Shrimp Etouffee & Alligator Bites are two of the items on the table.
Baby S.

While visiting West Monroe we found Scott's Catfish & Seafood menu online. The food sounded good and the prices were reasonable. So, my daughter and I decided to give it a try. When first entering the restaurant you are surrounded by fantastic images relating to the city. After ordering, our food was brought to our table quickly and it was very delicious. I'm not sure where they get their bread but it was seriously extra good. While ordering our food I saw a desert they offered called "buttermilk pie". I have never heard of buttermilk pie so I was pretty intrigued. I couldn't get it off of my mind while eating. So, no longer being able to finish my food I went to the counter and asked for a to-go box and a piece of the buttermilk pie. When we got back to our hotel I tried a bite and I was pretty happy with my decision to try it. The next time I am in West Monroe I am definitely stopping there to eat and I would suggest them to anyone. Just make sure you're aware that they are closed on Sunday & Monday!

REAL CATFISH!! FRESH SHRIMP!! Y'all, I have the pickiest husband ever when it comes to shrimp and catfish. He LOVED it here at Scott's Catfish & Seafood. The seasoning was perfect, the food was hot and fresh, and the service was impeccable! Jada was all smiles and service and added that much more to our first experience here. We will be coming back every time we are in town! #hotspot #fresh

Very thin, greasy filets.

First off: the staff here was amazing. They were all kind and on top of everything. My husband ordered a three piece catfish basket and my son had the kids chicken strips. I intended on getting the salad bar but they no longer offer it. Instead I got a very small baked potato and a side salad with ranch. They bring a basket of yummy hush puppies to the table to start your meal. The french fries were delicious and we all enjoyed them. However, when the fries are thicker than the $15.00 catfish; we've got a problem. The fish was very greasy in a non-appetizing way. It really was a bummer. We really wanted to like Scott's. They look like they're going to be delicious but sadly it just didn't turn out that way.

Our looks and tastes good

Their prices have gone up but you still get the same quantity. Staff is a hit or a miss. Clean environment. Food is ok for a diner.

Honestly, food was fine! But was overpriced and the portions are itty bitty. Sad to say it was a let down.

Sammy Crawfish King 2 - 3lbs crawfish, 1/2 shrimp, 1 potatoe and 1 corn for $37.99. This was when crawfish cost $10/lb. Maybe cheaper now. Good for seafood fix.

We stopped in late--about half an hour before closing on a Saturday night. Noticing that the dining…read morechairs were all being put for up for night, we cracked the door open and stood gingerly behind it as we asked if they were still open? "Sure! The dining area is closed but come on in!" Complete newbies to Louisiana food, we asked for suggestions, especially since we had some kids looking skeptically at the buffet options. Talk about "Southern hospitality"!--the ladies behind the counter truly took care of us, giving helpful suggestions and throwing in a few extras because we were visiting the area. And then, even though the dining area was closed, she offered it to us (a family of 7) again because she said, "we want to make sure we take care of people who aren't from around here." Take care of us they did! The food was so delicious it converted three of my five children to Cajun cuisine--quite an impressive feat. (We picked up Chick-fil-A for the other two on our way out of town ) Highly recommend! Great taste for a great value. This was our wonderful welcome to Louisiana!

I've eaten here several times. Crawfish were good , they were just really small as it was early…read moreseason. It's definitely not white tablecloth but serves its purpose. It's a bit pricey $10.99 a pound but I think that was due to it being early season. I'll eat here again but there are better options in Monroe

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

Second time here and still delicious…read more We tried to go Friday and the parking was insane, that's probably my only complaint about the entire experience . We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!
