Stopped in on a Monday thanks to Yelp because I was looking for some Red Beans and rice. I must say for $8.99 their lunch special is great! Big bowl of beans with sausage, ham, penne pork chop and corn bread! I will be back on a Monday in the future!!! read more

This place is Awesome! My wife and I are in Slidell on business and were given a tip as to what place to get Real cajun food, and THIS is It! They have quite possibly the BEST CRAWFISH PIE on the planet, the Shrimp,Crab,corn chowder is liquid heaven! And don't get me started on the Red Beans and rice!! Loved every bite!!!! read more

A little disappointing today. I hadn't had the turkey dinner is quite a while. Today I was feeling the need for some comfort food so I ordered it. The sides were great (Mac & Cheese, Yams, and even the dressing) but I was disappointed in the turkey. It wasn't "homestyle" oven baked turkey. It was processed turkey breast. :-( read more

I enjoyed the crawfish pies, but thought the food was ok. The jambalaya was dry and the chicken was nothing out of the ordinary. The service was friendly though read more

Bonnie C's Cafe - Baked chicken entree with jambalaya and baked macaroni - Italian Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

See all

Great food! I use yelp a lot but have never posted. I would recommend the pasta jumbalya as well as the hamburger poboy. The onion rings are made fresh and are great as well. While this was not a traditional Nola gormet meal is was excellent especially considering the price! read more

Everything really does seem to be made from scratch including ranch dressing (love it). The Cesar salad was one of the best I've had out here in Slidell. My boyfriend had a cup of the gumbo and his review on that is the flavor profile was well executed and consistency was great. He just wished there was a more even balance of crawfish and oyster. Said there were too many crawfish. We split the cheeseburger poboy which was great. Best hamburger I've had in Slidell as well. The server seemed sweet. Service and food were fairly fast. Will definitely be returning soon to try out everything else on the menu read more

This restaurant has the best fried chicken I've ever had, bar none! A friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere make all the difference and the cafe offers all of what you could ever ask for. Two thumbs up! read more

Your food is so delicious lious I went there today I was happy with the food coming back again later

Boring decor and mediocre service--the dressing with the turkey was fresh out the freezer and the cornbread had not even been heated --a Copeland???? WOW!! read more

Had lunch at this small Lil restaurant today called Bonny C's in Slidell, La., the food there was down home delicious. It's on Front St across from Time's Grill and the train station. The service was very good and that's just something you can't find any more.For those of you who don't know this, the C in Bonny C's, she is a Copeland and that in it's self says enough, because this lady comes from a cooking back ground that goes way back. read more

This place never disappoints me. Family friendly environment, friendly service, and delicious food. Always feel at home when I eat here. I had the catfish platter with baked macaroni (awesome), and corn bread dressing ( also awesome) . read more

***I have to be upfront and say that I am delayed in reviewing this restaurant as we were there about a year ago. I'm not sure if it has since changed hands as the reviews I'm reading now do not jive with our experience.*** We were on a family road trip and it happened to be my husbands birthday. He requested Fried Chicken as his birthday meal. So I searched online for a restaurant along the way that had raving reviews of their fried chicken. Bonnie C's topped the list and it was on our route. We stopped at this quaint little family restaurant. I think there were maybe three other tables of people. Our waitress was a sweetheart and the owner came over to our table and gave us a little low down on the history of Bonnie C's and the menu. My husband got his Fried Chicken and it was out of this world! I had a cheeseburger with shrimp and it was different but very good. Both my kids loved their meals of mac and cheese and a burger. Hands down, the piece of cake my husband got for his Birthday was beyond delicious. According to the owner, his wife, Bonnie C, is the only one who knows the top secret recipe for this cake. Sadly I forget the name of it, but just ask, they'll know what you're talking about. It was Chocolate on chocolate with chocolate (I may be exaggerating, but it was delicious and I really don't care for Chocolate!). I would have given it 5 stars but I'm afraid that my experience may have occurred prior to new ownership, to which I cannot review. read more

