Clean restaurant, friendly family environment with good home style Cajun cooking. Food is fresh n hot, might take a minute for it to get to the table, but good food takes time to cook. read more

Nott's is a true "hidden jewel". We have eaten here several times by now and just love it. The menu has local Cajun favorites, all done superbly; AND great steaks. Worth searching-for, guaranteed ! read more

I love the Stuffed Crab and Ribeye Steak. Excellent service and friendly staff . I would recommend. read more

This review applies only to take out. If you live more than 5 minutes from Nott's I don't recommend using the take out. They pack your hot food in a styrofoam container and by the time you get home the food is soggy from sitting in the container. It would be better to pack it in paper or a cardboard tray. . I love the food when I eat there, but not so much for to go. We are about 15-20 minutes away from Nott's. read more

Nott's Cajun Restaurant - Great Cajun food!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lake Arthur, Louisiana

See all

The food was amazing and the service was awesome . Very cheerful and clean atmosphere.

Giving it 4 starts because the people were so nice and the pie was delicious. The gumbo was not my favorite so a little upsetting. And the crab meat au gratin needed some seasonings! But still good and everything was served hot. read more

Family place that was packed on a Friday night. We got the last table. Service was slow, but there were several large parties. We waited about 30 minutes for the food to come, but it was delicious. Hubby had the shrimp stir fry. It didn't have rice which was unusual but fine. There were lots of veggies - wonderful. I had the shrimp sampler, which had grilled, fried and a stuffed shrimp. Also shrimp over rice. in a spice sauce. It was great. read more

Great restaurant. Great food, Especially the Gummy Burger. They are busy and with the limited personnel, give them time to prepare your order. Just be patient in these trying times they are trying hard to serve you. read more

It's been less than two weeks since there has been a change in management at Notts Corner. I gleaned that tidbit from Facebook; but I know nothing about the restaurant's previous standards or recipes, so my review will be strictly based on one visit. You seat yourself. It was thirty minutes to closing and the place was still fairly busy. It turned out to be Crawfish $3/lb. Tuesday night and table after table had round trays of mounds of spicy crawfish shells. We opted for the menu and came away with mixed results. I truly felt these folks to be Cajuns; but we ordered gumbo and got cups of flavored water with shrimp, a piece of crabmeat, (they were out of oysters, she said) and rice added to it. I have no idea what it was. No gumbo is see through. We were starving. We ate it. $5 a cup. There was confusion with my entree and I got a po' boy from the kitchen instead of a platter. My husband had ordered a catfish po' boy, though. $10.00 each. I kept it; but it was my third sandwich in a row and I ended up not eating the bread after I had already squished the catfish. The catfish was really really good, however. A thick meaty fillet. The accompanying onion straws were good, too. I had ordered a cup of crawfish etouffee which was very thick, lumpy and too pungent, but lots of little crawfish. More rice. $5 a cup We had a very kind, sweet server who gave us excellent service, especially considering the time. The kitchen was apparently crawfished out. If I lived there I would come back for the catfish. People seemed to be enjoying the crawfish. I wasn't otherwise much impressed; but would give them another go round. It's a bright, clean recently remodeled place with basic tables and chairs. Nice black and white photos on the walls. They appeared to have a drive thru window! read more

Boiled crawfish were extremely disappointing. Cold, small, mushy and expensive. Obviously cooked this afternoon and sat in an ice chest. #lesson learned. Grilled catfish and onion rings were very good. Best dish of the night. read more

My wife and I ate lunch here on Mother's Day. The food was great. I had the lunch special, grilled catfish, cabbage, and carrots soufflé. Delicious. My wife had the catfish Irene. Also delicious. For dessert we had the bread pudding. Again delicious. Pudding could have used a little more rum sauce. We will be back. read more

This is the first time I have ever been in Lake Arthur and this place is excellent. The food was very good. Had fried oysters and grilled veggies. Both were done just right. The wait staff was polite fast and efficient. The place was very clean and inviting. The price was a good bargain for what you get. Will definitely go back again before I leave the area. read more

Was served a cold thing crawfish and tasted like it had been in a freezer for months! Broke my fiancés parents hearts! They said it used to be good but now it's poor quality! read more

The new owners are terrible. At first I had heard everyone complain about how bad the service has been since it changed owners and i thought "how bad could it be?" i mean you dont have many options in such a small town. So let me explain the experience i had. First off i will say i was impressed with the fact the steak i ordered was cooked to the correct temp but it had zero seasoning so it negated the fact it was cooked well. But the food aside the real nightmare came when an older waitress got pissed off at a 20 something year old customer who stiffed her on a tip and then she thought it would be a good idea to call him out for not tipping, which i dont blame him for i dont tip people who suck at their jobs either. So the old waitress started complaining to everyone working there and we had just sat down when this occured so I had to listen to this old hag complain about the tip BS the whole hour I was there for a late lunch. She litterally complained and yelled to everyone who worked there and the next customer who went to the counter to pay. We tipped our server since she didnt do anything wrong, but i will never go back after listening to that old lady yelling for over an hour. Smh. read more

Stopped while passing through. Ok for a small town diner type place. Lots of fried selections . Not much for vegetarians. Fried pickle chips and onion strings were pretty decent. read more

First off, I ordered through the waitr app like I always do. I ate at this restaurant a couple of years ago many many times and never had a problem. I'm not sure if they changed owners or what! The gumbo is very salty! Yuck! I paid $2.95 for a sweet potato and it's not even half of a sweet potato!! Definitely not worth no $2.95! Also I ordered the combination platter with shrimp and oysters and opted for extra oysters for $2.95. First off the combination platter only has 6 shrimp and 6 oysters, 1 side and a salad for $24.95! Outrageous! I can get an oyster platter at a restaurant in Jennings for half that price with double the oysters and double the side. The side was stuffed potato and it didn't even fill up the compartment in the Styrofoam plate it came in! The salad? Lettuce! That's it! They even forgot the dressing!! Will be bringing my business elsewhere and letting my friends know too! Word of mouth is worse for a business than any review! read more

This is a small restaurant off the beat and path in the little town of Lake Arthur. It's about 15 minutes or less south of I-10 at the Jennings exit, but so worth the drive. Wow! We ordered from their lunch special on Thursday which was barbecue. We ordered two plate lunches. One was the biggest pork steak I have ever seen! The second was brisket. Each plate came with a HUGE serving of delicious rice dressing (or dirty rice as the Cajuns say), a serving of baked beans, a serving of potato salad, a roll, and a small container of barbecue sauce. It was all delicious!! (They also had barbecue chicken.) In my opinion, the dressing and meat on each plate is plenty for two (or more) people. We were even able to have it delivered through the "Waitr" app. I've also been to the restaurant and had other dishes that were really good also. I highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

Best food in town. Great Crawfish, crabs and shrimp. Local treasure. Family friendly. Love this place.
