“ Before the pandemic this was a great place to eat at. Some of the best crawfish etouffee you could get on I-10 with truck parking. It has been awhile since the reopening, and I'm happy to say the great food is finally back! Absolutely the best! But don't just take my word for it. Stop by and give it a try! You won't regret it! ”
“ This place is exceptional. I can't believe I got this quality of food at a travel center. Food is cooked to perfextion. The waitress is nice and very friendly. Made sure I had everything I needed. What a treat I had today ”
“ If you come here you MUST order the seafood shrooms!!! They are the best thing I've ever put in my mouth!!! We shared the seafood platter...and had to get a to go box!! They amount of food they give is astronomical!! Our server was excellent. He was on top of it during our entire meal. I can't say enough great things about this place. ”
“ Ashley gave me tremendous service.. made a mean macchiato that was so tasty.. the crayfish omelet was a dish I really enjoyed. Lots of flavor. Lots of truck and RV parking as well as a few slot machines.. nice place to spend a few as you travel ”
“ Let me start off by saying how delightful this place is. The restaurant is super clean and very well maintained. We walked in and were greeted and seated quickly with our orders placed. We shared a bowl of delicious sausage and chicken gumbo. I had a beautiful, bright, colorful salad with crispy croutons, sauteed broccoli (that was absolutely fantastic), and the Crawfish Trap. The trap is a grilled fish fillet topped with crawfish etouffee. My husband had the special, which was fried chicken with amazing crispy, cruchy skin, cornbread dressing, and yams. All the food came out hot with so much flavor, the Louisiana flavors that I love and crave. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating and provided me with a to-go cup of sweet tea for the road. The restaurant is located next to a truck stop right off of I-10. So, if you are a truck driver like me, there's plenty of parking to stop in for a bite to eat. ”
“ I hadn’t eaten here in around 11 years, but while visiting in town I met some family here for dinner (steak night) and I must say, thoroughly impressed. Great service, the interior is different from what I remember, and super clean. Meals were stellar. I enjoyed the ribeye and my brother really enjoyed the seafood platter. Great place all around it seems. ”
“ Very friendly staff. The owner served us our food. We had seafood gumbo and I had blacked catfish with crawfish etouffee. Food was wonderful. Building is modern and kitchen is completely visible which is a major plus. Lots of regulars while we were here. Ignore any bad reviews. Seriously. ”
“ Located at exit 80 north of Interstate 10, you'll find this place. Has Gas and Diesel Pumps, Covent Store, Casino, and the Rice Palace Restaurant. Friendly Staff, Fast Service and Food Prepared Fresh to Order. We had the seafood platter, along with fresh fried pickles and crabcake on crawfish estufea. The seafood player also came with a cup of crawfish Gumbo and one side. It's definitely worth the stop. ”
