Incredibly, our food arrived very quickly and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS Everything was piping hot and so so so good. Staff let everyone stay and eat their food but closed the doors for the evening. These folk continued to apologize to everyone even though it wasn't their fault. There was plenty of natural light in the dining area and the food was great, so they deserve all the stars. I would give 10 if I could.

The restrooms are not air conditioned and it was just what you would expect from a seafood "buffet" in Bush would be like. A church retreat center in Loranger does a better job serving saltines. What really gets me the most is that it is a copycat of a casino buffet, without the casino revenue. And the location setting with a "disproportionate amount of frogs " makes you wonder where they are sourced from. So please Mr. Fugazi, name another buffet within a 3 hour radius where everything is "frog wafers" and "frog deviled eggs"? The gulf shrimp are 16/20's and you must be posting photos from the Westwego seafood market. Just look at the CUSTOMER posted photos. Food is unknown looking, service is "serve yourself", and the ambiance is 70's with a scent of mildew. It really needs to be emptied and sprayed down with bleach. You have to wait for food to be replenished, and when it shows up you take one. If there was lodging I would highly recommend it to anybody on the FBI most wanted list. It is gauche at best...

I thought that the restaurant could use a facelift, as it is an old building... but be sure that all of that can be, and definitely should be, overlooked being that the food is so worth the trip! If you're craving great catfish (fried whole, fried filets or baked filets) or flavorful boiled crabs or shrimp, look no further than Bourne's Restaurant's seafood buffet. There is a menu option, and lots of southern food options, I did have the mashed potatoes and beef gravy with my catfish..... it was the bomb I'm sure it's all good, but I'm a seafood girl and I will always remain so!!!!! LOL For $27.99 (+ $5 for two snow crab clusters if you choose) where can you go wrong? Plan a trip here soon!!!!! You will not regret it The only reason I didn't give a 5 review was because of the restaurant needing an upgrade and facelift.

The fish is incredibly fresh and flaky every single time. What really sets Mike's apart from other seafood joints, though, is the salad bar. It is hands-down the freshest and most extensive one in the area. They have everything from crisp greens to delicious homemade pasta salads, broccoli salad, and real bacon bits. It's the perfect way to lighten up a heavy fried meal. The portions are massive, the staff treats you like an old friend, and the sweet tea is always cold. Whether you're a local or just passing through on I-55, do yourself a favor and stop in!

Highly recommend asking for her! The menu made choosing difficult because everything sounded delicious. There were plenty of seafood options, plus several great choices for our daughter who doesn't eat seafood. She ordered the grilled chicken entrée and fried mozzarella sticks and gave both a big thumbs up. My husband had the BBQ shrimp with an ah-maze-ing sauce that absolutely stole the show. We dipped everything in it--the cheddar biscuits, my hushpuppies, and even my fried catfish and soft shell crab. It was so good that I brought the extra sauce home with my leftovers and couldn't wait to eat them later that night... and I'm usually not a leftovers person! Long story short: definitely go, order the seafood, and ask for Emily!
