It was a really hot day on 4th of July. My family and I came in here for some ice cream. It's a…read morereally cute shop. They have plenty of gifts, souvenirs... and fudge! Sadly I don't buy fudge often and I rarely crave it, but I was happy that they have it as an option for those that love it. This just means I have to visit them again and try a bit of fudge. The ice cream line was a bit long because they make other cold treats, too. It's all good because we didn't have a lot going on and was thankful they were open that day, so I was patient. The family and I were visiting Natchitoches for the weekend and of course thought of getting a memorabilia of some sort. I'm not that big of a shopper and don't like collecting things. If you're into that sort of thing... they have a bunch of trinkets that you'll like! The ice cream was definitely worth the wait. I just wish I would have gotten more scoops because it was a really hot day. It's close to the river and other fun downtown eateries and establishments. Add this place to your visit for some yummy treats!

I went with family or I would have left that nice menu items was crap all they had was boiled shrimp and crawfish. I got the shrimp and disappointment was understatement. Not easy to peel. No flavor at all not even salt potatoes only flavor salt I forgot a piece of sausage which tasted like sausage definitely not anything special but I wish I could play with just a flavor of food. That was absolutely the worst shrimp I've ever eaten in my entire life.

We ate there a week ago. Ordered 5lbs of boiled crawfish and drinks. Cost was around $54…read more Crawfish brought to the table was right out of the pot and was hot and seasoned well.

I ordered the combo plates with catfish and shrimp. Well when it arrived i was really disappointed in the size of fish filets. They were very small and you could tell they had sliced a whole filet in half to make 2 pieces and gave half of another to make 3 pinky dink piecs of fish. Kinda a rip off . Considering it was 22+$ meal. Really pathetic. But it tasted good and shrimp were ok to. Also would've been better if they made their own cocktail sauce or put the things to make your own on the table. You could tell it was cheap bottled commercial sauce. Tater sauce was same way. Anyway id probably go back again but try a different dish next time. This place could be great if they went that little extra mile to make their own sauce and portions that made people feel like they got their money's worth. Spent 41$ + tip for my meal . 1 person.

While looking for a good plate lunch in Alexandria, I was recently recommended to try Martin Meats,…read moreand I'm glad I did. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by the pleasant aroma of smoked meats drifting through the air. I made my way to the plate lunch counter, which offered a wide variety of choices. For my first visit, I decided to sample a little of everything -- pork steak, chicken quarters, and ribs. The sides of mac and cheese and dirty rice were decent, though they left a bit to be desired. The real highlight, however, was the meat. The chicken quarter was tender and moist with no hint of rubberiness, the ribs were flavorful, and the pork steak had an outstanding rub that would complement just about anything. The lady serving the lunches was an absolute delight -- friendly, welcoming, and eager to help since it was my first time there. In addition to their plate lunches, Martin Meats is also a full-service meat market, which adds to its charm and convenience. All in all, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in Alexandria and craving some quality smoked meats.

3.5 stars. This isn't somewhere I would rave about, even…read morethough our meal was good. We both enjoyed our entrees, but nothing made them stand out or gave us a reason to want to go back. The bread was very hard on the outside & the oil to seasoning ratio was off for the dipping sauce. The Caesar salad was ok, the dressing was very thick and needed more pepper/lemon juice. The lettuce was very fresh and it was heavily loaded with Parmesan & croutons. Service was fast and friendly from our waitress, though there was no one at the hostess stand when we arrived. Turns out she was helping cook! Seems understaffed. It was empty during prime lunch hour, which was odd to us. Decent food, but not sure it's worth a stop. The plates on the table were dirty and the dishes our food came out in had some chips/cracks. The sauce for both entrees seemed runny/watery, but tasted ok.

These two girls did well, rhe food was good and fresh. Highly recommended!
