We give it a 2-3 stars. I Feel its an overrated locale. Service was good and very friendly. Our…read moreserver was very attentive. 1 personally like the complimentary jalapeño cornbread with the lightly sweet butter. The breaded onionring apps was good. I like the onions actually cut and dont stay whole when trying to eat them. She didnt care for the pecan chicken salad. It looked heavily overdressed, over fried, dry, tough and just unappealing. My "smoked" primer rib was very salty. And even though it is smoked, it had the texture and taste of being raw. I normally eat primerib med rare, this wasn't a hit for me. This was our first time here and we weren't really overwhelmed. #foodie #critic #review #restaurant #dinner #louisiana #dining

Had the red beans with fried catfish special today. WOW!…read more Beans were cooked perfectly, creamy and seasoned great. The fish were hot and flaky, not greasy or oily. My compliments to the chef! That lunch set me right!! Great attentive service. Nice atmosphere, not loud and crazy with music like in some restaurants. Decor was nice to look at. The very large picture of the oak tree looked like the 'Angel 0ak' in S.C. Will be back for more. Can't wait to be hungry again.

I am not an expert when it comes to Laplace or St. John Parish. But I did work out here a bunch and…read moreeveryone knows that when you work somewhere, you better find places to eat. Jambalaya Shoppe came highly recommended by a work buddy so I met him there one day. After that, it became my go-to lunch spot. Like its name indicates, this place sells a bunch of jambalaya. I rarely eat jambalaya that isn't made by me so I was skeptical. But they also sell gumbo which every red blooded Louisianaian loves so that is what I ordered. The gumbo here is legitimately good. It is filled with large pieces of chicken. When I say large, I mean multiple whole thighs. Get it with a fork and knife. Seriously. This is not your normal restaurant gumbo. It is thick, rich, and has a well developed roux. In addition to the massive amounts of chicken, it also includes a massive amount of sausage. Luckily for me, it came pre sliced and only the chicken needed to be cut up before eating. The best thing about the gumbo is that it is super reasonable. Don't quote me on prices because my brain doesn't work so good, but I think it was like $9 with tax for gumbo and a water. This is a massive meal for $9! If you want good gumbo, and are in LaPlace, get yourself to Jambalaya Shoppe.

On our return to NOLA, I decided to hit up an old favorite... Jam's. Previously I had only ever had…read morea takeout poboy for lunch, but decided to dine in with the family. The food is good, and service is good. Generally, the prices are good. However, they pulled some shady crap on this most recent visit, and I can't possibly give more than 3 stars with that behavior. The menu has fountain drinks at $2.20 and bottled water for $1.35. My husband and I have been trying to avoid drinking coke etc, so we each ordered a water. The server didn't ask whether we wanted tap or bottled, brought tap, and I assumed it was free (after all, it's just tap water). We enjoyed our meal, then received the bill, with $2.20 each for the water. Had that been advertised anywhere, we would have chosen the bottled water. So, warning to anyone going to Jam's and dining in - don't order water. Or specify that you want bottled water.

Light and flavorful, from the fried okra to the fried catfish. I chose the Monday Special: Fried chicken gizzards with 1 side (okra), enough to share because we brought some home. My daughter chose the plain double cheese burger and fries. 2 thumbs up from the teen. My hubby got the Mix Three meal: 1 piece fish, 3 wings, 7 pieces of shrimp and 2 sides (mushrooms and hushpuppies). Cannot complain about portions because there is enough to share, if you want to. Business was not busy around 6pm, there were a couple guests waiting in the dining room for their to-go order. We were met at the counter by an amazing cashier who greeted us, asked how we were doing and she had a smile that was warm and inviting. She noticed I was walking with crutches and kindly asked if I was OK too. As we were leaving the restaurant started picking up. The restaurant was not loud and was very well cleaned, not a crumb on any tables once we sat down to wait for our order. We chose to dine in, but they already packaged our order to-go which was great because it was easy to close up and head out when we had our fill. I would definitely take the drive out to LaPlace just to enjoy more of their menu again.

I had the Neenee sub which had shrimp, homemade remoulade , and fried green tomatoes. It was very large and could barely finish!

It sits next to a Shell gas station which I had to park at Pump while eating but fortunately wasn't too busy to cause an issue.
