Yea. We are the couple who stood at the doorway for 18 minutes with tons of empty tables and finally left bc you kept ignoring us. And I only brought my friend there bc I was bragging on the seafood nachos. The manager could have explained to us why we're not being seated. Never again. read more

The food was very good and I liked the music and it was cool to see the river if I'm ever in Monroe again I would definitely go there

We stopped in for Creole food and was blown away by his good everything was! We got the crawfish pies as an appetizer, and they were really good! My wife had never had crawfish before and she was delighted at how tasty it was. She got the salad topped with grilled fish and I had the catfish with crawfish etoufeé on top, and both were just amazing. Our server was really good as well. read more

Just had a wonderful lunch by the River! Great Cajun food and wonderful service. Would recommend 10/10 read more

The river view is special. The catfish was delicious, prices are very reasonable and the waitstaff was very responsive.

We are on our way back to Dallas from Orange Beach and decided it would be a good place to eat after reviewing it on yelp. The food was definitely as good as the reviews! We were very hungry, and we had some family wanting a burger, some catfish, and some gumbo, so this place seemed to cover all options. We started with the fried pickles, fried crawfish tails, and crawfish white queso. The queso is served with homemade potato chips, which was a really good combo. It was all excellent! Everyone liked everything, which is surprising for my picky crowd. One of our main entrees included the fried catfish platter, with your choice of two sides. The catfish was lightly dusted and very crispy. It was probably some of the best catfish I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. The burger was really good also. The fries are large, like steak fries. We didn't get a picture of the gumbo, but we all agreed it was awesome! We had some gumbo in AL and this definitely beat them out by far! We got there about 4:30pm, so there was not a crowd... and the service was fantastic! Our drinks were constantly filled, they were helpful and we were in and out of there quickly- just like we hoped. read more

Trapps - Smoked Boudin on a house made Remoulade - Cajun/Creole Near Me - West Monroe, Louisiana

We dined here on a Friday night. There is an outside dining option, so we decided to try it out. We didn't have to wait very long for our food. We had a seafood platter and a shrimp platter. They provide nice size portions. There was a band there, but it still seemed to be "quiet" at the restaurant. I'm not sure if that's usual since this was our first time dining there. Overall it was pretty good. read more

We were immediately greeted with a smile when we walked in. It only took a few min to be seated. It's got that hole in the wall feel that we love. The bartender was our server and he was very friendly and quick. The fried ravioli was delicious! Our drinks were made to perfection. Try their peach crown house specialty drink, it's yummy. The nacho spud and corn bisque were so good. My husband really enjoyed the jambalaya. We enjoyed talking to some locals and the chill atmosphere. Definitely a must visit! read more

Late review but we stopped on our way through town. Really enjoyed the food, good value for the price. Would highly recommend the blackened catfish and sweet potatoes. read more

Olivia was our waitress tonight and she was phenomenal. She gave great food recommendations and checked on us several times. The food was fantastic - some of The best appetizers ever! Try the seafood nachos or fried banana peppers - you won't be disappointed. Will definitely be back again! read more

Although I was not as impressed as I had been on other visits, it was still pretty good. My wife had a Shrimp Po-Boy with Homemade Chips. She said it seemed a little smaller than before, but tasty nonetheless. I had the lunch special, Jambalaya. It wasn't a huge portion, and there did not seem to be much chicken or sausage in it. In short, I was still hungry after lunch. read more

The ambiance was great. The server was sweet but very distracted by other things. There was live music that was really nice. We didn't love the food. read more

Joey and I came here to eat and it was amazing. Truly recommend if you come to Louisiana. Our waitress Maddy was great. read more

There I was fresh on leave and in need of some good ole home/southern cookin, particularly yearning for the taste of Cajun. My family and I stumbled upon this unassuming establishment in a secluded location. Serving sizable portions with friendly staff, this place was everything I was anticipating it to be. I don't live here anymore but if I did this place would become a regular in my monthly routine. From catfish to crawfish and delivering huge desserts, this restaurant can and will satisfy your craving for Cajun. However, be warned, you might leave hurting because you're so full and satisfied. read more

The food was exceptional. Service was great and the location was fantastic by the River. A friend had recommended it and so glad we went there. The Crayfish Étouffée and gumbo were amazing. We ordered the crayfish pies for an appetizer and they were delicious but beware they are HOT!! look forward to stopping by again. read more

