Customer Reviews
Do yourself a favor and go to the Amite or Hammond location instead. Service was not good here but has been in Amite and Hammond. Restaurant was not busy as we came between lunch and dinner. Took a long time to be helped at the table. Once we placed our order it took a long time for it to come out to the table. When the food came out one of the meals wasn't what we ordered. After we tried to get it corrected about 10 minutes later the team member who was helping us came back out and said the order was just put back to be fixed, but by that time we were just about done with our meal. Will not return.
I went to this restaurant with my family this evening. I am a vegan and in a small town it can be quite a challenge finding good food. I ordered the Veggie Fajitas with no cheese and no sour cream. The food was very good and we were served by a lady named Briana who was extremely pleasant and attentive. She gave us impeccable service like she was a manager/supervisor, which I first thought, despite telling us she was new.
They consistently have excellent service, with appropriate temperatures for the foods, clean dishes and silverware, clean bathrooms, and quick seating. The food tastes great, and they are cautious about allergy issues. Will go again. Good prices. Second visit: still cautious about allergy issues but every place has mistakes every now and then - the best way to gauge a restaurant is how they deal with mistakes. The server was surprised the kitchen had missed the allergy mention, immediately offered to have the plate redone and whisked it away upon my agreement. The kitchen staff worked swiftly and the server brought out a new plate of food as soon as it was ready. Very professional, apologetic without being overly so, and checked in several times to verify that the food was good and no furt
We got Taco Salad and 3 Tacos and it was all so yummy. It was well seasoned and tasted fresh and the ground meat tasted good, I could tell it’s a good quality meat. The chips and salsa was really good too. So yummy. The place was clean in and outside. Friendly staff.
I love this place and it very unique with outside seating, inside seating, large bar area with TVs to watch the game. Plus they have large party room separate from the rest. I was told they have live music but it wasn't there when I visited. This place has lots of personality the local are friendly and cool to hangout with. So if you are stuck on I12 and need a place to chill during traffic back up or want to visit a new place I would highly recommend this place. The restaurant manager makes sure my food has no cross contamination but limited on options. I appreciate all they do for me to have a great meal
