Stopped here on our way back to Texas because my husband loves Cajun food. He had the Etouffee and Crawfish and he loved it and would highly recommend. I ordered small Filet steak and didn't care for it only because they use a glaze that has Worcestershire sauce in it...but the steak was very tender and juicy. I'm a picky eater so it wasn't their fault. My husband loved the steak. The manager discounted the meal for me which was very nice. I wasn't looking for him to do that. read more

Food is always good. Seafood nachos and the burger are my go to. Great ambiance outside, the managers are always on top of things, service is like playing roulette but I think that's everywhere locally. They have amazing bread pudding. Must try! Pro tip it's gets packed during lunch ;) read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a long road trip. The crawfish queso and chips were quickly devoured by all of us and was so tasty. The blackened shrimp Po-boy was good but I have had better. The French fries on the other hand are phenomenal. The kids all ordered a hamburger, grilled chicken sandwich and a chicken spud. The two sandwiches were eaten completely and both kids said they were awesome. The spud though was pretty dry inside so just the chicken on top was eaten. My wife got the gumbo and it was voted the best dish of all. It's probably one of the best gumbos we have tried. If we are ever in town again we would definitely come back. read more

Great food and great service. The Boudin was superb. The only issue at the moment is the construction around the business, but totally worth making your way through to eat. read more

A little hole in the wall near Baton Rouge La. some of the finest seafood anywhere. . Casual dining . We were served fast and everything was hot . Loved it . read more

Coming from another state to eat here was beyond disappointing! Waitress didn't know anything about the menu! Food was not what we were expecting! Red beans and rice tasted like tomato sauce! THIS IS NOT SOUTHERN FOOD! Maybe for white people but not considered "southern" at all! Don't come here if your cultured or darker than pale skin because there is nothing but racism at this place! And you guys SUCK by the way! You need some flavor clearly! read more

Great food. Awesome service. Haley behind the bar was amazing. Great menu. Good selection of beers wines and drinks. Fantastic food. I had the etouffee cup and po' boy, and both were amazing. Ask for the in-house hot sauce. Originally stopped to go to Ouachita Brewery across the street, but that was closed. Trapp's was there so I stopped for dinner. Recommend highly! read more

Authentic Cajun food in land of Duck Commander. We enjoyed the beautiful setting along theOuachita River. Friendly folks and C'est ca Bon dishes. Gotta try it. read more

Great food and love sitting outside with river view. Always have a great experience here.

BEWARE! This has always been one of our favorite restaurants but yesterday we had a sour experience that has changed our opinion. We went in for a late lunch with our two young grandchildren. We were seated and given the lunch menu and promptly ordered 3 adult meals, one to share between our little ones. When we received the bill, I noticed that we had been charged the dinner price. When I asked our waiter, Alex, about this, he responded that he must have entered it into the computer after 3pm. That was it. No I'm sorry, let me see if I can fix that, no nothing. I would not have ordered from the adult dinner menu for our 1 and 3 year olds if I had not been given the lunch menu and thought those were the prices. I feel this was dishonest. I ordered a $12 meal and paid $18 instead. NOT a happy customer. read more

Super casual vibe with friendly staff, we sat outside with our 2 toddlers the tables were high tops but they did have high chairs that reached the tables so I would definitely consider this place kid friendly since they also offered a small kids menu. A table near us also had their 2 dogs with them so I'm assuming it's pet friendly as well! Good place to grab a bite to eat with friends. First time trying southern food and I ordered the gumbo and crawfish etouffee my favorite was definitely the gumbo. read more

Came out to lunch here today, with a friend, and it was the best decision I've made in a while! The customer service was great and the food was fantastic. I have been on a french fry kick here lately, and their french fries were awesome. Very friendly staff and just an overall welcoming atmosphere!! Will be back next week. Next time, I'll take photos and post. read more

Soo good. Our waitress made the night but the food was a close runner-up to steal the show. Great place with good food, people, atmosphere, and location. read more

Delicious food, great service, and truly my favorite place to eat at. I love Trapps!!

Great gumbo. Well worth the stop. Get off of the beaten path and come here to eat. Place is nothing fancy but the food is top shelf!!