There's something about this place that I really love. Maybe when walking in I noticed there was I believe a buy one get one happy hour. It was irrelevant because I couldn't exactly drink around my family since half of them quit drinking. But this place is huge, near the water, and there was live music going on. My dad wanted to get fried pickles and fried crawfish tails for an app. I couldn't stand yet again how much salt was in the fried pickles so that was a loss for me but the crawfish tails were pretty good. They have items on the menu that were taunting me like: gigantic baked potatoes called 'spuds' that are stuffed with crawfish etouffee, cheeseburger, boudin, etc. Catfish, seafood platters, burgers, gumbo, jambalaya. But I couldn't get over that no one wanted to split the seafood nachos and my heart was set on that. Dead set after I saw the pictures on yelp. It's more or less a mountain of fresh potato chips, peeled off the potatoes I swear somewhere on the property. Smothered with onion, tomato, jalapenos, fried crawfish, grilled shrimp, and covered with what they exclaim as the best white queso dip on this side of the Mississippi. You had me at 'the best' and 'queso'. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a halfsies option of these nachos and it seriously was a mountain. The queso was undeniably amazing. The crawfish and shrimp were just an excellent accompaniment. The only thing weird to me is potato chips as nachos but I'm willing to make an exception with these being thick cut. My sister's burger looked pretty good. My dad split a seafood platter and my brother got yet another shrimp po boy, which seemed to be his go to 95% of the trip. Out of the dive spots I checked out though this was probably my favorite. I'd come back and get a beer, split the nachos and try something else. read more

The food was great. The gumbo in particular was fantastic. As a side note, the staff were incredible and I don't think that I've ever seen so many beautiful, young women at once in my life. I was getting a little dizzy. Hahaha. read more

Well, MY food was okay until I saw the hair after I ate the last fried shrimp. I reported it and my plate was taken, I was not to be charged for my meal but I'd only eaten the fried shrimp. I'd have been okay with their replacing the food I didn't get to eat. The ahi tuna was great (my bestie offered me some of her food since i no longer had any). The atmosphere was a little uncomfortable - lady claimed she wrote my number down wrong; waitress was kinda dry but I looked over it because she made a good Endom Punch. I'm kinda disappointed. read more

The shrimp was good, the fish was good, the ettoufee was delicious, the crab cakes were good, the sauces were interesting, the entertainment was ok and the waitress was sweet! The atmosphere was just ok. A construction company was paving the street in front of the restaurant with no signs or fences up. When we walked across the newly poured street we were accosted and cussed out by the construction company but how were we to know. It wasn't their fault though. read more

Met out of town friends for an early dinner. They wanted some authentic Louisiana food, so Trapp's was our choice. Crawfish tails and fried pickles for a starter-tails were pretty small and dry: hard year for crawfish industry! They had a ribeye special-steaks were cooked perfectly! Salads were fresh and delicious, smothered catfish, steak fries, asparagus, and real mashed potatoes were all well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The kids were happy with chicken strips and fries. Service was fast and friendly! It's a casual atmosphere, very family friendly with inside seating and outside seating with river views. It's pretty warm inside. We ended up with a pretty cranky baby, but our waitress brought a little fan to help her cool off and settle down-pretty thoughtful!! We'll be back! read more

Two for one steak night! The steaks were perfect, the sides were really good. Great atmosphere and great service!

I Love it here. Trapps is definitely a place to go out on dates at. I would definitely recommend it here you can eat outside or inside.

Trapp's is a solid Louisiana restaurant on the Ouachita river. I wouldn't call it my favorite Cajun restaurant, but I won't turn it down. I usually get either the blackened shrimp or blackened catfish. Both are usually very good. Their mashed potatoes are really good, as is their sweet tea. I also like their bread pudding, crawfish queso, homemade potato chips and yams. 3.5/5 read more

Cool little local spot that sits on the river with friendly staff and good food. The back bar is small but cozy and bartenders are usually young kids either in college of just out of school and are friendly and welcoming, especially to out of towners like myself. read more

Food was good, place was packed. Looks like it is a family place. Servers were busy but attentive. I just had a salad because it was hotter than hell and I didn't want anything heavy. Give it a try if you're a local and you haven't been and give it a try if you're new in town. read more
