I seriously don't like potato salad but per the recommendation of the bartender, I tried it one evening and it's delicious. They occasionally have burnt ends which I hear are also amazing. If you go, in downstairs for a drink with the best bartenders in a divey ambiance. The patio is serene with the creek running by and lots of tree cover. Honestly one of my favorite places in St Charles!

The shrimp po'boy had very thinly sliced pickles to cut through the remoulade (solid condiment by the way), with crisp, well-seasoned shrimp on a crisp, fluffy, grilled roll. The red beans and rice came with smoke and a gentle kick, and the cornbread was a pleasant surprise - a complex fore flavor with a lingering buttery sweetness. I would dine here again!

Gumbo 2 Geaux is the perfect place to dine on Friday during Lent. I went for one of my favorites,…read moreClam Strips, but they were sold out. Since there were no clams, I went for the Catfish Basket. The Catfish Basket had multiple catfish fritters, steak fries and two hush puppies. They also provided a cup full of sliced onions and pickles. Plus, a small serving of Remoulade. I enjoyed the cajun breading on the catfish, it had a flavorful spicy kick. The steak fries were cut fat and thick and I liked the seasoning. For me, they could have been crispier. The Hush Puppies were good, but I was disappointed when I saw a box of Classic Hush Puppies being delivered by their supplier. Homemade Hush Puppies are so much more flavorful. They've been promoting, Barq's Creme Soda on FB and Creme Soda was a favorite when I was growing up, so I couldn't resit ordering one. It was cool, refreshing and brought back flashes of memories. Oh, it was also a great accompaniment beverage to my Lent dinner. Customer Service is good, because chances are you will be waited on by one of the owners. They are true hands on owners and big supporters of the Alton community.

Husband and I were invited out to this place by some friends. They informed us of a band playing…read morethat evening. Checked into the event. They had two bands playing back n forth all night. I've passed this place up on occasion driving to mt Vernon. Always wanted to check it out. Glad we did. They have a gravel based parking. They have outside seating under a roof. Once you walk inside it's like you're in a wooded swamp like area. It was packed a bit so couldn't take many inside photos. The food is Cajun based. so you want some gator or catfish bites. They are one of the places to go to in Clinton County. I tried their grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. A side of Cajun fries( not Spicy- husband thought they may season with ole bay) we shared fried pickles and fried okra- we were almost full off of those alone. Large portions for appetizers! even their ranch dressing they brought out to dip the pickles in seems homemade. staff was amazing and attentive. We sat at the bar to eat and all of the ladies were wonderful! they also have a bar outside. Which was perfect as we were going to watch the bands. Overall we had a great time there!

I've worked in food for 40 years and I know what FRESH slaw looks like. The server said it was made fresh that day like every Friday. I told her I didn't believe that and to take it away as we were not eating that. Last week everything was excellent. Big difference from one week to the next. I don't think we'll be going there next Friday. Consistency is a must when you're serving food. She did not offer a replacement of any kind and our bill DID NOT reflect a discount either, disappointing. The customer is always right, remember that!

My appreciation of Clam Strips goes back to my childhood and dinner at the local Howard Johnson's…read moreon Friday night. Yes, that is a longtime ago. Anyway, the best place that I have found to rekindle those memories and enjoy a simple meal of Clam Strips is Gulf Shores. I can order them as a meal with two sides and they also offer them as an appetizer. If I just want a light lunch, after shopping near by, the appetizer hits the spot. When I order the dinner, my sides are always Hush Puppies and Fries. Yes, it makes my meal all fried foods, but it is so damn good. My service has always been attentive and friendly. Just in case you did not know, this business is locally and black owned. So get out and support this business.

