Great service and food! Thank you to the girl at my hotel for the suggestion! My server, Maddie, was excellent and the Old Fashioned was perfect. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Natchitoches let us down. Family gathering to celebrate 3 family birthdays in a 5 day period. Our table of 10 included people who drove from Jackson, Bossier City, Alexandria, and Many specifically to eat at Mayeaux's, a family favorite for special occasions since they first opened. The food tasted good, but every entree brought to the table was served lukewarm, only slightly above room temperature. None of us said anything at the table, each thinking it was only our plate and not wanting to spoil our get together. When talking about our dinner later in the evening, we found that we all had the same experience. They were busy as usual for a Saturday night, but nothing out of the ordinary. Inconsistent quality is damaging to a restaurant's reputation. We all agreed that it will be awhile before we return. read more

The food was really good. The service was excellent. Our server Emily did a fantastic job and took very good care of us. We started with the mini meat pies that came with remoulade sauce. They were outstanding and made better with some Tabasco sauce. I had the angel hair Alfred with grilled chicken that was fantastic. My fiancée had a bowl of gumbo that while tasty was barely room temperature. When drinks were delivered at the start we received a loaf of fresh baked French bread and butter that was wonderful. read more

Mayeaux's Steak & Seafood - Angel hair Alfredo with grilled chicken - Seafood Near Me - Natchitoches, Louisiana

Let me start by saying Mayeaux's rocks, and it does as the moment you enter the old style small intimate bar area your hit with early 70"s rock (some of my favorite) The restaurant is located in quaint and historic Natchitoches LA which itself is worth exploring. Furthermore the restaurant is located across from the river promenade which is a pleasant walk I arrived early and started with a glass of Conundrum and and this was a POUR. I'm used to city pours at city prices and my glass of Conundrum for $12 or JOSH for $10 was the start of my memorable meal! Next came our appetizer of mini meat pies. These authentic meat pies are an LA tradition and plenty to start with for 3. Entrees were next and we all had fish Red Fish Cocodrie and i ate the FULL PORTION. Fried redfish with signature pierogue sauce including crawfishand shrimp - unbelievable. My friends had grilled redfish as well as the stuffed redfish - nobody left a crumb. In addition, the meals all come with substantial sides included which were delicious and so large we took them to go We closed with the delicious buttermilk cake served with vanilla ice cream. No doubt Mayeaux"s is a special and authentic restaurant worth the visit regardless of how far you may need to drive to get there! read more

The best steak I've had in years. The hot bread and sides were also delicious. Great service. Looking forward to making it part of our annual getaway to Natchitoches. read more

The BEST thing about Mayeaux's is the Malibu Sunset drink! LOVED it!! The food was good and the place is perfect for casual dinners or to watch a football game! The fried catfish shrimp dinner was enough to feed both my husband & me! Big huge shrimp!! The alligator appetizer probably would look like a bigger portion if on a smaller plate! The service was ok but could've been a little friendlier! Overall I'd go back when in Natchitoches! Yes, I recommend this place! read more

Mayeaux's Steak & Seafood - Catfish AcaDiana - Seafood Near Me - Natchitoches, Louisiana

I was looking for a nice restaurant for a romantic date with my wife for our 30th anniversary. This did not work out well for me. Extremely noisy restaurant, when I say extremely noisy, Lord have mercy! The food was at best mediocre. My wife had redfish with lump crab and shrimp sauce. The fish was very dry (overcooked). I had Blackened Catfish Acadiana, it was okay. The étouffée could have had more flavor, it was a bit bland. On the upside the squash casserole as a side dish was excellent. read more

Wonderful food and always great service. Small quaint restaurant in beautiful downtown. Highly recommend.

Went in and sit at bar. Ten minutes past and finally begged for a cold beer. A lady came took empty and never brought another. Wanted to eat but no one would take a food order. Lots of folks standing around but few working the bar crowd. Paid for my couple beers and went down the road to eat! Very very poor bar service. read more

MAYEAUX'S is a small town steak house in Natchitoches, LA. It quaint and full of charm. The decor is warm and comfortable. The service is good and the food is quite nice. We started with shrimp cocktail, which was, well, shrimp cocktail. It was good and the presentation was very good. We each had the side salad. It was served to my liking, very cold. We each had the petit filet, and it was very nice. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to our order. I had fries, and Jan had the squash casserole. I thought the fries were average at best. Jan thought they were excellent. It was the other way around with the squash casserole. I thought it was great, Jan thought it was too sweet. The restaurant was full, but not loud or noisy. We enjoyed our dinner and had a lovely evening. read more

