Y'all they were so good!! The boiled shrimp was delicious and I loved the pink sauce dip! Corn was perfect and potato was pretty good too!! Can't wait to come back to Swamp Daddy's! Great Cajun cookery!

They're tucked away behind the gas station next to the Mediterranean restaurant…read more It's a very small spot and not good for big groups. It is good for grab and go or a quick dining experience. They do not offer a full menu every day, they only have what's listed on their white board which was disappointing. Everything was good but everyone in our party agreed that it was very salty. You can't come back from oversalting something in my opinion.

Probably my favorite lunch plate stop in Alexandria. Banger after banger, there are no bad options…read more My favorite was the crawfish pasta during happy hour lunch for $12. Stupid good deal and with the little croissant, just delicious. Only downside is that it's huge and put me to sleep at work. Next favorite meal was the broccoli with the crawfish and cream pasta sauce over it. You get all of the flavor without the risk of food coma. To be honest, the food coma is only an issue if you have to return to work and be highly functional. Otherwise, go for it. The chocolate cake is also very much on point with it moistness and delicious chocolate frosting. I could rotate through the menu and hit this spot multiple times per week.

I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

This is a local spot- no frills. Though, I can imagine it being lively on a busy night. Overall, the meal was good. I tried catfish atchafalaya for the first time based on other diners' reviews and the waitresses recommendation. It was a bit salty for my taste, but not terrible. If you have a sensitivity to salt, I wouldn't recommend. My drink, the Electric Alligator, was delicious and well priced! There are daily specials, including AYCE Fish on Sunday for $20.

Smackin Mack's-If we lived here this place would be worth the 90 minute drive OFTEN to go to!!!!…read more It's on the end of a "plaza", a little hole in the wall decorated with silly signs, limited seating, huge chalkboard menu. You order your food at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. We were greeted with a huge smile as soon as we walked in (Southern hospitality) You don't get the shit in Ohio most of the time! The food.....let's put it this way, when the 2 moms (we had the grandsons) say it's hard to get the boys to eat and all 3 boys got a cheeseburger and fries and all 3 ate every last bite but a few fries and one of them (7 yr old) says "I want to stop eating but I can't" and they gave it a million The food was fabulous!! I say this about some places but this place was top notch- out of this world-I don't even know how to describe it- I ordered hush puppies, she gave them to us and said "I'll give them to you because yall are Yankees" (She had asked about the boys and told her we were babysitting and from Ohio) The BEST freaking hush puppies I've ever had!!! I also had a fried green tomato BLT- who would have thought??? He had a Shrimp PoBoy and loved it!
