We go to Elsie's frequently. All of my photos are from numerous visits…read more I typically get the Boudin or Bayou BQQ Burger however, I also like their Avocado Sandwich. My Wife typically gets their Natchitoches Meat Pies or Poulet Pot Pie. We also love their brussel sprouts and pies, the Eye of the Tiger being our favorite. They also have a good selection of drinks and beers. For some reason the smell of this place reminds me of an elementary or middle school cafeteria. The service is typically okay. The waiters/waitresses are typically quiet and very short verbally or super friendly, no in between imo. Elsie's also has very good sweet tea. The tea actually tastes like tea if that makes sense. As if they use better quality tea or brew it differently than most restaurants.

I love that they offer a variety of boards you can share, and their drink options are great too. You can sit inside or outside, and they even have live music on some nights, which adds to the atmosphere. The service has always been great every time I've gone. They also have the cutest merchandise available for purchase. It's a great place for date night, hanging out with friends, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or just spending time with family. Highly recommend!

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

You walk in, place your order at the counter then find a table. They bring your food out to you and check on you throughout. Service is pretty good The food here is good! So good that we visited them two days in a row lol. Both times I ordered the shrimp platter. First time I got the regular size and got the large the second. The shrimp are huge and fried well. Seasoned too! I loved the coleslaw too. The fries were standard fare but were hot and good. Now you see why I ordered the large platter second time. I wanted more shrimp lol. I also ordered the bread pudding the second time and it was melt in your mouth goodness. I didn't have room to eat it all so happily shared it with those in my party. The gentleman who checks you out at the end is the sweetest, funniest guy. Don't know if he's the owner but he helped cap off the great food.

Really enjoyed the festive atmosphere with lively Dixieland jazz music playing in the dining room…read more Ordered the Boudin Stuffed Pork Chop with side of mashed sweet potatoes & the jalapeño cheese grits. Overall great flavor though the grits were very dry like they had been baked on the plate and had a crispy crust on the outside. They tasted good, but I wasn't expecting that texture. My mom ordered the flounder with cream sauce and sides of potato salad & mashed sweet potatoes. She said she really enjoyed it. They also served a bread basket of thinly sliced salted garlic bread before the meal. We ordered a slice of the chocolate doberge cake to take home which seemed a bit more like French silk chocolate pie with a chocolate cake bottom. Tasted delicious & very rich. Our waitress was very friendly. Plenty of parking spaces outside. They have a large bar area too so seems like it would be a fun happy hour spot after work.

I had high hopes since my first experience here was good but this visit was disappointing. The…read morerestaurant was empty when we arrived, yet the service was incredibly slow. Our waiter was rarely around, so we had to ask a different waiter for drink refills. We also didn't get more chips and salsa after finishing the first basket. The food didn't save the experience either. I ordered the pastor burrito, but the pork inside was full of fat and inedible. For a new popular restaurant, I expected much better service and food quality. The drinks are good and the interior is very pretty and the aesthetic is there but that is all it seemed to be at this visit.

I've been to Habaneros twice since they opened and both times the food was great! The service has…read morebeen consistently good. It's so cute inside, however I will say that when it's busy, it can be hard to hear. The first time I got green enchiladas. The flavor was really good, but it definitely was not what I was expecting. The enchiladas were small corn tortillas with cheese inside covered with green sauce and a chicken breast on the side. It was really tasty, but my main complaint is that the tortillas were stacked on top of each other, so the ones underneath didn't get as much sauce and were much drier. The second time I went, I got the chicken burrito. It was amazing and the queso on top is so good! The raspberry house margarita was great. Tip: go during happy hour for 50% off house margs! And just fyi, you can hardly taste the tequila on the rocks, but trust me, ITS THERE lol! My friend got the birria tacos and the street corn. She really liked the birria but wasn't a fan of the corn. The flavor was good, but it's very different from traditional elote! She also really enjoyed the frozen marg but it was pretty strong. Overall, I think this is a super fun/trendy Mexican restaurant! I look forward to coming again!

