It's a family-friendly atmosphere, almost like a throwback to years gone by, where everybody knows each other & make strangers (like myself) feel at home. They were extremely busy, and you could tell, but it never phased the staff. I was very impressed with how they maintained their positive demeanor, gave amazing service (appreciative for you coming there), and always made sure I didn't run out of my Coke Zero. If you are lucky enough to have a sweet young lady named Isabella to wait on you, consider yourself lucky. She is an absolute sweetheart! Now, as for the food...WOW!!! I had the Cabin Trio because I've started a carnivore diet, it was (3) grilled shrimps, chicken breast, & a small ribeye...covered in sautéed squash, zucchini, and broccoli...no additional sides for me. Shrimp perfectly cooked, chicken was juicy, the steak (medium) could be cut with a fork, and I may or may not have had some sautéed veggies (perfectly seasoned). Beyond a great dining experience & I greatly appreciated the Coke Zero to go, Isabella!

My quest led me to a rather marvelous establishment known as Log Cabin. The moment I stepped across the threshold, the hospitality was nothing short of exemplary. The staff welcomed me with immense warmth and elegantly showed me around the venue. Now, the tables feature a rather unique collection of stickers a distinct, rustic style choice that instantly transported my imagination straight to Texas. I found the casual, spirited ambiance to be thoroughly delightful. The level of service and the sheer attention to detail in their preparation were absolutely amazing. To complement the afternoon, I opted for a simple, perfectly chilled Coca-Cola to drink. For my main entrée, I selected the pork chops. The kitchen's timing was quite precise; my fare arrived beautifully prepared in about twenty minutes. The entire experience was an absolute triumph honest, flavorful, and delivered with top-tier Southern hospitality. I am completely charmed by this lovely spot, and I shall most certainly be returning the next time my work brings me to Ruston

It possesses such an authentic, genuine street food charm. From the outside, the facade evokes a beautifully nostalgic, turn-of-the-century 1900s aesthetic that immediately caught my eye. Upon stepping inside, I was greeted by an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is wonderfully unique the ceiling is completely adorned with banknotes, which makes one wonder if it's a clever nod to local tradition! It adds such a marvelous sense of character to the space. The service was prompt and thoroughly lovely. To drink, I sampled the Ponchatoulas Peach Tea, which was nothing short of spectacular perfectly sweet and refreshing. For my meal, I spoke with the waiter and settled on the crawfish stuffing. It was prepared beautifully and tasted absolutely divine. I am completely charmed by this establishment. A perfect, five-star experience through and through I will most certainly be returning

If you are seeking truly fresh, top-tier cuisine, Flying Burger is a complete standout. The interior decor is executed to perfection bright, inviting, and impeccably maintained. Upon arrival, I had the delight of chatting directly with the wonderfully friendly cashier, who also happens to be involved with the culinary side of things. That level of personal, attentive hospitality is always something I greatly appreciate. For lunch, I selected the fresh salmon, along with a few of their exceptional side choices and a delightful ice cream to round off the meal. When the salmon arrived at the table, it was magnificent cooked flawlessly, incredibly fresh, and bursting with exquisite flavor. Every single element on the plate was top quality. I cannot recommend this establishment enough for anyone who appreciates genuinely fresh, beautifully prepared food. A flawless five-star experience I will most certainly be returning!

Stepping inside, the restaurant presents an unassuming, approachable atmosphere. While the interior decor is quite simple and could certainly benefit from a stylish upgrade to match the caliber of the kitchen, the warmth of the hospitality more than compensates.

I ordered a refreshing beverage alongside the Chicken Alfredo, and when it arrived, I was thoroughly impressed. The dish was rich, beautifully prepared, and utterly delicious a completely comforting and satisfying meal executed with real skill. While a slight aesthetic refresh inside would truly elevate the entire venue to modern luxury, the stellar service and exceptional culinary quality earn Roma's full marks from me.

It's the hot link. It tastes like somebody fired up the grill in their backyard instead of a fast-food kitchen. The burgers hold their own against just about every chain out there, and if you add chili, you'll thank me later. Then there's dessert. Shakes, fried pies, strawberry shortcake...they've got every course covered. Griff's feels like a throwback to a time when fast food had a little more personality and tasted like somebody actually cared. Places like this are getting harder to find. It's right across from Louisiana Tech, so expect a line when school's in session. Don't let it scare you off. It's absolutely worth the wait. Face it, people like Griff's.

There is a daily menu on the board and you just grab a piece of of parchment paper and a pen and circle your likings. The service is above and beyond friendly and helpful and they showed me dining like a Sunday dinner at my aunt Rosie's when I was going up. I ordered everything I felt I had to try and now that I'm all growned up I don't have to eat it all to leave the table lol I ordered deviled eggs (Amazing) Mac n cheese (sooo good) stewed potatoes (seasoned so perfect) fried pork chops (to die for ) and both desserts banana pudding and pound cake , both are making there way back to my hotel for my snacks . Everything has good taste no salt and pepper needed and the price for all that was reasonable and most definitely worth every dime . I work out here on and off every other two weeks and now found a place that's good down home eating . If you live here and haven't been , shame on you (unless you haven't yelped it yet like I did) and if you do know then you've been back multiple times I'm sure , as I will . It's got enough seating for a small gathering , probably about 12-14 tables of four . I support the little places before the commercial places and this is why!!!

So after sitting waiting on our food for over an hour the server offered us something different from what we paid for because they had no more of what we ordered. Yes you pay in advance! The menu says the plates are $11.75 & $14.75 but in actuality the plates are $18+. After they ran out of the beef tips and vegetables i ordered they just brought me what was in the kitchen. Chicken thighs. For someone who doesn't even eat chicken! Oh, they had a problem with me not just taking what they offered me. After 2 hours we left. No apologies, no compensation and not even a return good bye when we said thank you while leaving. This woman will cater to the business around town and treat her black customers like we should be glad just to be in her facility.
