We only come to Monroe twice a year and lucky us it's CRAWFISH SEASON…read more Went three times in the 4 days we were there. Staff is sweet, attentive, friendly, all the things. You can sit inside or outside, seat yourself and get the crawfish. Extra spicy for us. We are from the Midwest so I don't comment on price cause imma pay it. Love it, and will come back just for you.

I'm licking my fingers as I write this review!…read more Best crawfish I've ever had! My partner and I were visiting for the weekend and had to stop by twice it was so good. We shared 5lbs of deliciously seasoned hot crawfish, corn & potatoes. When I say the crawfish is seasoned throughout I mean it. If I could've ate em whole I probably would've. Can't wait to visit again!

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

Second time here and still delicious…read more We tried to go Friday and the parking was insane, that's probably my only complaint about the entire experience . We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

We stopped in late--about half an hour before closing on a Saturday night. Noticing that the dining…read morechairs were all being put for up for night, we cracked the door open and stood gingerly behind it as we asked if they were still open? "Sure! The dining area is closed but come on in!" Complete newbies to Louisiana food, we asked for suggestions, especially since we had some kids looking skeptically at the buffet options. Talk about "Southern hospitality"!--the ladies behind the counter truly took care of us, giving helpful suggestions and throwing in a few extras because we were visiting the area. And then, even though the dining area was closed, she offered it to us (a family of 7) again because she said, "we want to make sure we take care of people who aren't from around here." Take care of us they did! The food was so delicious it converted three of my five children to Cajun cuisine--quite an impressive feat. (We picked up Chick-fil-A for the other two on our way out of town ) Highly recommend! Great taste for a great value. This was our wonderful welcome to Louisiana!

We got the chicken and sausage gumbo, side salad and baked potato. The gumbo is not southern Louisiana taste that we're used to but it is a dark roux and had a very good flavor. The garden salad was great and the ranch was good. The baked potato was cooked just right. Hush puppies come complimentary and are very good. We sat out on the porch which has a bit of A/C so it was very pleasant with a nice view of the river. The pricing is such that we couldn't go every week but definitely for any special occasion or nice supper. If you're in town and want a supper you walk away from feeling very happy with all your choices for the night, go here.

Beware - music is very loud! Not a quiet peaceful place if that's what you are looking for. (However, takeout is definitely an option.) No question this location is sports related with all the decorations on the walls. Great bar area seating if you don't want a table or booth. Lots of seating. Restrooms clean. Menu - huge selection! My cousin, Larry Joe and I had crispy, perfectly fried onion rings with spicy ranch, ranch with Sriracha sauce, and Boom Boom sauce, cocktail sauce mixed with mayonnaise, which was soooo good. Must ask for extra :-) They have like eight different sauces for dipping. For our entrée we had Catfish Orleans. Oh my gosh, we chose fried catfish filets, instead of blackened baked, served over rice, topped with crawfish étouffée, and hand-battered shrimp. So delicious. I will be ordering that again. Great service the minute we walked in by the hostess, waitress, and food staff delivery to our table. They kept checking in to make sure everything was good or if we needed refills or wanted to order more. Definitely will go back.
