One of the things I love about Louisiana is the ability to go to a drive thru daiquiri place lol!…read moreFrosty Factory has been here as long as I can remember but this is the first time I've been able to inside as an adult. The staff here is extremely friendly and gave me a full rundown of their menu! For your daiquiris there is a flavor for everyone & various sizes depending on what kind of mood you're in. So far I have tried the amaretto sting, hurricane, jungle juice, and banana split flavors. The amaretto sting has to be my favorite, as I love a good amaretto sour! All drinks are taped closed and covered, so it encourages you of course to drink responsibly and wait until you reach your destination before partaking. This is a great spot to come through for college students and locals alike!

Eh, smokey and some loud music, so if that's what you're going for, it's probably the spot for you…read more Decent line up of flavors...

Fun bar in the front of the casino at the Golden Nugget…read more Just inside the main entrance and behind the security of the casino, RUSH Lounge is a great spot to meet for drinks, a cigar or listen to live music before, after or while taking a break from gambling. The spot is small so it always feels like there's a crowd. Drinks are good and service is better. I always drop by during my visit to the casino floor. You should too.

There was also plenty of space out front to celebrate together with friends and family, and also play around and ride the bull. Thanks for hosting! I didn't take a picture of the food, but everything was fantastic. Not just saying that. I will be back again soon. Boneless wings were my favorite! Both the buffalo and Asian.

Amazing pizza experience. I tried the chicken shawarma pizza at Lux Plates and Pours and it was…read moretruly exceptional. The crust was perfect. The toppings were generous and flavorful. They actually let me choose some extra toppings. And the combination of chicken shawarma, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, jalapenos, special crema and queso fresca was a game changer.

I wish i would've taken a picture, but we ate it up so fast. It's a must if you're in Lake Charles.

There is another restaurant nearby that is similar that I've been going to for year's it's always been my favorite but I must say Cooler's Ice House really out did themselves. Lean Roast Beef, Ham and Turkey soaked in their house made au jus, dressed with 3 cheeses, lettuce, mustard and that delicious jalapeño mayo on a super crusty roll that is source out of Lafayette, Louisiana I'm told, the bread is definitely fifty percent of the sandwich's quality and taste. There were six of us in our party and the table service here was outstanding, Madison our server was on top of everything throughout our visit here. They weren't very busy when we arrived but quickly fill up as time went on - I thought the kitchen was a little slow but everything was well executed and delicious - no complaints from anyone at our table. This is definitely a place I'd return to and it's likely I'd repeat my order exactly, there's no sandwich that comes close to this deliciousness anywhere that I've experienced near my home in Florida - it's great when even the locals whom have access to this place treats it like something special...

The Scene I've really tried to like Tony's. My family and I…read morehave visited at least five times over the past three years, hoping each visit would be the one that changed our minds. The restaurant itself is fairly basic, but one thing that has always stood out is the parking situation. There are only a handful of spots near the entrance, including a single handicap space, which can make pickup inconvenient. My first visit set a less-than-great tone. I ordered online and pulled into the drive-thru line, assuming I could pick up my order there. When I reached the window, I was told - rather emphatically - that online orders had to be picked up inside. As a mobility-impaired veteran, having to park in the back, walk through the rain, and retrieve a to-go order wasn't exactly the welcome I was hoping for. The Eats Unfortunately, the food has been inconsistent across our visits. The first pizza we ordered had an extremely thin crust that ended up soggy in the middle. On another visit, we tried the appetizer sampler and pizza. The pizza was actually much better that time, but the appetizers were overcooked. The mozzarella sticks, in particular, had reached the point where the cheese inside had become rubbery and dried out. Today, we stopped in for lunch and ordered a shrimp po'boy and lasagna. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the po'boy and had no complaints. My lasagna, however, was a struggle. The sauce was sparse, leaving the dish tasting mostly like heavily seasoned meat and cheese. After a few bites, I couldn't continue. Everyone's taste buds are different, but the balance of flavors just didn't work for me. The Service Service has been hit-or-miss over the years. We've had some perfectly fine interactions, but that first pickup experience has always stuck with me. A little flexibility - or at least a friendlier explanation - would have gone a long way. Parting Thoughts After multiple visits over several years, I think it's finally time for me to accept that Tony's just isn't my place. That's not to say others won't enjoy it - clearly they have a loyal following - but the inconsistency in the food and some less-than-memorable service experiences have kept us from becoming regulars. My husband would probably order the shrimp po'boy again, but for me, this was my last attempt. Sometimes a restaurant and a customer just aren't the right match.
