I was excited to try this new restaurant. They began by asking the public's opinions on some of…read moretheir food offerings which I thought was a great idea and a great way to have the locals feel invested in your restaurant. The decor is nice and fits the local area well. Now for the negative unfortunately. We were not greeted upon entering. We sat ourselves at a table and after waiting for 15 minutes I went and got menus for the table. After waiting another 10 minutes we were able to flag someone down to get our drink order. We ordered a Bayou Dog meal and the lunch special (chopped steak). We waited another 30 minutes for our food. The "Bayou Dog" was lukewarm at best and was really just not good. It sounded great on the menu but the whole thing was a letdown and I believe the only sauerkraut was the one little piece of cabbage you see in the picture. My dining partner said the chopped steak was in small little pieces. Just weird. We gave up on drink refills or getting our check at the table and went to the counter to pay so we could leave. I have heard good things about breakfast so I will give that a try. The good news is this is a new business and they will hopefully learn a lot and make some improvements as they go along.

It was juicy with all the right toppings to make it a delicious, drippy delight! The meat was cooked perfectly. The crinkle fries were hot and as good as frozen fries can be. One friend got the banana milkshake and raved at how much banana taste it had. Several also indulged with dessert. The Hot Fudge Sundae was a hit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can't wait to return as I hear their chicken tenders are great but I have to try the shrimp poboy.

All in all the food was pretty good. The soft shell crab BLT was pretty creative and tasty. We wouldn't order the dressing again for the fish, it was $10 for a half dollar sized amount. Staff was friendly, nice environment for kids. The sweet potato was surprisingly pretty delish. Would go back again.

Food was as expected, a notch above the typical fried seafood, fresh and cooked to perfection. Salad and baked potato sides were, well salad and baked potato. Nothing outstanding but no negatives at all. Service was spot on, timely and friendly. Did notice only one refill for tea mentioned on menu, I didn't test that but would have been a little bent if I was charged for excessive refills on tea. It's not much to provide an extra glass particularly when it is priced as the highest profit item on the menu. All in all a nice dinner with the Mrs and leftovers for lunch.

Our meal featured an excellent selection of fried seafood, including plump fried shrimp, flavorful fried oysters, and succulent fried crab claws, all accompanied by a perfectly baked potato and fresh green beans. Every item was prepared to the highest standards--crispy, well-seasoned, and served at the ideal temperature, delivering outstanding taste and quality throughout. The portions were generous, and the overall presentation, as shown in the attached photographs, highlighted the freshness and appeal of the dishes. We were equally pleased with the attentive and friendly service, which contributed to a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend The Lighthouse Restaurant to anyone seeking authentic, fresh Gulf of America seafood in a warm and welcoming setting. We will certainly return on our next visit.

I've held back for 3 visits just to make certain the food was consistent and the folks are wonderful.

We ordered the boudin egg rolls for an appetizer and wow! If you've never tried boudin anything before this is a great start! Apparently, folks drive from all over just to order them. They came with a secret recipe yellowish dipping sauce that had some horseradish and possibly Dijon mustard in it. We loved it and it was a perfect compliment to the egg rolls. For our meals we both ordered po' boy sandwiches. Mine was shrimp, hubs had fish which happened to be snapper. Both came fully loaded with mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickles on fresh French sub roll. And crispy fries for $12.99. The seafood was fresh and you could tell that it was. This place is a bit boring on the inside regarding its decor, but the food we ate was delicious. I'd recommend to anyone and hope to stop by again.

The mop bucket area or whatever it is that's located near the window where they take the money is covered in black mold. The health department needs to go by there and do an inspection.

The guy who brought the food out said the inside of the restaurant was sweltering due to workers working in the roof/ceiling area.
