    Bread
    Rae Lynne K.

    Came here for a family gathering right after Christmas. Place was packed! We made reservations so we were seated right away, towards the back. The place was decorated beautifully for the holiday. We were served promptly. We got a couple different appetizers including the bread and the gator bites. The bites were super yummy. The bread hot and fresh, but a touch heavy on the garlic. We also tried the spinach and artichoke dip which was very tasty. I had the grilled chicken with veggies and a loaded baked potato. The potato was awesome! The chicken was ok, and the veggies were ok as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, which was a plus! We skipped dessert as everyone was full.

    Blackened Salmon. I couldn't eat it all.

    The highlight for us was the waiter! He provided amazing service. The food was ok. The chicken gumbo and gator bites were delicious. We enjoyed the small chargrilled oysters but the bbq oysters wasn't a hit for us.

    Oyster tree welcomes you!

    The service was good especially during the busy lunch hour! My husband and I ordered hamburger steaks with twice baked potato and to our surprise, it came with vegetables, and a side salad plus garlic bread! Way too much food for lunch so very generous portions! The restaurant is roomy and clean with white tablecloths. Yes, I recommend this place.

    We went for lunch today and was seated on the side of the restaurant. This was our first time in that section. Also has some large tv's playing. It was so nice. The room is large and bright. We really enjoyed our lunch there. Our food came out very hot and everything was delicious. Our waiter was great!

    I went here with a group of 16. They were able to accommodate us with a reservation the day of. They allotted one server for our table which ended up not being too bad. Holy moly the oysters are HUGE and tasty with the bread. You have to get the oysters. Most meals come with a salad of your choice between house or Caesar. The stuffed mushrooms were a great add on for appetizers. I got the norman, it was a cozy meal with really large shrimp. I personally would've liked something more spicy. The gator bites were huge as well and fresh. I recommend if you're trying to get some Louisiana cuisine in the area.

    Oyster shell tree!

    Our server Bree was so on point with everything! Definitely would go and ask for her to be our server every time! The oysters and side salad were delicious. Queen cake was like a fog bread pudding, delicious. Crab 7 ways was a bit confusing to me, the butternut squash soup wasn't a hit for us but the Augratin and stuffed crab were the best out of the 7 ways. Overall had a very pleasant dining experience and would return!

    The Guitreau
    Tanya A.

    Camryn was our waitress last night and she was fantastic! She took care of us and was above and beyond. We started with the house bread with cheese dip, so delicious! My husband ordered the Guitreau and he ate it all and was very pleased. I ordered the Burnside spinach salad with grilled shrimp and it was the best. My mother in law had the Joliet and she was very delighted. It was a great dinner time and one of our favorite places!

    Such great food. Well worth it to go to this quaint restaurant with sports decor. Great story about the owner! Service was top notch too.

    Every time I visit the Gonzales area I have to at least visit Mike Anderson's for a dinner. This trip I actually went two nights in a row and with the variety of choices there is now way to be bored with the selection! The location is adjacent to the Clarion Conference center so don't be confused when entering the hotel parking lot. It has its own entrance to the right of hotel. Every meal I have had is exceptional and service is right on point. Since traveling alone I usually sit at bar area which is well staffed and a great atmosphere to meet others in town and locals alike. I highly recommend trying the grilled oysters if given the chance which is cooked right there in front of you! The Shrimp Norman will not disappoint and leave you filled with the fresh shrimp covered in sauce. Will continue to visit this establishment on my upcoming trips to the area so if you haven't been then you should go for it!

    I had the Tuna steak , vegetables and fries .. I might be ignorant but I've never had anyone ask how I want my tuna cooked . The meal was pretty good , place was clean .. they gave a lot of food . Service could have been better . It's more of a fine dining experience.

    After a previous not-so-great experience at the bar, I received a call from Jason, the General…read moreManager at Don's Seafood in Gonzales, who personally reached out to apologize and invited me to come back so he could take care of us. He said, "Next time you're in Gonzales, please stop by -- I'd love to meet you." So this past Sunday, Parker and I went in for brunch -- same time of day as before -- but this time we sat in the dining room, and the experience was completely different and absolutely wonderful. From the moment I walked in, Ava at the host stand smiled and said, "Oh, you're back!" and that right there is what I love about great front-of-house teams -- you feel remembered and welcomed. I asked if Jason was there, and it turns out Sunday is normally his day off, but he came in just to see us. That alone meant so much. He was warm, fun, genuinely hospitable, and made us feel truly cared for. And then Connor came by -- now sporting a mustache that somehow makes him look five years older -- but he recognized me right away and gave me a big hug. That kind of genuine connection says everything about the people who work here. Our server, Aaliyah, was phenomenal -- friendly, attentive, and always offering great recommendations with the best attitude. We started with Bloody Marys (which we loved), then ordered 3 pounds of crawfish, which also comes with corn and potatoes. It's early in the season, so they were lightly salty, but still absolutely delicious and perfect with the local draft beer we ordered (I believe it was from Parish Brewing). Such a great pairing. Parker ordered the half grilled shrimp with chicken gumbo, and I had the fried oyster po'boy with seafood gumbo -- mine was fantastic. His gumbo leaned a little salty, but overall everything was flavorful and satisfying. And then... Jason surprised us with king cake, just in time for Mardi Gras. He recommended strawberry and I also went with a classic because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to king cake -- and it was perfect. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere: families, couples, friends -- you could feel that this is a true community spot that people love. It was lively, warm, and full of good energy. Thank you, Jason, for going out of your way and turning a bad experience into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Aaliyah, for being such a wonderful server. And thank you, Connor (and that mustache ) for the hug and the warm welcome back. And thank you, Don's Seafood, for reminding me why this place is such a Gonzales staple. We'll definitely be back.

It is a staple of the I-10 corridor and Don's Seafood is a Lafayette standard now expanded to multiple locations. The Gonzalez, LA location is full of Cajun and traditional southern charm with a modern feel. I sat at the bar and got my Abita beer (my New Orleans go to) and a heaping plate of crawfish (standard 3lb order with corn and potato sides). Takes me back to growing up down south and well seasoned, not too salty or lip burningly spicy. Excellent size for early March as well (if you want mini lobster big, visit in early May). The bartender stayed attentive and made sure to get me the second Abita to wash it all down. Can't wait for my next trip!

As soon as the hostess sat us down I noticed that the table were very close by each other which I don't like simply bc I could hear the next tables conversation and it was hard to have a conversation of my own. Other than that, the service was good. Our waiter was very nice and efficient and knew the menu like the back of his hand! I ordered the Dru Platter which was the choice of two items off the seafood platter and I got the friend shrimp and fish and it was pretty good. The shrimp were my favorite and it was fried and seasoned very well. For dessert I had the white chocolate bread pudding and it was very good! Very moist and not to sweet but just right! If I go again this would be something that I would definitely get! No if, ands, or buts about it! That bread pudding was a 10/10! Overall, I would rate this place. 6/10!

The fish and shrimp were small, the potato was small and undercooked in the middle and hard to chew. Only saw two small bites of crabmeat in the sauce. Well, the food itself had an acceptable flavor, it just was not enough to be satisfying. We left hungry and ended up stopping somewhere else to eat. I will say the waitress was nice.
