    Bread pudding
    Alan G.

    I was in town and I was trying to find a Cajun food place. I stopped in around 2 pm after the lunch rush. There were a few people eating in here and I had a choice of seating but chose to stay inside where the ac was on. Service was great and I decided to go with eating three cups so I can have a variety. It would have been nice for a dish available for multiple items like the soups dishes. They were all good, the gumbo a little dry and gummy like it was sitting and the garlic bread was cold. I had to try the bread pudding with the whiskey sauce. It was good but a huge portion. I was flying back so I couldn't take it with me. It was a good lunch and satisfied my Louisiana craving. I think sitting out would have been nice but it was hot for me and chose to stay inside where it was cooler.

    Liked the location next to the river. The food was okay. The garlic bread was room temperature which was disappointing. The boudin stuffed chicken wasn't a good combination in my opinion. Young lady that served us did a good job.

    this joint for dinner on our way back home. It was early for dinner so we were seated quickly. We started with fried banana peppers... spicy! I ordered Nic's creole sampler, which gave us several different bits...all delicious. Gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp/crab/corn bisque were also ordered. Everything tasted like LA, as it should. By the time we finished, the joint was slammed. A musician was setting up to do a gig, but we didn't get a chance to listen. When we come through this way again, we're stopping here for sure!

    I don't know what I was expecting, but Trapp's far exceeded it. I sat on the back patio with a view of the river and city lights. I started with fried banana peppers and roulade sauce, then moved on to the boudin-stuffed chicken breast topped with more roulade sauce. Every bite was delicious, and the staff was very nice and attentive. I'll be back in town this week and will be making a second visit with colleagues in tow.

    Sides were good. Cocktail sauce is super spicy.

    Good Location right on the river. Easy to find and park. We got the Lunch Shrimp Platter. Shrimp was good and not spicy. Homemade Mashed potatoes is good and fresh. The spiciness comes with the asparagus. Good well but too hot for us. The atmosphere is nice and has that river feel to it. Looked like there was plenty of waitstaff and ours were super sweet and attentive. (Abby). Price is right for what you get too. You can eat inside or outside on the covered patio. It is worth a stop.

    seafood nachos dinner size
    Debbie A.

    What an awesome place with really nice servers. Our waitress was as kind and sweet as the tea. The nachos were huge $18.99- so big we didn't order dinner. Note there is a lunch portion sixe you can order. The chips are fresh and the seafood is not skimpy. Let me tell you those nachos would feed four adults. We opted for some cup size gumbo $8 and jambalaya $8. I thought the two mixed together would be amazing. I liked the gumbo a lot it had a ton of flavor. The jambalaya was good but on the dry side and a tad salty. I did order a $12 spicy bloody mary with all the fixes- fixes is 2 olives and a lime and a lemon. We did order bread pudding $8 and cheesecake also $8 to go. They have an inside and an outside seating (with heaters). The bread pudding I would get again, a ton of cinnamon flavor. I would pass on the cheesecake (dry and not a ton of flavor even with the caramel). The place is very casual and dinners from all walks of life. Definitely will be back here once we move.

    cup of Gumbo and 1/4 of a fried catfish Po-Boy

    Exactly what we were looking for - dog friendly and local food that was delicious. We popped in this afternoon as lunch had been forgotten during my antique shopping. Everything was really good and our server was incredible, on top of it but not pushy at all. She knew when we wanted her and I like that. Wish I wasn't so forgetful....we were outside and she had long strawberry blond hair. We started with Mom's Bourque's Seafood Nachos and they were loaded with shrimp and crawfish and so delicious, then followed up with half a fried catfish Po-boy which was perfection and a cup of gumbo! I also had a Bourbon Peach Smash which was excellent. There were fans on the patio, and it was shady, but boy was it ever hot. Regardless, we ate it all and thoroughly enjoyed our river view. Lovely spot. Check it out!

    Heading eastbound and wanted to stop to get some hood Cajun food while in Louisiana. This place did not disappoint. Just blocks from I-20 made it an easy choice. The crawfish étouffée was perfect served in a bread bowl on this rainy day. The red beans and rice were served with rice and cornbread. Neither plate had anything left on it. I would definitely recommend eating here.

    Cute little casual place!

    Drove through Monroe today on a road trip and stopped here for lunch. We had red beans and rice, the catfish plate, and the 3 kids were satisfied with their options as well. We were extremely impressed with the fried catfish! Definitely a winner. I'm not a huge fan of tarter sauce but Trapp's was delicious. The waitress was so sweet and helpful. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because my daughter (who just got an expander and is still figuring out how to eat with it) ordered mashed potatoes. They came out stone cold, it was so odd because everything else was piping hot. I had to send them back and the new batch was fine, but if felt bad because we all had our food and she had to just sit there waiting for hot potatoes. I'd still come back though! Great view of the river from the back patio! You can tell that it's a local favorite.

    The smothered catfish was amazing!

    We've been here multiple times. Service and food was great as usual, it was a slow time of day. I don't really like the cats though

    Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux, 205 Basic Dr - of service road I-20 Thomas Rd exit, West Monroe,…read moreLouisiana. Nice parking area. Both steps and walking ramp to enter the restaurant. 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.

    Some of the worst service I have ever seen. Two bartenders on shift and both in deep conversations…read morefor over 10 minutes until another couple sits down in front of them. Suddenly they realize there are a dozen other people they have been neglecting. Does this place even have a manager on staff?
