Went on a weekday night. They took us right away to be seated at a table. The food and drinks were great! We ordered the fried shrimp platter, gumbo, bloody mary for entree and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the drink had a nice kick to it. The inside may be small, but makes up for it with quality in food! read more

There are many places to grab a po boy and beer. But few of them value hospitality the way the staff here took such great care of us during our mid day visit. Included as part of the bayou Cajun food trail, but worth a stop even if you're not doing the trail. The onion strips are a local favorite and came piled a mile high and crispy as can be. The dipping sauces were great. Wish we could have packed it back home. The gumbo was well seasoned and had great seafood. The catfish po boy is the marquee choice here. They use tartar sauce rather than mayo which adds such complex flavor to well fried catfish and a wonderfully fresh baguette. They mentioned they get them from a nearby bakery. The food was great but the people were why we stayed and why we'd be back! read more

We went here on Saturday night, it looked closed from the outside, but we did get great service once we went in. The place was clean, restrooms were clean, and the food was really good We started with the honey siriracha shrimp. It was good fresh fried shrimp with an amazing sauce and the coleslaw bed that it was on was very good. I chose to get the half soup and popcorn shrimp Poboy. I enjoyed both. The bread was a little bit on the dark side, but not a horrible burn taste so I did not send it back. However, I definitely would've enjoyed it a little more lightly toasted . I got the pepper jack cheese soup since it's a fan favorite and I enjoyed it. There was too much food for me to eat, and I took half of it home. My husband ordered the hamburger steak with a side salad. He really enjoyed the hamburger steak. The texture was amazing and he said the gravy was very good. However, this is the first time he's ever had hamburger steak not on rice or mashed potatoes. That is an option he could've ordered, but he opted for the side salad with Ranch. We took the bread pudding to go and enjoyed heating it up at home. They put a lot of frosting on it and it was very delicious. However, you do need to like raisins. Definitely a restaurant we will go to again. husband loved the bloody Mary. This was a great recommendation. read more

OMG!!! Went for Sunday brunch. Had about a 20 minute wait to be seated, but after eating there, I'd have waited an hour. Started with Irish coffee, then had the Crab Cake Benedict. These were the best crab cakes I've ever eaten, on top of a biscuit that was a little crispy on the edges and soft, warm & moist in the center, all covered in a crawfish cream sauce. Absolutely delicious. And the Bloody Mary, made in house from scratch had just the right amount of kick. Had me sweating a bit, just like I like it. Service was friendly & efficient with no hovering. The whole vide of the place was welcoming and friendly. A little cross talk between tables is never a bad thing at brunch. read more

Delicious! One of our favorite places! Excellent service and an awesome local hangout!

You can always count on great food and service at Sphar's in Thibodaux. The soft shell crab was fried to perfection. It truly was a treat. The crawfish stew was delicious with an abundance of crawfish. It does have some spice to it but it was good for me. I also had the potato salad and it was really good with the stew. read more

This was one of the best meals I have had in south central Louisiana. It was definitely worth the drive to Thibodaux. I had the fried catfish "chips" with coleslaw. The fish was cooked perfectly, the tartar sauce delicious, and the coleslaw was refreshing. My friend had fried oyster poboy with sweet potato fries - very good! This is a small downtown restaurant with excellent service. The inside was small, comfortable, and a little upscale for the area. I would definitely eat here again if in the area. Took a walk afterwards around the downtown neighborhood. It was a busy place! read more

Good food!!! It was full but not over packed. Good service and great eats. The thin catfish is amazing.

Love everything about this place...the staff, the entire menu, FABULOUS...Love that it is located in downtown Thibodaux and close to home.

Had lunch here and nothing has changed with is a great thing. The catfish chips taste the same as they did 30 years ago when I used to eat at the original location. The catfish chips are perfectly seasoned and fried just right. The Cajun potatoes are nothing special, but still pretty good. Service was great. read more

The amount of oyster were hardly any, the oysters on poboy were burnt to a crisp. Seafood salad was disgusting. Asked for blue cheese, we got nothing, ask for no olives, we got olives.The crab looked like it was squeezed together from a can and placed on the side. Very very very disappointing that Spars allow this to happen read more

Food is great and service is excellent. The restaurant is very clean with a nice atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the help was very knowledgeable about the menu. The decor was exceptional and fit in well with cuisine.

Ate there for the first time on Friday. There were 4 of us. The appetizer we got was really good. Everyone else love loved the dish they ordered! I was the only one that ordered the crawfish over catfish. Unfortunately it was terrible. Was watery snd tasted like the only ingredient the cook added was tomatoes. I ended up only eating the small piece of fried fish that was in it. I guess I should have sent it back and ordered something else. The service was excellent. The waitress was excellent. Nice little restaurant, nothing fancy. read more

For the price, I thought it would've been bigger portions and for where it is located there's fresh seafood everywhere around there not saying it wasn't fresh it look like they took one piece of catfish and cut it up in four pieces and serving as two pieces read more

The breakfast was delicious, we had the special, beignets and crab cake Benedict and service was great!

