Lemon Poppyseed bread pudding and Bananas Foster
Nick M.

As a lifetime New Orleans resident, I am spoiled by good food, and it is something I don't expect to find when I am on the road. While in Ruston for work and a visit to my college student, we decided to go to dinner. We got to the restaurant and were greeted by the owner at the door. He sat us, and had our wonderful server take our drink order. The ambiance is lovely. It's not fancy, but very nice. There was a mixture of blues and jazz playing in the background, and it reminded me of home. For starters, I had one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails ever. It was exceptional. I chose it from the extensive craft cocktail menu. Next, we had an appetizer of fried grits topped with shrimp and a cream sauce. Unbelievable! For entrees, my son had the steak and I had the shrimp and grits. Hands down, it was the best shrimp and grits I have ever eaten, and I am from New Orleans! He said his steak was fantastic and cooked perfectly to the medium that he likes. For dessert, we chose the lemon and poppyseed bread pudding and the Bananas Foster. Wow! They were both ridiculously good. I love this place. I may go back tomorrow. Try it. Seriously, find a way and a reason to go to this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. I only have pictures of our desserts because we dove into our app and entrees before I took pictures. I will definitely visit white Lightnin' every time I am in town, and I highly recommend that you do too.

8oz Sirloin and Shrimp with the BBQ sauce.

This is a must try! Amazing food, make sure to call ahead for a reservation so they have room because this place gets busy. The chef and staff are phenomenal and the attention to detail on the flavor are a reason to keep coming back. Constant updates to the menu means always there is always something new to try. The steak is exceptional. My only complaint was the lighting. It was difficult to see the menu so bring your glasses!

BBQ Shrimp and Grits!