The inside feels like a small town restuarant. They have a huge bar with TONS of options. We didn't do any drinking, but it's definitely a good spot for it. I imagine weekend evenings are a blast here. Their menu is pretty extensive, something for everyone. My husband got the pulled pork, and it had really great flavor. Super tender too. I got the fried beef tacos and they were so unique and tasty, I loved the bam bam sauce on them. Their servings are perfect size too. Service was attentive the whole time. Such a good experience, if we lived in the area we would definitely recommend it!

It's the rare occasion when I get to visit a restaurant that was featured on the TV show "Diners,…read moreDrive-ins and Dives," and it's a true privilege. I don't take it lightly. I spent a lot of time preparing. My mom even made me a special outfit. Remember, in the movie Goodfellas, when Joe Pesci thought he was about to become a made guy? It was kind of like that. Fortunately, I wasn't led into an empty room where I was promptly shot in the back of the head. (Whew!) I was conscious of the potential for violence at Hwy 61 Roadhouse, because its name--and the overall vibe--calls to mind the classic Patrick Swayze movie from the 1980s, which was in fact set in Missouri. I was ready to punch my way out of there, if necessary. The crowd here skews older, and it occurred to me that I may have been able to take out quite a few of them on my own. There was live music, and the band called to mind something you might see in a circa-'97 Christopher Guest movie, or Marty and Bobbi Culp. It gets loud, to the point where you can't hear what the person across the table from you is saying. You might consider bringing a date here, if you'd prefer not having a conversation. A guy from my running group loves this place and spoke highly of the BBQ Spaghetti. Normally, I wouldn't eat anything like that, but this guy seems like he might know ball when it comes to delicious restaurant meals, if you catch my drift. Turns out, he wasn't wrong. It wasn't just good, this might be the way to eat pulled pork. I'd make it at home, except that store-bought barbecue sauce is disgustingly sweet and processed-tasting, and it wouldn't be worth trying to make my own. I toyed with the idea of getting a burger, which is a safe go-to in restaurants in areas where the spice level is often inquired about, but I've eaten so many of them lately. Then I saw that they carry a Shrimp Po Boy. It seemed like the perfect choice. Shrimp Po Boys are never not good, even the one they used to carry at Popeyes during Lent back in the pre-chicken sandwich era, and this place supposedly specializes in Cajun food. It didn't disappoint... for the most part. It was a bit bread-forward for my liking. Some places hollow out the bread a little bit, to make room for the fillings. Hwy 61 doesn't, and they use a weirdly large roll. I love bread, so this wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there was nothing particularly special about this bread. They load you up on shrimp, which are fried hard, like chicken wings from a hood Chinese place. It makes for a satisfying crunch. The lettuce and tomatoes provided a fresh, healthy-seeming contrast, and the remoulade is just spicy enough to keep things interesting. I'm definitely curious to try some of the other menu items, including some of the more authentic Cajun selections--the etouffees, gumbos and what have you. If only I could get them to bring me a sampling of everything, "on the arm." I'd show up in backwards sunglasses and tell them I'm there filming a TV show, but alas, they've already been featured on a TV show, and I wouldn't want to run the risk of having to actually fight someone.

The spaghetti was blander than I remember too. I thought the sauce used to be spicier. We'll have to give them another try. The restaurant is decorated with a fun vibe.

Great food! I've…read morebeen here several times during boating season including once for a 4th of July party. They have a huge dock which is nice for those with boats (I recommend reserving a space of any holiday weekends/summer weekends to make sure you have a space as it can get packed). Downstairs there's seating, showers, bathrooms, and a pool. Upstairs there's both an outdoor & indoor bar as well as outdoor patio and indoor seating. When it gets busy be prepared to wait for a spot as most people linger & drink. I love that there's the outdoor bar so you can at least grab a drink while you wait. The food & drinks are responsibly priced. Service can vary as sometimes we have a waiter that's on it and super fast & efficient and other times we aren't checked on and have gone to the bar for more drinks since we couldn't find out waiter. For food I definitely recommend the shrimp poboy! Overall a great place to go for some good food & drinks at a decent price. Will continue coming back every season.
