It was beyond good. My server was very attentive, I appreciated how she made me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was was relaxed, I could tell it was a staple in town.

While looking for a good plate lunch in Alexandria, I was recently recommended to try Martin Meats,…read moreand I'm glad I did. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by the pleasant aroma of smoked meats drifting through the air. I made my way to the plate lunch counter, which offered a wide variety of choices. For my first visit, I decided to sample a little of everything -- pork steak, chicken quarters, and ribs. The sides of mac and cheese and dirty rice were decent, though they left a bit to be desired. The real highlight, however, was the meat. The chicken quarter was tender and moist with no hint of rubberiness, the ribs were flavorful, and the pork steak had an outstanding rub that would complement just about anything. The lady serving the lunches was an absolute delight -- friendly, welcoming, and eager to help since it was my first time there. In addition to their plate lunches, Martin Meats is also a full-service meat market, which adds to its charm and convenience. All in all, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in Alexandria and craving some quality smoked meats.

I called in and found out they sell any individual cut of beef to the public.... so today i decided to go grab lunch. I ordered 3 ribeye steaks for myself and coworkers. I regret not taking a picture of the meat, because it was pretty. Very well marbled. We cooked them over a gas grill, and talk about tender. This was one of the best steaks I have had in some time. I am kicking myself wishing I had found this place extremely sooner. I'm not the biggest large blue chain grocery store fan which is right across the street. Now come to find out I had a local butcher option the whole time. This is a MUST try for anyone in the area. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality that you're receiving. Updated: the very next day we went back and bought 8lbs worth of pork chops. VERY TENDER, extremely juicy. Grilled with minimal seasonings and they were awesome. People at work are raving about them.

Down Home Sausage is THE BEST SAUSAGE YOU WILL EVER EAT IN YOUR LIFE!! You think you know sausage. You've been eating it your whole life. You know what you like. Habits have formed. Tastes have been made. You like this. You don't like that. Your culinary knowledge. Your lifetime of experience. You think you're running at 100. And you might be. I'll give you that. You're at 100. Let's start there. If you love sausage. If you think you know sausage. If sausage is your thing. Then get ready. That resume you've spent your entire life building up? That know-how, know-of, been-there-and-already-did-it...TWICE!!! Take all that. Pitch it. Burn it. Shred it. Forget about it, because it NEVER HAPPENED!! You are now at ZERO!! You're back to being a baby. A newborn. And the sausage that you thought you knew, before this, the sausage that you thought you loved, well, it no longer exists!! It's a new day. The light is so very bright. And the sausage is so very tasty. This meat here is ALL HOG, and NO FILLER!! It is made by hand, stuffed by hand, looped by hand, and delivered to the smokehouse by hand!! There are only four primary ingredients in the sausage here, other than the incredible blend of that secret family recipe of incredi-mazing spices, and those ingredients are pork loin, pork ham, pork shoulder, and rib trimmings. The casing is all natural as well. These sausages are made right here in Stonewall, Louisiana!! The Original flavor is my absolute favorite, but they also offer Jalapeño, Green Onion, and Hot. These other flavors are hard to come by! If you see some online or in stores, you snatch 'em up like you're getting away with something!! And they do offer a top notch online ordering system at lacrawfish.com search Down Home Meats or Down Home Sausage. You can also order LIVE CRAWFISH there. That's right, LIVE!! Coming to you still snapping away!! And they ship Meat Pies!! What's a Meat Pie?? We call them Nachitoches (Knack-ah-dish!) Meat Pies!! You don't know? You'd better ask somebody, and order some of those too!! But definitely, whatever you do, order some of this Down Home Sausage! Better yet, order a TON!! This sausage is delicious by itself, in beans (YESSIRRR!!), Black Eyed Peas, and also for all breakfast meals, aaaaaand most DEFINITELY, DEFINITIVELY, MOST CERTAINLY goes with ANY AND ALL of your BBQ needs!! If there is just one drawback to Down Home Sausage, it is this: All other sausage in this world will no longer be palatable, nor edible to you, ever again. Ever. You will only accept Down Home Sausage on your plate or fork from this day and every day thereafter.

I ordered blackened redfish with the baked potato for about $40 including a couple dollar tip. The redfish was really good, a tad bit over salty but not overwhelming. The baked potato surprised me because it wasn't the prettiest and I was expecting a traditional potato with the helpings. Instead it was more of a stuffed potato where they remove the body and mix it with cheese, chives, and sour cream and then stuffed back into the peeling. It was pretty good nonetheless. The place was cute and clean and I was able to sit at the bar until my food was packaged. Food also came with bread that was fresh and I liked it. Nothing to fancy or spectacular but decent food at a price point I'm use to since I live in New Orleans. Not sure why the restaurant is listed as $$$$.
