    Fried Okra with homemade ranch-good stuff
    Caitlin R.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Not much around in the area and a restaurant attached to a gas station and casino seemed a bit sketchy. So glad we stopped in because we have our pull behind RV and parking is limited. The inside was actually really nice, not what you'd imagine for a greasy spoon type place. The breakfast menu is small but you can order it all day and get lunch or dinner at 8am. They have a real coffee bar and your traditional pot the waitress brings over. We started with fried okra for $4 (why not at 8am) It was served with homemade ranch. My husband and I both got the traditional breakfast platter and coffee and paid less than $35 for our meal with tip. We excited through the casino but refrained from losing any money.

    Let me start off by saying how delightful this place is. The restaurant is super clean and very well maintained. We walked in and were greeted and seated quickly with our orders placed. We shared a bowl of delicious sausage and chicken gumbo. I had a beautiful, bright, colorful salad with crispy croutons, sautéed broccoli (that was absolutely fantastic), and the Crawfish Trap. The trap is a grilled fish fillet topped with crawfish etouffee. My husband had the special, which was fried chicken with amazing crispy, cruchy skin, cornbread dressing, and yams. All the food came out hot with so much flavor, the Louisiana flavors that I love and crave. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating and provided me with a to-go cup of sweet tea for the road. The restaurant is located next to a truck stop right off of I-10. So, if you are a truck driver like me, there's plenty of parking to stop in for a bite to eat.

    The new menu is different so look at pictures.. We love this place for breakfast and seafood!

    Nice place. The staff were very pleasant. The wait for the food was very long. I must say, it was definitely worth the wait. The Cajun Omelette is so delicious. It was cooked to perfection and the portion size was adequate. With the Cajun omelette, you can choose between shrimp or crawfish. I had never tried crawfish so I did and I am so glad I did. After eating a wonderful meal, we went to the casino lounge next door. 2/3 of us won money. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely come back when I am driving to Louisiana from Texas.

    Our party of four enjoyed our lunch at Rice Palace. Their filet mignon with green beans was delicious. The place was clean and quiet. The service was nice and friendly. You would not expect this quality at the gas station. Five stars, really good.

    Stopped for a nice early dinner on our way to Florida. Waitress was super friendly and was even very concerned that we were leaving right away after eating to avoid the storm that was getting ready to blow in.

    Excellent Cat Fish, My Favorite Place To Stop & Eat, Coming Or Going, I Tell Other Drivers About This Gem, Love The New Updated Look Inside.

    This was a great roadside find on my way hone to New Orleans. The menu has a great selection all the Cajun cuisine you would expect and some other diner favorites. They had chicken fried steak, hamburger steak catfish platter. 3 types of gumbo. I ordered the chicken sausage gumbo and the waitress reminded me about the all you can eat buffet, which was2 dollars cheaper with more variety, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese fried chicken, and rice for the gumbo. The Rice Palace has great home style cooking food. The flavors are really good the feeling you get is going to. Family or friends house to eat. This was a really good food experience. I hope to come back and try another great dish like the catfish platter. Stop in and try a great meal.

    Breakfast -- cheese omelet
    Jay W.

    We made an unexpected stop at Rice Palace for breakfast. We hadn't planned the stop but were caught in a nasty thunderstorm. Just before the exit we noticed a big parking lot and it looked like easy on and off to the freeway for our motorhome. We ordered breakfast and since we were drenched from the rain one of the servers offered me her umbrella to get my jacket out of our vehicle. That was very nice indeed. Our breakfast was good. I ordered the omelet and my husband ordered eggs and toast. Breakfast was cooked perfectly. We had no complaints about that or about the service. It was definitely a good place to stop. Had we thought about it earlier we might have even planned.

    Crab and shrimp pasta, chicken and sausage gumbo, buffalo cheese stuffed balls.

    The Crawfish Trap is my favorite dish and you get a lot for the money. I ordered one on Waitr and got $5 off using code Local5!
