We were happy to be able to take what was leftover home with us to enjoy! I would 100% recommend Gina's Catering!

The wings appetizer needs improvement. I was expecting fried wings with a dry rub for the flavor, but instead they were tossed in a wet sauce, which wasn't what I had in mind and took away from the overall enjoyment of the dish. On a more positive note, the boiled bag was good. We ordered it with the house special seasoning at a hot spice level, and it delivered solid flavor and heat. I know the restaurant has just opened, so I'm willing to give it another try in the future and see how things improve as they continue to settle in

This location has a huge bakery with a large staff, and a larger selection of fresh pastries, cakes, pies, donuts, breads and all things carb-o-rific. I saw 4 different varieties of cheesecake that you could buy by the slice that almost made my inner fat boy cheat on his very lackluster diet efforts. I chose to keep walking past but I'm still regretting it. There is also a cafe inside with a nice salad bar and hot food selection that you can purchase by the pound and either eat it there at one of the many tables or take to go. The produce selection was pretty large and seemed to have a decent selection of organic veggies. The meat market was one of the other stars of this store. Butcher on site, huge bone briskets were in the pre-packaged case, large seafood selection and a cabinet with dry aged beef! The alcohol selection is also pretty impressive. A large variety of liquors and wine. The lady friend sent me in for a Malbec and there were at least 10-12 to choose from. The beer selection is really nice for such a small town. I'm not sure I've seen a bigger selection of singles in a grocery store setting before. My only issue is they didn't have any Ghost in the Machine this day. If I lived in Thibodaux then this would be my go to store

We had dinner there last night my husband had the gumbo and potato salad ( which he loves from here) I had the pepper jelly shrimp wrap which is my very favorite ...our waiter was exceptional I wish I had gotten his name ( we were there for 7 PM on Tuesday 1/14/26 ) he made sure we were happy with our meal and offered to do our refills, he was very friendly ... If you have not tried their pepper jelly wrap I would definitely suggest that you give it a try.. it is as awesome ...matter of fact everything I have tried there is awesome....

We got seated and the server informed us they had no boiled crawfish. I should have taken this as a sign to get up and leave... Between the three of us at the table, we ordered fried oysters, fried alligator bites, fried shrimp and a fried crawfish po-boy along with some fries and onion rings. I took one bite of the alligator bite appetizer and literally said, "that doesn't taste anything like alligator". To make matters worse, my onion rings tasted just like the alligator. How does an onion ring taste like alligator? When I was served my crawfish po-boy, the crawfish had zero seasoning and were the smallest I had ever seen. My meal was very disappointing. My Mom ordered the shrimp plate and found her meal equally bland and remarked, "the slice of toast and the side salad were the best parts". My stepfather ordered, a fried oyster plate in which the oysters were almost non-existent - his meal with all batter & breading. As part of his meal, my stepfather was able to get a side item from the salad bar in which he got "cold slaw". The slaw was unlike anything I had ever seen (or tasted). It was awful. We ate our food, paid our bill, and left. Once in the parking lot, we all agreed that we will never go back and that a zero-star review is warranted. We expected good Cajun food and only got disappointed.

But today 1-11-26 we were not satisfied with the food and the price. My grandson had fried fish platter he said that it was very good. The other 3 of us cant say the same as him.

They did not tell us it was only bottled and the fee was 2.49 per bottle. I really dont like to complain. I used to have nothing but good to say. Today was different. Im just being honest about our experience. I hope others enjoy it regardless. I had a grilled shrimp salad and there was WAY TOO MUCH cheese on it and way too much croutons. Maybe 6 shrimp. And when my plate was served I smelled a strange smell from the shrimp. The others had a type of salad and grilled chicken breast Acadiana with a cup of seafood gumbo, had too much rice in it. They had complaints about theirs too. We ended up not eating it all and did not take with us. The grandson ate all his and he was happy. We all were glad at least he enjoyed his.

The fried onion rings and fried green beans are very good, and the sauce and ranch that came with them are also both very tasty. I couldn't decide on a fried oyster poboy or fried fish poboy, so I did half and half. Either was okay...just okay. This is definitely a place I would go back again and try one of the many eye catching menu items, but this experience was just average. There's plenty of seating around the place, with an outdoor patio (pictured) right over the bayou with phenomenal views. All staff is incredibly nice and friendly, one of those places that everyone knows everyone. Order did take a bit longer to come out though. There are plaques around the restaurant where they've been voted numerous times to have the best fried chicken around or something like that. I ate 1 wing...it was okay. At that point I was a little bummed by my poboy so that may have influenced my opinion, but again this is definitely an establishment I would visit again.
