Unless you grew up in the swamplands of Louisiana, when you pull up to this truck stop cafe you…read moreprobably will just continue down the bayou and not stop. Let me try to convince you to try it first. Near the Louisiana- Texas border this cafe is attached to a truck stop and casino. The inside has a country feel to it and the staff were more than friendly. Been to my share of these kind of places and they are hit / miss at best. This one is a hit for once. The pepper jack boudin egg roll is different but worth the try. We went simple with both grilled and fried chicken and surprisingly it was good. Prices are more than reasonable and overall it was a good experience as we were pressed for time to get back on the road. Like most greasy spoons the restrooms are not great but good enough for a quick wash up. Didn't have time to play the slots but since my Cajun is a bit rusty , wasn't sure where to cash out if I won.

Service was friendly and paced well. Restroom was clean. Located right off I-10 in Louisiana close to the Texas border, so very convenient if you need to stop for a meal. Only knocking down a star because you have to navigate through casino smoke to get to the restroom; otherwise a great little hidden gem.

I don't think it's from the lack of effort it's just the supply chain has changed and the quailty of the original ingredients have changed and that just the cold hard truth. This is a good burger, not a great burger in my opinion the protocol here is order what you want and accept what they sit on the counter when they call your name - today's old fashion cheese burger was pretty good and very fresh but one burger can't meet everyone's expectations, for me there is too much mustard I want some but today it was over powering, I'd sub grilled onions for raw and luckily I definitely remembered to ask for pickles otherwise you don't get any. If you want a burger where the meat is the main ingredient order a double even then it's not overwhelming. Good Onion Rings (yes) and plenty of them a large order can feed at least three hungry people. They are served hot right from the grease so add salt and pat them dry unless you like the added grease they are probably the best you'll find eating out. Now what the same as it was from years gone by, very very reasonable prices, an extremely friendly staff I love they will carry on a conversation with the customers, if you frequent this place they will remember you and maybe ask how your mom and dad are doing that's not just great customer service that's amazing hometown service and that a very rare amenity today - yeah it's changed a little or maybe it's just that I have, so if they keep serving them burgers when I'm in the area I'll keep buying them...

So the reviews on this restaurant are good, I'm at a hotel close and they also recommended it. So…read moreI called in my order and went over shortly after. The menu has a variety, I wan ant very hungry and went with the nachos, beef and chicken. They offered me half or full, it wasn't much maybe $2 but since not so hungry I ordered half. Once there I noticed a drive thru so I went there. There is a sign on the window that says "we don't take orders from window." Or something to that effect. I pulled up and gave my name. Shortly after they brought my bill, quickly opening the window and shutting with little interaction. I wanted to ask for utensils, which I could see, but again she opened window, quickly handed it to me and shut window. Figuring I could get them from my hotel I went on my way. So the box was packed with chips, it had ground meat, beans, cheese, jalepenos, sour cream and salsa. The chips were kind of thick so they help up well. The salsa had great flavor. The rest was ok, there was no chicken as I had ordered but the ticket indicated it was made per the instructions. I felt the cheese was really light for nachos. Otherwise it was ok. Service wasn't great with wrong order and lack of communication at window. Something else probably would have been better.

I had to ask what that was . So that means make it with everything. Yep! It took about 20 minutes to get our food and it was blasting hot. We ordered the four chicken wings, french fries, one pork chop, and a burger. Everything was tasty but the pork and chicken were a little over cooked / dry. Judging from the reviews, this isn't the norm. The fries were hot and plentiful; we only ate half of them. All in all, we're glad we stopped here.

Step aside Houston and Dallas- the Bulldog Burger has taken the number 1 spot of my all time favs. So big my husband and I shared it for lunch. The crust on this burger from the flat top grill is crunchy and flavorful. Grilled onions and jalapeños were savory and sweet. The 2 massive onion rings on top were golden brown and perfectly cooked. Nothing is cooked ahead of time so don't get in a hurry for your food. Sit back and visit with the people at the table next to yours. The wait is totally worth it. If you are anywhere near this spot do yourself a favor and stop and eat.
