Looks a little daunting from the outside, there were few cars in the parking lot and a sign that said don't feed the alligators but the reviews were good so we went in. Casey was great, chit chatted, shared that alligators like Cheetos, then introduced Pedro the one eyed gator. Quite interesting. Food was good too! If we travel through that area again, we will stop.

Weekend special hog wild burger
Madison M.

Turtle landing is absolutely fantastic! My husband, brother in-law, and myself included all agreed that the hamburgers we had were some of the best burgers we've had in years. The fried mushrooms were absolutely massive and delicious dipped in the ranch they served them with. Definitely a go to if your a mushroom lover like we are. Walking in it felt like home and the boss lady ,as my husband has dubbed her, really made you feel like you were family. Ready to go back and enjoy some more good food and drinks soon! 100/10 absolutely recommend

Several reviews mentioned that the burger was great. That is an understatement! We're on the return legs of a 3 1/2 month motor home trip, having started in Tucson AZ and all the way to the Carolinas. I've eaten a few burgers on this trip and I'm not exaggerating when I say this burger is the BEST in the nation. Drive in Diners and Dives, get out here! Janyne is the owner and cook and she knows what she's doing. From the first bite, I knew I was going to eat it all, which I seldom do. When I was finished, my tastebuds were begging for more. The locals were some of the friendliest people I've ever met. The service and friendliness of the server, Janyne's granddaughter Casey added to the fun, especially when she took us to the back deck and called the alligator. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was as knowledgeable about gators! Memorable experience. Thank you all at Turtle Landing!

Great find! This place has great food and wonderful service at a very economical price. The food will surprise you as to how good it is. Cold beer and pool tables with a nice outdoor deck and boat up dock. The patrons of the place are the friendliest folks.

Turtle Creek Bar and Grill.

Excellent food! Great atmosphere! Pool table inside with plenty of tvs and nice staff. Lots of outdoor covered seating if you're bringing the whole crew. Don't let the rough exterior fool you! We drove in to visit the Science center and left hungry. Located Turtle Landing on Maps and saw the great reviews. No lie, best dive bar we've found.

Turtle Landing with "Uncle Dave"
SD V.

My family, friend and I were in New Orleans on vacation and took a private tour with "Uncle Dave." He took us across the state line into Mississippi and to Turtle Landing. He said that this was a place where we could mingle with the locals. The place overlooks a small body of water with vegetation, a couple of fishing boats...very pretty. We saw an alligator swimming around as well. Uncle Dave's family was there, playing pool and just hanging out. It was very laid back. The people were very nice and very friendly. I had sweet tea and the best po' boy ever- a dressed up soft shell crab po' boy. It was so good and I told the lady (owner maybe?) that it was the best meal I had had on the trip so far.

Beautiful view from the outdoor seating! So relaxing!

I'd highly recommend coming here! Especially as an out of stater I've seen things here that I will never forget. The gator watching is real and fantastic (granted only a few but really how many do you need?!), and the burgers are amazing. Surprisingly the deep fried pickles and mushrooms are not greasy at all and the waitress was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

This place was great! When you first get there you might feel a little trepidation, I promise it will be okay, you are going through the correct door, your eyes will adjust to the darkness in the bar/grill. The staff are sweethearts. The natives are friendly and funny. They will poke at you a bit, if you tease back you are in for a lot of fun, especially if you are a Yankee (anyone from above i10). The food was great, cooked to perfection, large portions and there is even bacon on the house salad. The meat was moist, the ingredients were fresh and everything came to the table hot. We might stay in Pearlington long enough to do lunch There is a juke box with a variety of music...not all up to date but a lot of fun selections. (Our first real ribbing was when a local played vanilla ice in honor of our visit!) There is a pool table, it's a dollar a game. Stop in to have a beer, a homemade burger or dinner and enjoy the company.