For a newer place, they already seem to have their act together. You walk into a friendly place where all the wait-staff says hello. You seat yourself...I like that. The dining room was clean, so were the tables. The menu includes something creative in each food category; I had the Jambalaya Philly po boy, My wife had "today's special" 4 meat lasagne. We surely will come back to try the Deep South Gold (seafood stuffed breast; deep-fried) and a variety of other things. The place was noisy but cheery. Our waitress was nice and very helpful (especially with the menu choices). We are very happy that we found Bonnie C's. read more

We had read good reviews but were quite disappointed. We came on a Thursday night, around 7. The place was old and lacked ambiance, except for the life-size Elvis statue. Our table was not clean, and our water glasses were never refilled. We ordered onion rings and gumbo which were both so salty we could not enjoy them. It was also expensive: 2 tiny (1/2 cup size, it seemed...we were shocked) cups of gumbo, a bowl of gumbo, a kids meal and onion rings came to $40. Our gumbo did not come with enough rice, but a later order came out for the next table with a steaming pile on top. It seems to be inconsistent. We will not eat here again. read more

Tonight was my first time at Bonnie C's. I was a little disappointed to walk in and and not be greeted or told to "seat yourself". I felt a little weird stopping a waitress to ask if i should wait to be seated. Nonetheless, after sitting down it took 12 minutes for some one to come to my table and ask if I'd been helped yet (a little long in my opinion). The waitress who did serve us was super friendly and attentive. The food was very good. I had a burger and fries. Best fries I've had in a while. I loved the local vibe and cafe style. You really feel like you're in a small town, old school diner, which really represents what Bonnie C's is to Slidell. I'll definitely be back and will recommend this place to others. Once you become a regular, I'm sure Bonnie C's will feel like an extension of your own home. read more

Cole slaw was watery and no crunch to it. Tasted like it wasn't fresh. Yams were watery too. Hamburger was good but none of the plates had any type of garnish on them. Presentation was a total fail. Good food should not only taste good, but should please the eye as well. Last year I had the roast beef po boy and onion rings, both were very good. Won't be in a rush to return anytime soon. read more

There must be a different Bonnie C's in Slidell from the reviews I have read here. Every time I have gone to this restaurant I have been greeted at the door within minutes of arriving. I bring out of town guest here all the time for good southern style cooking. It is true the menu is large and has many item's on it. But we have ordered several items off of it and all have been outstanding from the fried chicken, red beans and rice, nightly specials to the Po Boys it has all been very good food. The staff is very friendly and service is so good there it's almost to the point of bothering you. The owners have come to our table to inquire how the meal and service has been every time I have been there. Yes it is loud, its an old brick building full of people from Louisiana. So don't believe everything you read in reviews try Bonnie C's for yourself. One of the few good mom and pop non franchise restaurant's in Slidell. read more

Can't go wrong with this place. I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had a stuffed chicken breast and we were not disappointed. Staff very polite. read more

Best place we ate in Louisiana, and we ate a lot of places. We weren't that hungry (alas), so we split the special: Jumbalaya, with fried catfish and creole sauce along with a sweet corn muffin and a side casserole. Holy moly! Delicious. And the owner came to the table to speak with us--he clearly has a passion for food cooked right. Nothing cooked in a plastic bag here! read more

It was on a cold, rainy night in the French Quarter that I ducked into a nondescript NOLA eatery with $7 bucks in my pocket and discovered the heavenly creation of perfectly prepared Beans & Rice accompanied by a crispy-charred smoked sausage. Since that time, I have been on a mission to find it's equal and my quest has lead me to Bonnie C's Cafe where I ordered their award winning Red Beans & Rice with Meat. To begin, I really enjoyed the Collard Greens and Candied Mashed Yams that came with the meal. The Collards were super flavorful and the Yams were light and sweet. Although the beans and rice were nicely prepared, they sadly lacked the depth of sweet/smokey flavors I so dearly remember. The smoked sausage, however, was charred perfectly, had that signature snap when bitten into, and was juicy and delicious. Finally, the Gumbo, said to be topped with chicken, sausage, and okra, was an oily, watered down, flavorless soup lacking the time (to develop a hearty roux) and attention (to building flavors from the trinity of vegetables) such a classic NOLA dish deserves. It seems my search continues. TL read more

