T-Johnny's!!! First visit by Natchitoches native, now Texan. Came home to down some crawfish &…read moreshrimp. Let me tell you 'bout this stuff. You're not a true Louisianan if you don't crave this cuisine. And sometimes other places that offer it make it too pricey or too spicy or too over-done. Not here! 'Boy howdy,' did this spot get it right & sail the flavor boat around the world without stopping!! Quick & friendly service. Lots of options with a la cart goodness. Seasoning that was JUST RIGHT!! Heat and warmth lasted throughout the meal so mine didn't get cold quickly. Sassy (which tastes buttery and salty) or Swamp (think Yum-Yum) sauces are fine selections to dredge the goods. My goodness, I forgot all about the competition across town at first bite. My crawfish claws and tails were SO fresh and tender I could easily crack it or pull out the meat and suck the umami juices. And when sucking the heads, the clear hint of lemon was there, just slap yo' mama already!! As we sat and ate, car after car after car pulled in and this was mid-afternoon, no lunch rush. People have been getting the memo that this Cajun spot is the place to go. Plus, the shrimp are YYYYUGE!!!! Only down side: not enough places to eat. Just the bar. The stools with no backs are hurting the hiney after an hour-long feeding and a thorough cleaning had to be requested as well as some paper towels/napkins at the minimal bar area to sit and chow. May I suggest more open and spaced seating arrangements could be added? T-Johnny's will be my go-to in Natchitoches in the quadruple parish area & it should be yours too--totally worth it!

And they sat us in a corner with a bunch of trees blocking our view. Dang it. I guess the service dog had a little to do with it. And - honestly the deck was pretty full. We decided to share a couple appetizers. Cajun Eggrolls 3 eggrolls stuffed with crawfish tails, cheese, alligator sausage, peppers and spices and served with one regular dip of choice $15 Pepperjack Boudin Balls 3-I-Johnny's pork boudin balls stuffed with pepperjack cheese $14 And a cup of Crawfish Etouffee Made from scratch; A blend of fresh vegetables and spices cooked down into a perfectly seasoned sauce with farm raised Louisiana crawfish tails served over a bed of rice $8 Everything was very tasty. Well seasoned . Portion sizes were adequate. Bella our server was friendly and efficient. Our visit lasted about an hour. When we left at 2pm , nearly everyone had cleared out. So I felt free to wander around taking pictures and enjoying the view.

I went with family or I would have left that nice menu items was crap all they had was boiled shrimp and crawfish. I got the shrimp and disappointment was understatement. Not easy to peel. No flavor at all not even salt potatoes only flavor salt I forgot a piece of sausage which tasted like sausage definitely not anything special but I wish I could play with just a flavor of food. That was absolutely the worst shrimp I've ever eaten in my entire life.

As per looking at the fantastic reviews, we decided to eat at mayeauxs. Walking inside was like time traveling back into the 70s antique cowboy era. We were promptly sat at a quaint little table and greeted by our waitress. For dinner we both chose the 8oz fillet. I had asparagus as a side and she had Mac & cheese. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The sides were to the upmost excellence. We got out of there paying way less than I thought we would for such an amazing experience. Only $270!! What a steal! We will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant, let's hope next time it will be to celebrate a win. (We lost the tournament)

We were seated by a hostess and then learned the girl who was staring was being trained on our table. No changing table in the restroom and no kids menu, so cannot recommend for people with children. Overall, the lack of hospitality and dismissive staff is going to keep us from going back.

Party of 5, we ordered the Shrimp and Baked Potato Combo, Swamp Platter, and the Crawfish Etoufee…read more They were all subpar and disappointing. The potatoes came out lukewarm with very little butter, the etoufee was lukewarm and the platter was overcooked and the french fries were soggy in what tasted like old oil. The frog legs in the platter were pitifullly small. The butter tasted fake and oily. The waiter had a difficult time giving us the condiments we needed for some reason and there was no sour cream. What restaurant in existence doesn't serve sour cream?! This is a tourist destination, correct? Where is the pride in the famous Louisiana cooking? How this restaurant is still open I'll never understand. Steer clear of this place as it's way overpriced for the bad quality of food served.

I had catfish with crawfish sauce and substituted the au gratin potatoes for the french fries. The catfish was so salty and so breaded. I enjoyed the crispiness of it, but it was not outstanding to say the least and the crawfish sauce was rotelle dip with some crawfish in it. Was I ever disappointed!! A friend ordered corn and shrimp bisque that looked like squash soup of some sort and not fresh. She was not able to eat it. I do not enjoy giving a bad review, but I had waited years to eat there. I lived away from the area. We were a large party, but we waited one and a half hour for our food. I would love to go back and try again, but I really was so disappointed. I don't think I would go. The pasta looked great but pasta is not what the restaurant was about I thought.