Pablo's - A South American Taste…read more 2128 Front St, Slidell, LA 70458 #tonylameats It's been ages since I've been to Downtown Slidell, so when I heard they had a Peruvian spot, I had to check it out! Peruvian food is a flavorful fusion of Indigenous, Spanish, Asian, and African influences known for bold flavors, fresh seafood, rice dishes, and vibrant sauces. Everything we ordered was a hit and I'll definitely be back for more! 1. Chicha Morada - A refreshing Peruvian drink made from purple corn, fruit, cinnamon, and spices with a sweet fruity flavor. (MY FAVORITE) 2. Pulpo a la Plancha - Marinated octopus served with patacones, Peruvian corn, and chimichurri. (FAVORITE) 3. Bisteck A Lo Pobre - Steak with fried egg, fried plantains, sautéed onions, and rice. 4. Al Pastor & Carnitas Tacos 5. Fettuccine a la Huancaína with Lomo Saltado - Creamy huancaína pasta topped with flavorful lomo saltado, parmesan, and plenty of passion. 6. TBD next time Tonylameats Approved

We tried a few different dishes including an appetizer with sweet plantain asada and cheese it was so good and i enjoyed the balance of flavors i only wish there was some type of sauce with it. The tacos were fresh and smelled so good and they tasted even better . Service was good and easy to bounce questions off of.

We pulled up to Frostop with the 50s station playing on SiriusXM, and I swear the timing couldn't…read morehave been better. The second we parked, it felt like we'd driven straight into a time warp. The only things missing were a jukebox in the corner and a waitress on roller skates calling me "hon." Frostop is pure nostalgia -- no filters, no fluff, just good food and better vibes. It's the kind of place that makes you half-expect the Fonz to walk out and give you a thumbs-up. Now, the food. Let's just say if flavor could wear a leather jacket, this shrimp po' boy would be James Dean. The shrimp were fried to absolute perfection -- crisp, golden, and light enough that you don't need to call your cardiologist afterward. The batter had zero oil slick, which is rare enough to deserve its own holiday. The onion rings? Crisp enough to make that satisfying snap when you pull them apart -- not a greasy drip in sight. And those crinkle-cut fries? Cooked just right -- golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and salty enough to make you reach for another sip of that sweet tea (which, of course, was the real deal -- sweet, cold, and dangerously refillable). My colleague went for the burger po' boy and hasn't stopped talking about it since. The man looked genuinely emotional for a second -- like he'd just reunited with a long-lost friend. Oh, and the prices, ridiculously low! Maybe not from the sixties, but definitely not from this decade either! If you find yourself anywhere near Picayune, do yourself a favor and pull over. Frostop isn't just lunch -- it's a mini vacation back to a time when food was simple, service was friendly, and nobody cared about counting calories. If you follow me, you know I don't give five stars away easily, this place deserves each of those five stars!

The food is still good, but the service has seriously gone down when the owner is not in the…read morekitchen. That young guy in charge is not much of a leader or organizer.

Well stopped in at Cypress Restaurant & Bar for lunch today. Figure would support the local…read morebusiness. Huge mistake needless to say. Ordered their smash burger lunch special and ladies and gentlemen save your money and go to B.J.'s Brewhouse or Buffalo Wild Wings because atleast at those two establishments you get your moneys worth for the burgers. They're $13.95 burger is literally 2 small slider patties on a bun. I took a picture cause you legit can't make it up how small they were. Arrived at 11:45 and the only customers there ordered burgers and fries which finally arrived to the table at 12:27. This was the first and only time will visit this business.

This restaurant has mixed reviews but we found it wonderful! The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas! We started off with 3 Happy Hour Appetizers which were all good but our favorite was the spinach dip with pasta bow ties chips! So yummy! I couldn't decide which drink to start with when one of the bartenders said she had just created a Mardi Gras "New Fashioned" and made it a Christmas drink with icing and sprinkles. Wow!!!! It was delicious! I went on to have the Christmas Cookie martini which was also delicious and a Grinch Mimosa which was good as well. My friends got the Christmas margarita, the Crème brûlée margarita, eggnog martini and cinnamon White Russian. All were amazing! We actually like all of the drinks better than the ones we had at 2 Holiday pop ups! For entrees we had the Cypress burger which was cooked on point, juicy and flavorful along with cups of gumbo and a salad. All of the food was really good. We had a bonus of being there on Trivia night and had so much fun! The staff along with some of the regulars were extremely friendly and helpful. We all agreed we would be back.