This was our second visit at Bonnie C's. The first was not long after they opened and my dish was not good. I am a big liver & onions fan but it was NOT good, hubby's dish was so so. So we never went back until we had someone brag about their experience. We decided to give them another try and we are SO very glad we did. We both ordered their special of the day: Fried Catfish over a bed of jambalaya which was covered in crawfish etouffee. This was to die for! We both were stuffed but could not stop until the plate was clean. Oh man! Staff issues, I agree with others that they need to improve in this regard. The first experience was horrible - it took 15 min for the waitress to notice we were there - only 2 other tables taken. This time we were waited on promptly but service still could use tweaking. We WILL be heading back there at least for that great catfish special, but I am up to try something else... I heard the ribs were good, may have to try them out & report here. BTW the pic that Whitney posted was spot on what we got. read more

Monday was Red beans & Rice special with a pork chop' - everything was flavored well. The house could use a little more scrubbing- we will definitely go back and try the catfish. read more

I went to Slidell to get away from Hurricane Irma and was on the hunt for some real Louisiana cuisine. I tried a few other restaurants which were pretty good, I found Bonnie Cs on yelp while searching for Jambalaya on my last day there. It was a quaint little cafe, complete with Elvis and rocking chairs. The food was awesome, everything we had was delicious and affordable. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient and made our experience a great one. I highly recommend this to everyone looking to get some authentic NOLA cuisine! My only regret is that I didn't discover this place when I just arrived! It was great food with real southern hospitality!!!! read more

Just got my order from Menu Express and everything was great! Had the gumbo which was one of the best I've had. My husband had the hamburger po boy and he stated it was cooked a perfect medium. I had the veal parmesan and it was amazing, the portion of veal was plenty and the sauce was fantastic. Will def be ordering again. read more

I had the fried chicken and it was awesome! So were the biscuits and greens! We also had the roast beef which was great too! You cant go wrong with anything you get here. All homemade food. Very helpful wait staff. I did have to wait a bit for the chicken but they freshly fry each piece which is well worth the wait. I will be back! read more

This is probably my husband and my favorite place to eat, but Tonight , service was horrible! Our waitress Katie, was unprofessional as a waitress. We never had to wait this long for our food. When you go to a restaurant, you expect excellent service.you expect to get your soup of the day first, before your entree. She never came to check on us like the others would do. Didn't ask for our refill on our drinks, we had to literally say , um excuse me can we please get refills. Then my refill had something floating at the bottom of my cup. We had to ask for the check . Tonight was just no excuse for her actions, especially when it wasn't busy, like it usually is on a Friday. It makes the original owners look bad! It's a shame to say Bonnie C's isn't what it use to be. They had good wait staff before, what is happening now? They are running the good customers away. read more

Food was delish!! service was great...really fast and nice...HOWEVER...we asked for the sauce on our main entree to be on the side and on our dessert (which was to go) on the side, and both times they smothered the sauce on the food. Food was great, but the waitress didn't pay attention to our request to put our sauce on the side. read more

The food was great, and service was top notch. we will eat here again the next time we are in town.

I just took a group of student mission workers here. Everyone loved it. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious and the servings were generous. I will definitely be going back next time I'm in the area. read more

My husband & I went here for lunch for the very first time. I had heard great things about this place. However, the waitress we had did not give us good service and we were the ONLY table that she was serving. The waiter that was also working had four tables and he was giving them ALL BETTER service then we were receiving. My husband got the catfish platter with baked macaroni and cornbread stuffing and I got a shrimp poboy. My husband said that the catfish was light and fluffy as it should have been but needed more seasoning and the macaroni just tasted like butter and wasn't really cheesy. My po boy was ok. The bread was very hard and flaky, it seemed like it was stale. We expected more from this place, taste AND service wise. read more

Out of this world Red Beans and Rice. FANTASTIC service, cold beer and a neat location. I travel all over the States and any time I am in New Orleans I make the 25 minute drive here. Oh, you get a breaded pork chop with the beans and rice...Oh and sausage...and corn bread. for like 7 bucks! read more

Stay in Slidell and went to Jazz Fest. Ate here 2 nites in a row. Awesome !

