5/5 -- A Ponchatoula Gem You Have to Try…read more If you ever find yourself anywhere near Ponchatoula, do yourself a favor and stop at Toula Burger on W Pine Street. I walked in expecting a good burger... I walked out questioning why every other burger in my life hasn't been held to this standard. From the jump, the vibe feels like what a small-town Louisiana burger spot should be: warm, welcoming, and buzzing with people who clearly know they're in for something special. You can tell the crew cares -- not just about making food, but about creating a place the community is proud of. I ordered the signature burger, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the kind of bite that makes you pause. Perfectly seasoned beef, cooked exactly how I asked, layered with toppings that taste thoughtfully chosen rather than thrown together. The bun held everything like a champ -- soft enough to enjoy, sturdy enough to keep the whole experience tidy. It's the little things, and they nail every one. The fries? Golden, salty, addictive. The kind of fries you keep eating even after you're full because "just one more" somehow becomes ten. What really stood out, though, was the service. Ponchatoula is known for its hospitality, but the folks at Toula Burger take it to another level. Genuine smiles, real conversations, and you can feel the pride they have in what they've built. It's refreshing. To the owners: Y'all created something special here. You've got a spot that feels rooted in community but tastes like it belongs on a national "must-try" list. I'd love to know more about the inspiration behind the menu -- especially what led you to craft a burger that balanced richness and freshness so perfectly. Keep doing what you're doing; the attention to detail shows. I'll absolutely be back -- and I'll be bringing people with me.

I'm really sad that I could not give this cute burger place 5 stars. Here is why. This is my first…read moretime here, but my husband has been here a couple of other times. He is a burger aficionado. While the hand patted Burger is fantastic, my husband commented that every single time he has been there the fries are lukewarm. I opted for a hand battered shrimp Poboy. The batter was really good. Served freshly fried. If you're weird about veins in your shrimp, these are not deveined shrimp. The problem is that the bread to shrimp ratio is off. It's a really thick bread. The restaurant atmosphere is so quaint and homey. The staff was so friendly. I can chalk the bread thing up to personal preference but they need to do better with hot fries.

Definitely looks like a vintage diner. Booths along one wall, metal tables, checkered theme throughout. The floors were clean, the booth was clean as well. My only ick was the glass doors and windows could use some cleaning throughout on a regular daily basis and it would sparkle like a diamond! A very nice young man gave us menus and promptly got us drinks. We ordered a small onion ring for an appetizer and it did not disappoint. Medium sliced onions, lightly breaded and piping hot. For our meal hubby got a side salad with thousand island, an open face roast beef and gravy sandwich and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. I got the Gene Autry which is a chicken fried steak dinner. Served with mashed potatoes with cream gravy and a side salad. It took a little bit for the food to come out, but that's because they cook to order. Everything was piping hot. Large portions, we both had leftovers to bring home. Known for their hand scooped and soft serve ice cream and desserts. For our dessert we ordered a Hershey's chocolate ice cream cone. Hand scooped, delicious! Price wise, it cost us $50 including 20% tip. I did read some negative reviews but did not find any of these things on our visit. Will definitely come back!

However, we were soon told, after paying, that we would not be crossing the highway to eat at CFA. So we tried to cancel our orders and get a refund as one does. Unfortunately, no one was able to get a refund just because it was "a large volume of orders," really only about 20 orders. We never stepped foot in the store and the food was not beginning to be prepared, so there should be no reason we cannot get our money back.

I suppose they do this because the fries are the basic frozen fries you'd get in the high school cafeteria. I would have found them more acceptable if they were served hot and crispy. The sliders start at 3.99 each. I ate two, but really could have had three. Service was great. The three staff members I encountered were very nice and helpful. Expect to pay $15 - $20 for lunch. In my opinion, it's overpriced for what you get. I'm not likely to go back unless they offer some kind of coupon or discount. The atmosphere is nice, though. And I like the covered outdoor seating area.

On my most recent visit, I ordered the hot Italian sub, which comes with lettuce, but lettuce was not on the sandwich. If the staff working there would focus on preparing a sandwich based on their menu instead of chatting with each other and acting as if they don't want to be there, maybe I would visit this location again. To add, there were only 3 people in the line. Be better.

Having lived in Austin and being obsessed with BBQ I'd call myself a little bit of a BBQ perfectionist. Anyone who has done it themselves knows to get it right you can't rush it, takes good prep, cooking process, and resting/proper finishing. Salty Joe's definitely focuses on all of those aspects of making good barbecue and the finished product is tasty. Their Brisket is juicy, smokey, and rich beef flavors, the ribs are tender and seasoned well, and the pulled pork is a good balance of prim flavor and smokiness. Don't skip on the drinks (margaritas are delicious) or the desert

My buddy and I stopped in here one Saturday for lunch and decided to split an order of Philly cheesesteak eggrolls and a sampler platter. The eggrolls were solid and came with a cheese dipping sauce. There were 3 of these that were cut in half so really enough for 3-4 people to get a taste. The sampler platter came with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with 2 sides. We got the beans and corn pudding. The corn pudding is a misnomer as this is really cornbread. Still good though. The meats were all pretty good with the brisket being better than I expected. Their sauces were not my favorite. I think one had some sort of blackberry flavor, but I could have that wrong. The food is pretty good; the service was on point and the place itself is fun and funky.

I loved it then and was so excited as I was making the same trip last night to find the familiar favorite on the blue roadside sign. While this was a different location, it was still just as good as I remembered. It's so nice to have a place to stop that's not just Taco Bell!! This location is easy to get to from the highway and the drive thru is easily accessible. The woman working the drive thru was very kind and patient. I ordered the El Classico and made it a combo with beans and rice. I love the cheese they use on their tacos! The beans they make also have such a good and unique flavor. It was around $25 for my combo plate order and my husband's burrito. While I can't testify to how good his tasted since I didn't try it, I will say that it was huge. My husband had it made with chipotle mayo and he did love that. I'm a big fan of the restaurant overall and this location was good! I will definitely be stopping by on my way back home to Texas.

My only complaint is that the extra pepperoni is very inconsistent. I always order it, but sometimes it looks like I got the upgrade and other times it barely seems like anything extra was added.

Service was friendly, fast, and the food was hot and fresh. My son and I both ordered the 4 piece with fries. It came with a biscuit and of course a pop. A Pepsi, which is superior to a Coke but rare to find in restaurants in Louisiana. A plus. The chicken was freshly made and hot. Also, we took not that the tenders were much larger than the other chicken tender place with the bland sauce and soggy fries ... The chicken was seasoned, it looked like it was marinated as we could see under the breading something that looked like hot sauce. It was very good! At the other place, we have to order their largest meal plus two tenders to fill up. The four piece at Bojangles filled us up. The fries were hot, crispy, seasoned and did I say CRISPY???!!!!!!!!?!!?! I was craving Bojangles the following day but it is almost an hour away. Will come back. Please open in Baton Rouge.
