Visiting from out of town for a conference and decided since we are in the area we should check out Jean Lefitte National Park. Fun hikes in a unique ecosystem… But we built up an appetite! This restaurant is just across the highway from the park entrance, so we stopped in for a late lunch. All of us were completely satiated and greatly enjoyed very well prepared fried catfish and oysters. The portions were huge! The ambience very laid back and the services was exemplary. I would certainly eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!

Came here for thanksgiving with the family, and hands down one of the best dining experiences, superb food, service, and decor I’ve ever had the great joy and privilege of enjoying immensely!! Delightful, gorgeous environment, amazing view, epically tasty and visually stunning dishes, enormously caring, knowledgeable and attentive staff, beautiful location and grounds, phenomenal ambiance and music, tasty tasty grub, excellent value, highest recommendation. Truly the meal of a lifetime we’ll never forget!! ✨

Tucked into the beautiful bayou this cozy but very nice place will answer the call to your southern food heart! We had the chicken sandwich & shrimp po’boy for lunch both were amazing! We also had the sides of potatoes au gratin and jambalaya. We loved both. If you’re going on one of the swamp tours, or looking for something slightly out of the city, that’s not too pricey, this is your place.

Out of all the restaurants on my week-long trip to New Orleans, this one was the most memorable-and it’s not even in New Orleans! After a day of exploring the bayou, we discovered this restaurant based on its great reviews. Honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect, given that there seemed to be a pretty limited choice of restaurants in the area that we were in. But wow, we were blown away! Our group started off with the Boudin Boulettes and the Alligator Stuffed Mushrooms and then for my entree, I had a pasta dish with shrimp tossed in an amazing savory cream sauce. We were there in the late afternoon and were practically the only ones there, so it felt like we had this special spot to ourselves. We sat right next to their floor to ceiling windows, looking out over the bayou, and watched alligators floating in the water. Truly an unforgettable experience!

We had a wonderful Sunday brunch here. I really appreciated the small things done right, like cold salad plates and staff filling to go containers. I got the Shrimp Lafitte which was supposed to have lump crab, but they were out, so they put the last of their claw meat instead, which was a very nice gesture. My friend had the fried shrimp, and we both agreed they were probably the best we’ve ever had, and we have eaten a lot of fried shrimp as native Louisianians. So good! The desserts were decadent. My favorite was the pecan cobbler. I loved this innovative twist on traditional pecan pie! The atmosphere cannot be beat. It’s open and airy, and we were seated right next to the large picture windows. We loved seeing all the wildlife on a gorgous spring day. Our server was terrific. She seemed to be experienced and was welcoming and efficient. This is definitely a place I would love to bring visiting friends and family for a taste of Louisiana with a Louisiana view and Louisana hospitality!

What an incredible gem! Unbelievable food, incredible service, and absolutely beautiful! We ate all over new orleans during our vacation and this was by far the best food we had!

Wow!!! What delicious food! I have to say, I’ve never had jambalaya with tomatoes before, but I think I’ve been converted! It was so moist and flavorful and spicy!! Our server was great too. Loved that we got to sit by the window and see the alligators. Would love to come back again!

Absolutely delicious! Beautiful atmosphere on the water and the staff was so friendly. I definitely will be back! Next time I would love to come for lunch so I can get a better view of the outdoors. Loved that it had a long history of being family owned. You can tell that a lot of love has gone into those recipes! Trust me, it was hard to make a decision on what to get. This place is worth driving a long way to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Well worth the drive to the bayou for lunch or dinner. For a true cajun experience, put this place on your must stop list if you’re visiting New Orleans. The food is excellent, and you can watch the alligators while dining.

Were still in Louisiana and trying another restaurant..
Approaching this place kind of reminds me of doing reviews in Florida, I like the look of it..
Looks really interesting, I like the layout, clean, good use of space.
Hostess was prompt, and water arrived quickly.
Offered helpful recommendations and was courteous…
Now, let me got to what ALMOST caused me to to walk out..
20% gratuity on groups of 5. Literally, In years of reviews, multiple cities, I seen this for groups of 8 or more but not 5..
I get it because people coming from the air boat rides will most likely stop for food, so financially it makes sense…
We usually tip 20% and good service gets 50% from us… but some places that push mandatory tips offer mediocre service, so let’s hope this goes good..
I wanted Cochon de lait PoBoy, well, they are out.. I couldn’t on the spot think of something else so I will be sitting this one out.
Although this raises an interesting question, will they still add the 20%.?
As with almost all my reviews my wife is with me and I trust her assessment on food, and I’ll sample some..
Perhaps it’s normal down here, the water is room temp, no ice, and maybe this is the norm.?.?.
I do like looking at the alligators in the waterway out back, it is a pretty view..
Appetizer is Boudin balls. For my fellow northerners, think sausage hush puppy..
Crispy shell, soft filling, good flavor, a touch dry though..
The entrees came within 2 minutes of the app, some may like this, others won’t..
It’s preference..
Shrimp Lafitte, pasta is cooked properly, shrimp is done good as well, the flavor is unique, and this is solely personal preference and I’m from the midwest, so i like a little bolder flavoring, for me it’s to subdued, still good though..
Potato salad is definitely a little different.
A touch of spice, with another taste I can not decipher. It’s not bad..
Catfish. Is cooked perfectly, crispy, flaky, moist.
We also enjoyed the coleslaw..
Overall it is a good little place to grab a quick bite if you’re coming back from the airboats..