Excellent food. Service was less than stellar. Would recommend service personnel pay closer attention to customers.

The building is old but the food is great. It sort of reminds me of having a menu at my grandmas house. Home cooked favorites on the menu. I have only had 4 different items so far and all were really good. This place is on my short list of goto restaurants. read more

My wife and I go there regularly and mothers day we went there not knowing that they closed at three. We got there at quarter to three and figured if the buffet was closed wr.would get something off the menu. The girl said the buffet was still open so we got that it was.as good as.i thought it would be. Not knowing that they closed at three until like 3:15 and we.were holding them up and I told them we were.sorry they we didn't realize they closed at 3:00 and they had no problem with it and were polite as usual.we left at about 3:25 and they wished my wife a happy mother's day. It's nice to see Bonnie C. Has a good staff and good food. We are going back for Sunday breakfest with my family. Thank you Bonnie C's. Jake. read more

My husband and I stopped in Saturday and we tried the homemade lasagna and it was delicious. Well I was so excited that I thought I would try the Tuesday special, mashed potatoes, corn with tomatoes, beef patty with brown gravy and onions. Saturday a gentlemen was saying that all of their menu items were all home made and from scratch, well I have to say the mashed potatoes and gravy were not homemade. The gravy tasted like it came out of a can, the mashed potatoes were totally instant and terrible, the blue cheese dressing straight from a bottle. Needless to say I was dissappointed. May try again but right now I definetly do not have to go back!! Sorry Bonnie C's. read more

Everything was magical! Best place in Slidell hands down. It's a new restaurant so they have a few kinks to work out but with a little work and some regular customers this place could really take off. The menu has a huge selection which can be intimidating but everything I have tried has been absolutely fantastic. Give it a chance and don't be so quick to judge and you may be pleasantly surprised. read more

Avoid at all cost! Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was super packed. The wait time for me and my friend was 25-30 so we waited. The place looks like a diner and the atmosphere was like a Cici's Pizza! The whole place was too crowded, tables were too close together, people yelling and kids running around. We got our table and sat there for a good 10 minutes before our waitress came. We got our drinks and the waitress took our order. We waited for 20 minutes and got nothing. We noticed a table complaining that they haven't seen the waitress and that she forgot a part of their meal. The table to our left said they waited awhile too. The table to our right complained that they were still waiting on their appetizer! I would say pretty much that most of the restaurant were bored and waiting for their food because I noticed no one was eating! We noticed that another table complained that their food took too long and they refused to wait and pay so they left. The manager was there and apologized. Then the manager went to another couple at the bar and apologized to them too. There were about 5-6 waitresses but we barely saw them. We noticed one guy who brings out food but he was lost since he brought the food to two tables and the guests said that it wasn't their order. Our waitress was a horrible waitress! Not only was she rude, but she was very unsanitary! We witness her coughing, rubbing her face/hair, and touching a guest's shoulder right after! I was pretty much disgusted by her actions. I understand that people cough, but how she did it was the final straw for me and my friend to leave and to never come back! We didn't get her name since it wasn't on her uniform. Wished we had a better service and a chance to have tried the food. With that, I can't say much for the food but the experience, never again! read more

Went on Black Friday for dinner it was a slow night there was only 5 customers including me and my wife we elected to sit at the bar we waited for about 10 mins before the waitress finally came to serve us brought us drinks as we looked over the menu she never came back to see if we were ready she was more focused on her phone than her customers we had to keep calling her over we both ordered a bowl of soup shrimp and crab bisk along with the Friday special catfish jambalaya which is very good as we waited a lady from the kitchen brought us our meals and I asked her what about the soup she replied there wasn't a order for the soup so she went and brought us our soup the waitress screwed up and didn't place the order for the soup all during our time there we had to keep calling her over to refill our drinks she never once came to check on us all during the entire time she was so focused on her phone her name was Katie by the way fairly new cause we go there pretty often about 3 times a month then she had the nerve to ask us where the Best Western hotel was I declined to tell her if she had been more attentive to us and stepped up to the plate to be a real waitress I would have told her we will not be returning for a while read more
