Location - Located in the Atchafalaya Basin, you get views of teh swamp, people launching boats, people coming back after fishing or swamp tours. There is often a breeze and if it is too cold, they can close some plastic windows that will warm it up. Ambiance - This is what a bar should be. Sightly divey with unique decorations. Photos of teh regulars on the wall. Lots of seating and a large bar with friendly bartenders. Food - Bar food at its finest. I have only had fried pickles and hot dogs but both were great. Drinks - beer prices are super reasonable and they have something for everyone. If you find yourself anywhere near Henderson, you owe it to yourself to stop at Turtles.

The brewery side offers a solid lineup with something for everyone, from crisp, refreshing pours to more bold, flavorful options. Then you've got the tiki bar bringing a completely different vibe--fun, laid-back, and perfect if you're in the mood for something tropical and a little more adventurous. And the food? That's where this place really shines. The wood-fired pizzas come out with that perfect crispy crust, just the right amount of char, and fresh, well-balanced toppings. It's the kind of pizza you keep thinking about after you leave. The atmosphere ties it all together--welcoming, unique, and full of character. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, a bite, or both, it's absolutely worth the visit.

Well, after a few years resisting frequent requests to try Mi Tio, again, I relented. Our…read moreexperience this evening was essentially the same... food was not good, service was only fair, and, prices were not good for what we got. Tonight, I had Birria enchiladas, refritos and rice. The beans and rice were just ok. The birria was definitely unrecognizable. First, it's beef, not goat. It tasted like beef boiled in water, and shredded. Pretty much flavorless, definitely not birria. When I complained, I was offered the consommé, which added some flavor, but not birria. My meal was a total disappointment. My daughter had the taco plate with three different fillings, steak, carnitas, and chicken. All three were so salty, she couldn't eat them. Her beans and rice were good. The only bright spot was my lady's meal... an ala Carte bean burrito and a side of guacamole. The burrito was a tortilla, some refried beans and what seemed to be a queso fresco sauce. It was good. The guac was good. So, bottom line, it was a bad experience because the food was unrecognizable as what it was supposed to be. This was my exact complaint when Mi Tio had its grand opening. My Spanish speaking servers, assured me, in Spanish, I should give them another chance after the grand opening. Here we are years later dropping $65 for pitiful food and only fair drinks, barely even Mexican style. Not good. Not recommended. And definitely not real Mexican food. My daughter was our out of town guest, and she couldn't eat her meal because it was so salty. I was embarrassed. As I said on my first visit, ¡Buena suerte, Pobrecitos!

I agreed to go without any expectations, except for having a great time with friends who have been and Mamou's international reputation for its genre of music. I was amazed by the experience, to say the least! Fred's Lounge is small, intimate and its music broadcasts live every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to around 2 p.m. on KVPI AM radio out of nearby Ville Platte, Louisiana there every Saturday. There was no cover, people there were friendly and embraced visitors as family. Even a wall flower could not help rump-rocking in their seat, clapping to the beat, stomping their feet, or even being coerced to cut-a-rug with a perfect stranger, while embracing the unique Cajun music rhythms. The band that day was local famed Don Fontenot and the Louisiana Boys. I could not help admiring the bass player's guitar strap made out of alligator hide. The craftsmanship was incredible! Also Don Fontenot, the accordion player's passion and creativity was spot on! The band played traditional music in Cajun French, however at times they played American classics like Proud Mary. They even played La Grange by Z. Z. Top in both English and Cajun French. However the most memorable song was "Ride the Donkey" with a guest performance from a local lady in the lounge, who he-hawed better than the best Jenny! I am certain it wasn't her first time performing this song! If you are a music enthusiast, looking for a fun destination trip or a simply a unique memorable experience in Louisiana, Fred's Lounge is a must!
