4 lbs of crawfish
Rick L.

Quick service, waitress checked in with me several times and the crawfish tasted amazing. Great way to kick off the season.

On a recent trip to Lake Charles, we stopped by Seafood Palace for dinner our first night in town. Located 10-15 minutes from L'Auberge, Seafood Plalace is one of the most popular restaurants in the area on Yelp. So we were definitely looking for our Cajun fix. Upon arriving, we parked in their lot and walked into this casual restaurant. They have several TVs throughout which is always an added bonus to watch some sports. From there, I was impressed with the unique menu which extends beyond your typical Cajun fare. Case in point: duck tenders. Not something I've ever seen before. I've seen your traditional duck and even duck wings. But breaded tenders? Sign me up. A little chewy as you would expect but still delicious. Or grilled gator. You often see fried gator. But you don't typically see grilled gator which was great as it allows you to taste the meat better than the fried variety. Along with that, I also got a side of fries, a roll, and a beer. Service was standard. You then pay at the counter when you leave. I always appreciate an adventurous meal!

If you're ever in or passing through Lake Charles this is your go to for authentic Louisiana/Southern seafood! Service was top tier and the owner David was the sweetest.

Shrimp Poboy
Melissa W.

Stopped in on our way out from a casino trip. We both had a shrimp poboy with no complaints! Fries were fresh and hot as well. Local joint, place was clean and service was efficient and friendly! I'm sure we will be back on our next casino trip.

Boiled Crawfish
Billy R.

As always the only place I go when I'm in Lake Charles. The hometown atmosphere is everything. The staff as always super friendly and the service is top notch. All of their food is good, however, boiled crabs are my favorite.

Stopped in to Steamboat Bills on a recent trip to Lousiana. This place definitely has that…read moreLouisiana Cajun charm. The restaurant was decorated as you would expect a good Cajun restaurant to be decorated in. Service was nice and friendly and you order at the register and they bring your food to you. Service was great even after we got our food. A server asked us if we needed refills and if we wanted them in to-go cups, which scored bonus points with me! Here's what I had on this lunch visit: The crawfish pistollette (8/10) which was a small appetizer that was bread with some crawfish etouffee on top. Bread was nicely cooked and the etouffee on top was delicious. Solid starter! The Cajun Cooking Sampler (9/10) - this was a sampler with 3 amazing dishes. I got the shrimp and crab gumbo, which is classic Louisiana gumbo and it was outstanding! The sampler also had a bowl of crawfish etouffee which was good but felt it needed a bit more etoufee to mix with the rice. Lastly, the special of the day was fish courtbouillon which was a fish in tomato based sauce over rice. I really enjoyed this as the fish has a great texture and there was a lot of flavor in the sauce. Overall, solid lunch meal in the $ to $$ range depending on what you order. Recommend you trying it for a great Cajun experience!

From the direction we drove in from it looks like a tiny parking lot with 10 spaces. Someone was pulling out so we got front row parking. There is a MASSIVE parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. Saturday Night 6:07- party of 2. The order and seating process is unusual. Place your order at the counter and they tell you which area to sit in. We were eating at 6:17. That's unreal. Alligator bites ($13) Shrimp tacos ($10) and Shrimp w/ crab gumbo. ($10) 2x miller lite ($7) dinner for 2- $45 Everything was absolutely amazing. I've read reviews where the people complained that the food was bland. And other people complained that the foods were too salty. I have zero complaints. We were completely satisfied. Thanks to Apple Maps and Yelp for helping us make this decision. We were only in for a wedding and wanted a unique experience that was local- not a chain.

I was looking for a Cajun seafood fix in Lake Charles and thoroughly searched Yelp and saw that…read morethis place was rated the highest overall. Leonard's did not disappoint! The service was to-go style ordering and you can request to eat there. You'll pick up your food at the counter and sit at an available table. Now for the food. The ambience was an old place with a dining table to sit at. It's a bit old, but you can never judge a book by its cover. I'm from Texas so I know Cajun. This place is rated the highest and I see why! The food was absolutely amazing. My only concern was that the place wasn't as packed as I thought it would be for a highly rated restaurant. That scared me and almost made me second-guess coming there. I risked it out, and the reward was lovely! I had the seafood platter and everything was nicely seasoned. To add fuel to the season fire, a season shaker was available. But you didn't need it. If anything, you'll need some condiments to your preference. One thing I didn't like was that there weren't any catfish available. That's what made me give this place a 4.5! Gotta have catfish in Louisiana! Its a requirement! Let me tell y'all about the seafood pasta! It's one of the best pastas I ever had! Overall, the food was lovely from a place that has part of the French Quarter in its name. I will ABSOLUTELY & DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Leonard's Food Quarters and WILL be back whenever I'm in the area! PS, I have pictures, but for some reason I can't find them. I will update this soon with pics.
