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!

They don't have extensive menus, but what they have hits on a whole new level. I was fortunate enough to get the last serving of Pork Roast and gravy; DAUYM yall have to get this when you stop in. It was so tender and flavorful. Sometimes places add gravy to mask something, but this enhances the protein. Now, I am NOT a fan of 95% of potato salads; they are heavy, mostly have a mustard base, and are mushy. My friends, I would come here JUST for the potato salad. It tasted like mashed potatoes, and potato salad had a baby. We ordered a second round because my kid ate most of mine. It is a counter service, and the girls that took our order recommended the potato salad, gave great recommendations, and the cook or owner told me about the Pork roast. It is off the main drive but super easy to get to; know, it is at the far end of the strip mall. It was quiet, with a few families eating. Overall, my YELP friends, next time you are on your way to NOLA, stop by and grab yourself some Pot & Paddle!!

I originally wanted to go somewhere else for oysters because I love mine loaded with lots of butter…read moreand Parmesan etc. I even suggested one of my favorite spots that I always visit when I'm in New Orleans but insisted, "No, no, no you have to try Mike Anderson's!" So, I gave it a chance. We made reservations and were seated almost immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was a little cold inside, the strawberry lemonade was delicious and the food overall was very good. The oysters were actually really good! I was especially excited that they let me try one I had never seen on a menu before, the BBQ oysters jalapeño. It was fun stepping outside of my usual order, I was glad I did. It was a rainy day, so we ended up getting pretty soaked coming in and leaving but that certainly wasn't the restaurant's fault. What really stood out was the service. Our waiter was incredibly accommodating, attentive and friendly, the entire waitstaff made us feel welcome. The restaurant was also clean, bathroom as well which I always appreciate. Overall, I had a great experience. I'm glad I gave Mike Anderson's a try. Great food, great service and I'd definitely come back.

We ordered the 50-50 catfish and shrimp combo and the c'est la vie potato. With our tea and lemonade, the total came to $47.64. Unfortunately, the meal definitely did not meet our expectations. 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. This was my first visit and my last.