Excellent food. I had the redfish cocodrie . My friend had the shrimp and catfish, followed by bread pudding. It was all amazing. Casual setting in a historic building that fronts on the river. Plan ahead: it gets really busy in a hurry at dinner! The service was top notch. read more

Nice place, liked the decor. It was noisy but I was prepared for that vibe. Bbq shrimp was very good. Ordered a strip steak, was good not wonderful for the 62.00 price. They also hold your license when they give you a beeper if you're waiting for a table. I did not like that. read more

Such a cute restaurant. Our waitress was so accommodating cleaning off a big table to seat our group. We came here mid afternoon because Yelp reviews said this was the best bread pudding in Natchitoches. It was a major hit with our group. Each serving fed two of us. The hot bread pudding was moist and flavorful. Just what we needed as a pick me up before we continued our exploration of Natchitoches. I bet the rest of the menu is just as delicious. Look forward to trying other menu items next time. read more

My husband and I's 1st time here - it was NOT worth 150$ at all. The only thing we got that would even be worth writing home about is the crabcakes app. Hubby got the steak salad, the steak was good but it was basically just steak, a couple slices of egg, a bit of cheeses and lettuce for over 30$ - definitely NoT worth the price tag. I got the grilled stuff red fish w/lemon & parsley and the fish was super dry and had really no flavor. The crab stuffing was just a crabcake with no breading just plopped on top of the fish. The potato was fairly decent, the grilled squash was basically raw. For the price tag, I don't recommend at all. Was pretty disappointing. Something to note: it was so loud in the place that we were unable to even hold a conversation it was impossible to hear, even sitting right next to each other as well as it did not seem as if anyone was in any kind of hurry. read more

The redfish is definitely yummy w crab meat on top of the fish meat. The onion rings and the alligator are too salty. read more

I ate alone at the bar. The bartender made a fantastic dirty martini. The steak was cooked perfectly and the creamed spinach and green beans were the perfect sides. read more

Amazing food!!! Love the ambiance!!! Super friendly service. We have red beans and rice, gumbo and the crawfish etouffee. The gumbo was my absolute favorite!! Best I've ever had!!! Red beans and rice were very good too. Mostly beans instead of mostly rice like a lot of places. read more

Food was great. Steamed vegetables as a side dish were fantastic. Cesar salad was incredible as were the shrimp. Service was good. They do have a sign saying they are not fast at the door so don't be in a hurry. Our waitress was very good and quick. It is a very nice restaurant with full bar. We stay up front because the bar can get loud. That makes an excellent environment for anyone with hearing aids like myself. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Bartender with long hair was so hateful and kept making rude remarks. She would leave and go in the back and wouldn't come out for long periods of time. Worst service I've had in a long time. read more

Very nice place to have a great dinner. My sister and I celebrated her birthday here.

We visited Mayeaux's yesterday after visiting the alligator park. We went in the middle of the afternoon so there was immediate seating. The service was prompt, the food was amazing and everything was as promised. I can say that if we are ever in the area, we would go back. read more

We were greeted and had less than a 10 minute wait. Very nice hostess! My husband had fried softshell crab that was slightly overcooked. Onion rings were great! Steamed vegetables were perfect! I had oven-broiled red fish with lump crab meat topping; slightly overcooked but delicious! Salad and steamed vegetables were the perfect complement to my meal! The bread pudding with rum sauce was yummy! We enjoyed our experience. read more

Excellent service and delicious food! Crawfish Pie is yummy and ice cold tea with extra lemon! Bread pudding was warm and the perfect cherry on top! read more

This is my favorite place in Natchitoches & my boyfriend's favorite place for meat pies in Natchitoches! They are mini sized and the crust is perfect. When we entered the restaurant to escape the midday heat during the Meat Pie Festival, we were greeted promptly and told to pick anywhere to sit. We chose open seats at the bar near the kitchen. It was a great place to view all of the hot food coming out of the kitchen and all of the action. Bloody mary's were on spot. We purchased a bottle of their bloody mary mix to try to recreate at home. The owner Mr. Clay was so friendly and informative. He gave us a bit of historical information as he was born and raised here. The bartender Amy will be graduating NWU this December and will be leaving Mayxeuxs, which is probably a common occurrence since this is a college town. We sure are glad we got to know her during our visit! read more

I had the pepper jack chicken breast along with stuffed potatoes. It had just enough spice to it. My waitress was a delight.

My husband and I ate here for dinner. We ordered the Blackened Alligator and Red Fish Cocodrie. We have not eaten alligator before so I can't really review it. We really enjoyed the Red Fish Cocodrie. It was delicious. The fish was not fishy tasting at all. We got a side of steamed vegetables and squash casserole. Both were very good. The portions were very large and we were glad we slit the meal. Service was great. I highly recommend. read more