After dropping my son off at a football camp, my daughter and I decided to grab breakfast...we dropped in about 1030 and were greeted by the wait staff who was attentive, friendly and provided very good service. The atmosphere (ambiance) was perfect for a Saturday morning breakfast. We ordered the house made boudin egg rolls and they were so good I had to ask where I could get the boudin. They make it in house but don't sell it...yet. They really should because it is some of the best I've ever had! My daughter got a chocolate chip pancake and she said it was delicious. I got the crawfish crab cake eggs Benedict with home style potato's. If I could have eaten the entire thing I would because it was delicious. The crawfish sauce on top was not too heavy and had a great flavor. If ya in this neck of the woods stop by and give them a geaux...you won't be disappointed. C'est Bon! read more

We stopped for lunch during the Thibodaux Fall Festival. While all tables were taken we only waited about 5 minutes for a table to become available. I was hesitant to come here because of the reviews but we thought it was a good lunch with ok service. The service could have been better but considering how busy it was I'll give them a 3 for service and 4 for food. I don't remember the name of our appetizer but they looked like empanadas and were delicious. My husband enjoyed the fish chips and fries. Both were hot and crispy. I ordered the boiled shrimp and broccoli. The shrimp had a nice spice but the broccoli were slightly overdone. read more

Spahr's has been a regular stop for us for years. But, yesterday, the maitre's d allowed two large groups to cut in front of me & wife in the lunch table-waiting que. I suggest everyone avoid this place, especially at lunchtime. Try the venerable Forest (Motel) Restaurant on the North side of Franklin, LA, instead. Or, Gattusso's Bistro, at Gretna, LA.

Service was fast and food was very good. We had the fried shrimp and thin cut fried catfish. Appetizer was a cup of gumbo. All was yummy. Better than average tartar sauce which is hard to find. read more

We had a very large group today of 15 people we choose to go in at one pm. They do not take reservations and it is a small place. We were given a hour wait. The team worked hard and had us a table in twenty minutes. They went above and beyond. It is a small but well thought out menu. Mostly fried seafood but gumbo, pastas , broiled or blackened seafood. Had the best seafood platter that my husband and I split. Everything was perfect. Shrimp,crab claws, oysters the best oysters, stuffed crab, fish. Side of onion strings and fries. Their Gumbo is a fusion of seafood and sausage beautiful color on the roux. The porous were over flowing with which ever choice one made. For the amount of food you get they are fair priced. We used to drive to Mittendorfs but this place is so much more superior. The staff are treasures and they know their regulars. They are polite and friendly. There was a older gentleman that came in sat at the small bar. A elderly lady came in with her kids. They were seated and the staff was joking with the gentleman. He said he wished he had had more time to talk to the lady. This made my day. read more

Food was great. Servers were helpful and polite. Friendly and professional. No complaints. Wish. I had been here before now.

Great little local place! Lovely people and delicious food! We were visiting for two nights and dined with them twice.

Amazing find! This place does not look like much but wow is the good great, service fantastic, and just a fun relaxing place to get a great meal. I was in town for one night and wanted something local. This place was just that. The waiter told us he was new but you would never know it. He recommended a local beer and it was very refreshing and one of the best local brews I have had in a long time. He suggested a few items and I chose the crawfish stew. It was full of crawfish and had a great flavor. I could have eaten it a second night if I were still in town and been very happy. The peanut butter pie for desert was a winner too and the prefect end to a great night. read more

I was there this Tuesday a employee at the tire shop down the street recommended this place. My husband and I walked down there. We go in somebody as well. Rein and taking out said we were dying in seated us was nice and everything. My husband ordered me a restaurant came back, it wasn't strong enough for me so I asked for Coke. I ordered crawfish. He had a shrimp Poboy with fries. He didn't eat mini fries and he didn't eat the fries. They had to be cold or not good the roux was very dark no seasoning actually awful and was not heated. The stew should have been hot. Was not hot at all the hush puppies was the best thing on the plate very overpriced. The food was I thought it was. They Didn't give us or didn't have a lunch menu I would never go there again. I felt ripped off. and yes, we tipped the entire meal was some bullshit. read more

The food is always fresh. The French bread breakfast is my favorite with the strawberries and powdered sugar. They are a tad bit cheeky with the strawberries. Also their blackened chicken pasta is good. As well as their may desert of blueberry bread pudding with white chocolate... one to die for! read more

Brandi was our waitress and she was so incredibly kind! Made me smile every time she came to check on us! The food was tasty!
