    Daily special was fantastic!
    Shawn L.

    First time here for lunch today and I can see why they have been in business for over 60 years. The food was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was a very cozy country feel. Highly recommend.

    Cross Church men's group visited and they was very accommodating for our group.

    We all got different dishes but the special of the night was all you can eat catfish. The pies are amazing!!! Love the feel of the place!!! It's like we just arrived at grandma house and she wants to feed us!!! Love this place

    I'm not sure why I never knew this place existed but I'm glad I know now. It really is hard to find good cajun food this far east but this place has it. We all had gumbo because it was the daily special along with shrimp & crab stew which I was tempted to try but I'm a gumbo snob so I had to find out. It is my new favorite gumbo in Houma. These people can cook! We also got the crabmeat stuffed fried jalapenos and they were awesome.

    Nice little place for a lunch. I tried the Gumbo, a little bland. But the Country steak was amazing. Loaded potato and side salad. Lots of parking (free) get the pie before you leave. FOOD: SERVICE: VALUE:

    Family owned and operated restaurant in a town that is close knit. This place was suggested to me by a coworker so I came to o Houma to see the sights and stop in here for lunch. I was not disappointed. Red beans and rice, side of potato salad. Peanut butter pie with chocolate for dessert. I was SO full. Lovely place. Stop in if your in the area. You will not be disappointed.

    Cute house and a warm porch greets us

    Last day before flying back to California, my mama was cooked out. Also even tho I grew up here, we had all never eaten here. What a gem! From the cute old house, the adorable country interior, the incredible friendly welcome, we were happy to be there without even eating! Every person there treated us like they knew us. We got hush puppies comped from the kitchen. My dad had chicken fried steak and my mama and I had the catfish and white bean special. Perfectly cooked. Real deal...not overdoing extra crap in the beans and perfectly seasoned. The catfish was crispy and light. I also had to have lemon meringue pie and it tasted like my mawmaw's. I will not miss this place from now on!

    Got a tip 3 hours away from here to go to a little place called "A-bear's Cafe" in Houma for the best gumbo. Didn't disappoint. A-bear's has set a new personal standard for how I judge gumbos and I enjoyed every spoonful. Tried boudin for the first time, no reference but very flavorful and reminded me very strongly of a Cajun analog to Lion's Mane Meatballs. On paper the rice-in-meatball idea has never appealed to me, but the end result of the soft rice mashed with gravy-infused pork sausage is immensely satisfying in a delicately fried shell. The pie was amazing. Nothing more to say. Place had an atmosphere that felt like Home and I'm pretty sure it is one. Loved every moment being there. Thank you for the memories.

    The food is very average and the specials seem to be precooked. The desserts are fantastic. The service is not very polite.

    Very friendly service with a great family atmosphere. I loved the jokes integrated into the decor.read more

    Get ready to let the good times roll when you walk through the door, the sign above the counter…read moresays "Welcome to Cajun Paradise, I'm with couyon" being born and raised in southwest Louisiana I can definitely get the meaning in the correct context, I can also recognize authentic Cajun cooking when it's put down in front of me and mais sha let me tell you these folks are doing it proud. We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area...
