    Crawfish platter

    This place was the most pleasant surprise! The atmosphere is so much fun! The restaurant sets on Lake D'Arbonne which is a nice view. The crawfish were perfectly seasoned! The staff are pleasant. The bar has about everything you could want including a great selection of daiquiris! On Fridays and Saturdays they have live music which was the perfect entertainment for our get away!

    XCEPTIONAL FOOD & ATMOSPHERE! I had the surf & turf. It was delicious. I'm pretty picky when it comes to steak & it was great! Jim had the boiled shrimp & we shared boiled crawfish. It was all seasoned to perfection. Definitely a must go to when in town!

    Grilled shrimp
    Family M.

    I took a large party there as a business outing at the suggestion of someone local in my party. I had the grilled gulf shrimp and they were very good. Most of the party either had a steak or crawfish. Those with steaks ordered medium rare reported their steaks came back medium, but that's not a deal breaker. The crawfish were seasoned just right (not too salty). The ambience and vibe is very cool. What wasn't cool was the eating area, but someone eventually turned on the AC. The only thing I wouldn't reorder would be the boudin egg rolls: I love both egg rolls and boudin balls, but their culinary involvement with each other should be limited. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Recommended.

    The menu 2020!

    I had the absolute pleasure of exploring the local street food scene in Ruston today, and I…read morestumbled upon a venue that is quite simply one of the best in the area. It possesses such an authentic, genuine street food charm. From the outside, the facade evokes a beautifully nostalgic, turn-of-the-century 1900s aesthetic that immediately caught my eye. Upon stepping inside, I was greeted by an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is wonderfully unique the ceiling is completely adorned with banknotes, which makes one wonder if it's a clever nod to local tradition! It adds such a marvelous sense of character to the space. The service was prompt and thoroughly lovely. To drink, I sampled the Ponchatoulas Peach Tea, which was nothing short of spectacular perfectly sweet and refreshing. For my meal, I spoke with the waiter and settled on the crawfish stuffing. It was prepared beautifully and tasted absolutely divine. I am completely charmed by this establishment. A perfect, five-star experience through and through I will most certainly be returning

    The service was great and fast which we appreciated. They came by often enough to be pleasant and…read morenot overbearing. During one of the early visits we had to tell the waitress that the seafood gumbo needed to be heated up because it was at room temperature. I'm hopeful that they read these comments because another Yelper called it tepid temperature which I agree. This shouldn't happen at all! The flavor of the gumbo was fine but wished it was slightly thicker with more ingredients. The seafood fried sampler was fantastic! Perfectly fried and clean oil. The shrimp was plump and delicious. Overall a good restaurant that needs some attention to food temperature. I wanted to watch a NFL game on Fox and the poor waitress tried to change the channel but wasn't able to. They have TV's all over the restaurant but only ESPN?! It's a pseudo sports bar with no other sports channels.

    I'm so grateful that Yelp led us here!…read more Fleur Deli is located inside of BonTemps gas station right off of Hwy20 and is definitely NOT your average gas station food! They have a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, wrap & po'boys to choose from along with sides. They also have a counter with some house made ready to go food. I even saw a big pot of gumbo. I got a TURKEY BLT with no cheese. It comes on a fresh jalapeño cheddar bread that was not spicy - just very good. The turkey was shaved turkey with a healthy topping of bacon & lettuce. The BLT spread seems like a mayo spread with chopped bacon, tomato, & herbs. It was really light and good. My husband loved his SHRIMP PO BOY. He said the breading on the shrimp was delicious & bread was good. Our only regret was not getting fries or onion rings to try. There are several tables to eat inside and a couple right out front. There appeared to be several locals coming in to pick up food while I was waiting about 10-15 minutes for our food. I would highly recommend stopping here to eat vs your average gas station or fast food.

The PoBoy was nice size and full of popcorn shrimp. The bun was decent. For a quick bite right off the road I will say that the seating area was very comfortable and very clean.

Edit - Went back again the very nect day and added fries. Super good.
