    I went to Yaba's twice while in LaPlace. The first time, I found them on Yelp and told the family, and one mentioned her daughter had tried and loved it. So we drove to the nearby city to try it. It was a quick 15 minute drive. We walked into a chill spot. There were seating tables, a couple pool tables to the left, and a pretty full bar straight ahead. When we got closer to the counter, they greeted us cheerfully and playfully. Like we played cards last night.. and won. The menu had a few things I wanted but their prices are not for the neighborhood they settled in but whatever. I decided I was most definitely getting Jack'd Up Shrimp and Fish Plate, while the family grabbed a Shrimp Burger. The wait was decent.. 10-15 minutes. I didn't try the Shrimp Burger. The Jack'd Shrimp are like chargrilled shrimp, with lots of melted cheese, bacon, and jalapeño, and a side is super buttery grilled French bread slice. The shrimp were ah-mazing! The fish was just ok. Nothing stood out about it. Kinda bland actually. The second time I visited, they gave me the same energy upon entering. I ordered food before I got on the road to head back to TX. This time I get a yakamein and shrimp and fish plate. So the yakamein was really good! The meat was tender and well-seasoned. The broth was very tasty. I love seafood (as my profile says) and I was trying to eat somewhat healthy like while visiting. It was still bland. I enjoyed the shrimp more than the fish. Only ate a few fries both times. In the end, I'd definitely visit again. Just have to switch up and try something new.

    Passing by I wouldn't have ever thought I'd run into a treat like I did. The outside doesn't look the most inviting as it looks more like a store but once you're in, the place is nice and clean on the inside. The menu options were really nice. I decided to settle on the Jack'd Up Shrimp and I also ordered some bourbon wings with loaded fries (my eyes were bigger than my belly). Everything came out hot and fresh! The shrimp were great as they're prepared like chargrilled oysters! The wings were nice and crisp and the sauce was soooooo good. I'll definitely be back...probably tomorrow. For such a small town this is a hot spot! I love the bar and drink selections and there's also a jukebox!

    Surf and Turf fries... but they forgot the Surf...need to check my box next time

    The O ly Reason I am giving 2 stars is because they other ingredients were pretty good, but how do you forget the Shrimp on a Surf and Turf. I will be very hesitant to order the same item again.

    Found this place without the help from Yelp. Was driving on the road and pulled in for lunch. Well, Yaba's is brand new and the owner explained that they've only been open a couple months. First thing to order are a dozen of their Broiled Oysters loaded with cheese, bacon, and jalapeño pepper. This runs a fair price of $18.99. The oysters were medium sized but what a great flavor all the ingredients made. Also I went with a Shrimp Po Boy sandwich on a delicious thick roll. The shrimp were huge and perfectly breaded to perfection. Very large sandwich and came with fries. Menu has many different seafood plates and sandwiches plus hamburgers and chicken. A cold case there has plenty of beverages and a good cold beer selection. I noticed that they also had a full bar there. Owner mentioned that Daiquiris were coming soon. Service was very good and friendly and the place was kept clean. We sat up at the bar but small two seat tables are also available. Coming back? Next time I visit Garyville or Reserve I m totally down to grab lunch here again! Enjoy Yelpers.....new spot

    This place is a hidden gem! The chargrilled oysters with bacon, jalapeños, and cheese are amazing! The jimmy jazz wings are delicious! I've been here twice (because I thought the first time was a fluke) and it was even better! Don't sleep on this place !

    The the surf and turf Philly cheese steak was good, the seasoning on the fries was great. The loaded baked potato was also good.

    The portions are nice for the price. It's a clean place and the staff are friendly. I'd order more if the food wasn't so salty.

    Mabile's Restaurant - Over-stuffed Fried Shrimp Poboy with crispy French Bread

    Mabile's Restaurant

    (79 reviews)

    We went for lunch today at Mabile's. My lunch was delicious. When you go in you order first…read more They give you a ticket with your number. When they call your number you go pick it up at the counter. If you order a drink you can choose a fountain drink or what's in there cooler. My husband had a burger and fries. They give you a nice portion of fries. We ate there. Everything was nice and clean. Monday-Friday each day they have a lunch special. Thursday lunch special is what I had. Hamburger steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and French bread. They serve you a nice plate. They sell Hubig's pies so we had to buy each one for dessert. Can't wait to go be back!!!

    Every time I come in here for lunch, the line at the counter is long and there's a good chance…read morethere won't be many empty tables. But the counter service is quick and you won't have to wait long. The full-size po-boys are massive. If you get a Ferty (roast beef, ham, Swiss cheese), bring a construction crew to help you eat it, or be prepared to be eating leftovers for two or three days. I love a good shrimp po-boy, but it's usually too big for me. I have landed on the Shrimp on a bun as a fantastic alternative. It's so overstuffed with shrimp you can't eat it without them falling out. And it is perfectly dressed with just the right amount of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise. And the fries! Y'all, the fries are so crispy and delicious, and they also come in a massive amount. Too many for one sitting. This is a place I regularly stop at for lunch when I am in this area.
