oysters , large stuff crab , fries and coleslaw. The fish was mushy, the shrimp and oysters were ok the stuff crab was very large but with lots of bread crumbs and green onions. Not our favorite. The place is beautiful. The owners have really worked hard and the decor is very nice. The focus is not on the food like the family that had opened the place. If you are on I55 stop in you will enjoy the beauty of the drive and their dock is great.