The local people here recommended this place highly. I was not impressed at all. We started with their seafood nachos. I didn't see what the big deal was. Our bill was very high and nothing was extraordinary. I do not plan on returning. read more

On our way to Florida and some friends that live here in Monroe recommended Trapps. Excellent food! So glad we stopped here! read more

Great food! The Seafood Nachos, on house-made potato chips, are superb! We've eaten here many times, and early in Covid, got take-out! Service is excellent. Food always is good. My only caveat is that only one staff member, our waitress, wore a mask and no gloves when serving our food! Otherwise, I'd award 5 stars. They are a great local casual restaurant with plenty of outdoor dining. read more

The reviews for here are mixed so I was a little wary about going. So, what I've learned so far in Louisiana is 1. drinking when you go out to eat is just stupid expensive. 2. Everyone is super nice. I haven't had a bad experience yet when it comes to customer service... but I digress... on to the review! The restaurant sits on the water and I generally sit at the bar to eat, especially if I'm alone. The bar area is super tiny. 4 seats maybe? But the decor overall is very nice. I decided on the shrimp po'boy and gumbo. I wasn't a fan of the gumbo.. it wasn't bad but it just wasn't for me. The po'boy was fantastic. The remoulade sauce was very good and the shrimp were lightly fried/ breaded and tasted very fresh and delicate. I simply can't give more stars for one reason. I wasn't a fan of paying $8 for a house glass of wine. No bueno Trapps! read more

Definitely recommend this restaurant. The staff is always good and attentive and the food is very good. One of my favorite places in town. Make sure and try their Blood Mary's also. read more

Driving through Louisiana on our way to Mississippi and needed to stretch and have some fresh air. We got the Seafood Nachos (to die for!!) and the fried catfish platter, asparagus, and Caesar salad. Everything was fabulous -- from the service to the food. read more

The food was excellent. I had fried shrimp that actually tasted like shrimp. The asparagus was so good. Greg has fish with creole sauce on it. The fish was served over a bed of rice. I highly recommend this eatery read more

Great food and staff always enjoy going to this location for some great seafood and more

Normally we have another "go to" restaurant as we travel through West Monroe, but it was closed this time, so we found Trapps. We ordered the platter to share, which included catfish, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, meat pies and seafood corn bisque. The food was outstanding. Lightly breaded catfish, very white and tender. The shrimp were big and tasty. The bisque was just awesome. If not for having to hit the road, we might have tried their bread pudding with whiskey topping, which sounded great but I had a long drive ahead. Maybe next time. read more

Absolutely the best food and drinks! I had the smothered catfish which is always delicious and my husband had a steak which was cooked perfectly! Top it off with a Moscow mule and it made for the best dinner! They also have live music on the weekends, so great atmosphere for a date or dinner with friends! read more

We love to come here on Thursday night for live music on the patio. I love the crawfish quest and seafood platter. Always great service and food! read more

The gumbo was too salty but the grilled shrimp was good. Yam tasted weird but steamed vegetables were good. Although it was situated on the river, it was between a railroad and vehicular bridge. When we arrived a train was passing and it was very noisy. read more

I love this place! They were quick to seat us each time and the staff were friendly. I've been here twice! I was not a fan of the jambalaya, it needed more seasoning. They're appetizers are great. Specifically, their crawfish queso, & their fried ravioli. I brought my parents here the 2nd time I went, they ordered grilled shrimp & fried catfish, my mom is not a fan of shrimp or anything too fishy, but she loved it ! My dad loved it as well. read more

This place is excellent. I've never been here before and with my first time we were seated immediately even though it was packed. The food is delicious. I had the blackened catfish and loved it. The service was really good. Friendly staff accompanied with great service. IF I lived here I'd definitely come back. read more

This is the ONLY place to go for amazing seafood! My husband and I dined here for our anniversary this past weekend, and we agree- this is our FAVORITE place to eat. We love to sit outside and enjoy the view of the Ouachita River. It was cool outside, and our server setup a small heater so we would be comfortable. I love this restaurant! We don't waste our time or money dining anywhere else on date nights! read more

Great casual restaurant on the Ouachita River at the foot of the bridge in downtown WM. They have Music on Thursdays and Saturdays. Nice balcony over looking river and party deck on bottom floor under the restaurant for parties. They have Crawfish during the season, great Seafood, Steak, Salads, & Poboys.. small bar area over looking patio.. great place for a casual date.. or patio dinner with friends.. cant beat the lunch specials (especially on Thursdays- Crawfish étouffée for 7.99) and a floating golf green on the river that you can try to chip on.. read more
