So dang good. And I had a burger with crawfish cheese sauce that was thick, flavorful & juicy. But the absolute best part of this place is that they have an incredible selection of gluten free choices. I've NEVER been to a restaurant that had gluten free fried shrimp, and they didn't taste gluten free at all. Tender & juicy, and the breading was delicious, unlike most gluten free food. Gluten free bread pudding... you heard me. Add in a full bar with great specialty drinks. Wow.

If you love Swagat, you have to try Gunpowder. It's owned by the same people, so you already know…read morethe flavor is there -- but Gunpowder brings its own twist. The dishes feel familiar yet completely refreshed with unique ingredient tweaks that really elevate everything. Every bite felt intentional, bold, and full of depth. It's the perfect blend of traditional Indian flavors with a modern edge. The vibe is also a little more upscale and edgy than your typical Indian restaurant, which I loved. It's different enough to feel exciting, but still comforting if you're a fan of classic Indian food. Easily a new favorite.

Very clean. Love they have booths. Did I mention the food yet? This was my 2nd visit and tried out…read morethe Gunpowder Chicken Biryani dish, level spicy. (Not the Indian spicy which is considered "very spicy") & it was perfect in every way. The sauce is not sweet like butter chicken but reminded me of chicken 65 flavors as it was also served with a slice of lemon and topped with purple onions. The biryani (seasoned) basmati rice was added flavor. I'll definitely be back for this again. The portion was enough for 2 servings. Oh it came with a side or carrot & onion raita ( homemade yogurt) to help cool off the mouth when eating a spicy dish.I love raita and I would have enjoyed more of it but it was a nice surprise. I didnt order naan (as the rice was filling enough as a starch) but next time I will because why not.

I cannot remember the names. You received a drink of your choice with the AYCE menu of which a bottle of sake is an option. There also dessert. Various ice cream selections and fried bananas or fried Oreos. Food was delivered efficiently to our table once ordered and water glass was always filled without asking. The décor is welcoming with a cherry blossom tree theme. Lighting is conducive to easily reading the menu.

Do not think this is going to be excellent hibachi. I ordered chicken hibachi and there was cartledge and a bone on my chicken. The chicken pieces were not as small as I would have liked. It wasn't made with love. The yum yum sauce was too sweet and doesn't pair well with the hibachi. I will return to try THEIR sushi, but do not go for HIBACHI.

Reno's on the River is one of those places that instantly makes you slow down and enjoy where you…read moreare. Sitting right on the river, the views alone are worth the stop--especially around sunset when the water and boats set the perfect Louisiana backdrop. The food is where Reno's really shines, especially the buffet. It's well worth it--hot, fresh, and packed with Southern and seafood favorites that are full of flavor. Everything tastes homemade, not rushed, and the selection makes it easy to find something for everyone. You can tell they keep it stocked and take pride in what they serve. The drinks are cold, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's the kind of place where you can pull up by boat or car and feel right at home. Friendly staff, a laid-back crowd, and live music on the right nights give it that true river-life vibe that keeps people coming back. If you're in Maurepas--or anywhere nearby--Reno's on the River is absolutely worth the stop, especially if you catch the buffet

We heard they had live music and a dance floor. We also heard they had outdoor seating. But it…read moreseems Friday is karaoke night, and the hostess told us they didn't have outdoor seating (although there is a huge deck outside with lots of picnic tables, and a bar and lots of stools lined up overlooking the river). But no dance floor and no outdoor seating. Well, anyway, we looked over the menu and decided to try the buffet. There was some good stuff there, and some mediocre. Apparently, the locals love it. They were coming in pretty thick by the time we left. Lots of fried seafood options (including alligator, soft shell crab, and frog legs), boiled shrimp, baked catfish, flounder, and a lot of other meat options. You don't see sauce piquant very often, so I had to try the deer sauce piquant from the buffet. It had good flavor, but not much "piquant." Had to add a little Crystal hot sauce. And the meat was tough and chewy. Needed a few more hours in the pot. The flounder was very good. Best thing I tried. The "Cajun style pork" was good, too - chunks of pork and smoky andouille with pineapple and oranges. Very good. The frog legs, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, and alligator were all good, too. The fried catfish was muddy and dirty tasting (hate when that happens). If you're hungry, this is a nice place to get your fill of south Louisiana specialties - I could make an entire meal of the frog legs and Cajun style pork.

The burger was gray and the meat didn't look entirely appetizing, but it was good. Flavored patty, nice dressings and the toasted bun was perfect! The onion rings were great. No a strong onion, but perfectly fried. Hubby was happy with his meal as well. The etoufee was different but good. We will be back.
