The buzzer went off and I walked up to pick up the order. Both plates had 6, that's right 6 tiny shrimp on the plate. A small cup of mashed potatoes and 3 small thin slices of squash. I don't believe it would have filled up a 5 year old. Sadly very very disappointed. Got a Side and a small piece of cake. Total with a tip $71.68. Absolute ridiculous.

Big chunks of chicken and okra filled the cup, along with perfectly cooked rice. BBQ shrimp was salty and spicy, pretty good but I wouldn't specifically seek it out if we came back to town. Our burgers were cooked perfectly, with a crunchy crust and tender insides . Service was fast and friendly!

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

We got the chicken and sausage gumbo, side salad and baked potato. The gumbo is not southern Louisiana taste that we're used to but it is a dark roux and had a very good flavor. The garden salad was great and the ranch was good. The baked potato was cooked just right. Hush puppies come complimentary and are very good. We sat out on the porch which has a bit of A/C so it was very pleasant with a nice view of the river. The pricing is such that we couldn't go every week but definitely for any special occasion or nice supper. If you're in town and want a supper you walk away from feeling very happy with all your choices for the night, go here.

So whenever I'm passing through, stopping at Billy's Boudin & Cracklin or Randall's Cajun Foods is a must for me. I went to Randall's today. About 5 months ago, I stopped in and the cracklings had clearly been sitting for a while, they were tough. I explained my concern and even offered to pay extra just to have a fresh batch cooked. After going back and forth, they finally made them fresh, and they were exactly what I wanted. Fast forward to today, I called ahead and specifically asked for fresh cracklings. The young man on the phone said okay, no problem. I walk in 5 minutes later and there's already a bag waiting. I asked where they came from and she told me they were cooked that morning. That was an immediate no for me. If I'm spending $21 for a pound, I don't want tough, sitting all day cracklings. Go ahead and put those back. I ended up trying the boudin balls, big mistake. You could tell they had been sitting too. At that point, I didn't even have the energy to go back and forth or ask for a manager. Honestly, it should be a given. This picture is pepper jack boudin ball. Look how dry it is . Needless to say, I won't be back.

The shrimp and sausage appetizer was another standout, with both cooked well and tasting great. We also tried the smoked salmon, which was fresh and delicious. For the main course, I had the ribeye topped with their house sauce. It reminded me of a house-made version of A1 steak sauce--rich, tangy, and a great complement to the steak. The sides were just as enjoyable. The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, but the grits were the real surprise. They were outstanding and easily my favorite side of the meal. Overall, the food was well-prepared, flavorful, and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a quality steakhouse with excellent appetizers and delicious sides, Okaloosa is definitely worth a visit.