I admit, I've seen an abundance of these recreated villages, all across the US. Growing up, my…read moreparents were fond of them, so they've been a part of most vacations, and many of them tend to blend into one another. Vermilionville, however, stood out as one of the best, and is a memory I'll hang onto for a while. The attendants in period garb were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer our questions. The woman with her spinning wheel even gave us a demonstration. She had taught herself to spin whilst working there and explained the excessive amount of hours it took to finish even one sweater. She also made it possible for me to try the bread pudding I'd been eyeing on the restaurant menu; she warned me they were closing in just 15 minutes so we rushed over and put our order in. Now, I'm not sure if their restaurant has its own yelp page so I'll just review it here. That pudding was the most delicious, most perfect bread pudding I've ever had, and I've tried quite a lot from some of the best places in NOLA. The top was crisply caramelized, and the center was a buttery custard infused with vanilla and cinnamon--an aromatic taste sensation. The server brought me two containers to go (an extra as I'd only asked for one!) and I was so excited to try it, I devoured the first one while wandering between the houses. There were some rather beautiful little homes, furnished with accurate historic decor, and I appreciated that we were able to look at things on our own, at our own pace, free from having to follow a guide. We visited on a day it was set to storm, but we were able to see most of the buildings before the sky opened up on us. We foolishly forgot to bring umbrellas of any kind, so we ended up darting between structures, and eventually taking refuge in the old church while the worst of the rain passed. It was atmospheric and memorable. We found some charming animals in a little barn--a donkey and two sheep and we said hello. There were even mushrooms, and among them we found a single chanterelle, so keep an eye out, fellow mushroom hunters! Lastly, you must leave adequate time to check out the gift shop. They have something for everyone, and much of it made by local artisans! I would recommend Vermilionville to anyone with an appreciation for southern history.

They shared historical details in a fun way, bringing the old houses and artifacts to life. The restaurant is onsite so we ate lunch. The food was absolutely amazing! The etouffee arrived in a cup with great flavor and plenty of crawfish (which I forgot to take a picture of). The etouffee menu item comes with a choice of 2 proteins, we selected shrimp and fish. The picture was after we ate half, so you get plenty of food. Every thing we ordered was perfectly seasoned. The bread pudding with praline sauce was wonderful (also not pictured). We would definitely recommend the restaurant as its own destination! The restaurant hours are 11am-2pm and the historical views are available 10am-4pm. Enjoy!

Went to the Station Sports bar and Grill expecting a good night and karaoke. Did not happen!…read moreClaudia the karaoke queen shunned me from singing karaoke. Found out she was letting her friends sing when ever she chose and shunned me from singing the whole night. I even tried to pay her off so I could sing with no avail. Her friends were doing everything they could to not let me sing and even had two phones stolen out of my back pocket, which amazes me. Never felt my phones leaving my back pocket! Just a little pissed! God is watching. I was asked to leave because I complained about Claudia letting her friends sing two and three times before I ever was ever allowed to sing. Had bouncers threaten me and eventually the bar manager asked me to leave all because I asked Claudia why she was letting her friends sing 2 and 3 times and was never allowed to sing and was asked by bouncers and I think the manager to leave because I complained about how she was doing with people singing karaoke.I was never rude or anything to anyone including Claudia. I spent lots of money on drinks etc. and was never allowed to sing and ended up leaving because I was asked to do so because Claudia complained about me cause I was complaining about her letting her friends sing in front of me and not allowing me to sing. I got home and found my two phones stolen from my back pocket. I am not a happy camper. I suspect her bouncer friends for doing so! I told the manager I would never come back there. I tried to explain to the manager what Claudia was doing and refused to hear any of it! I am very disappointed with the hand I was dealt and I do not recommend the Station Sports Bar and Grill to anyone! The Station Sports Bar and Grill is very unprofessional and they do not respect patrons on what patrons have to say! I do not recommend anyone to go there for anything! I give the Sports Bar and Grill a zero for their professionalism and how they treat their customers. I highly recommend for patrons to go else where!
