After a six-hour drive from South Texas, we walked into Orlandeaux's Café hungry for real Louisiana…read morecooking not fast food, and immediately felt like we had found the right place. The welcoming atmosphere, lively vibe, and inviting aromas set the tone for a great meal. The food was packed with bold, satisfying flavor, the portions were generous, and the drinks were refreshing and hit the spot. It's the kind of place where you can relax, settle in, and enjoy good food and good company. What made the experience even more special was the history behind the restaurant. As you enter the main foyer, you'll find a chest filled with original menus, newspaper clippings, pictures, and other memorabilia that tell the story of the three men who started Orlandeaux's Café. It's truly amazing to see how much history is preserved there and makes this a must-try spot for anyone who appreciates great food and a meaningful story. My only disappointment was that they didn't have chargrilled oysters. Still, everything else came together for a memorable visit. Next time, I'm going to see if I can sit down with the manager to hear more about the history of this special place. If you're craving flavorful Louisiana cooking in a comfortable, enjoyable setting, Orlandeaux's Café is well worth the stop we'll definitely be back!

Great spot for steaks and/or seafood! Nice view of the lake and the service is always top notch!…read moreHighly recommended.

We just wanted to enjoy a delightful meal on the lake. So we drove over an hour to visit Bass…read moreHaven. I think the long winding back road is inevitable no matter where you drive in from. Saturday June 27th 5:15 party of two. The gravel parking lot was full. The water was choppy. There was no wait. I ordered a ML while Jason was in the RR. I was informed that the restaurant didn't serve liquor. Sad face. Jason had the same sad face when he tried to order his own. lol We took 5 minutes to order: Jason: crab cakes $15 Me: CFS $16 All entree's are served with bean soup and unlimited salad bar The crab cakes were a little small but Jason enjoyed them . He ate everything. My CFS was so salty I couldn't even try to eat it. I flipped it over and the batter may appear burned, (it's dark!) but it is all seasoning. I boxed it up but ultimately tossed it in the garbage. Because of the hush puppies (free), and beans. And the salad bar ... I didn't leave hungry. Just disappointed. The salad bar is okay. It included salad fixings as well as potato salad and coleslaw. The restroom was 87°, but okay clean. But in the end it was too far away and didn't serve beer. We won't be back.

This is now, by far, one of my favourite places! Atmosphere, good service and solid food are the…read moremain components of a great spot, and this place ticked all the boxes. We sat on the patio, mainly because we have two small dogs, but honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The outdoor seating is literally right on the river, which is something I absolutely love. Granted, visiting in September means there are quite a few insects around, but that's just nature doing its thing! And, of course, being so close to the river comes with its little extras :) The service was absolutely impeccable. Abby, who took care of us, was attentive without being overbearing -- exactly the kind of service I appreciate. As for the food, they brought out freshly fried jalapeño hush puppies (?) (I think that's what they're called), along with fresh coleslaw and pickled goodies. They totally hit the spot! We then tried the cattle fish fillets, which was delicious and super fresh, as well as the grilled shrimp -- so good! The hand-cut fries and fried okra were also great. Honestly, I wish I lived closer so I could make this my regular weekly eating-out spot. Between the riverfront atmosphere, fantastic service and really good food, it's exactly the kind of place I love. And, of course, plenty of free parking!
