We met some friends for dinner on a Saturday at 4pm. When we arrived, the place was empty. The…read moredecor is what you would expect for Cajun seafood place. I really loved the painted wall. We ordered the 50-50 catfish and shrimp combo and the c'est la vie potato. With our tea and lemonade, the total came to $47.64. Unfortunately, the meal definitely did not meet our expectations. The fish and shrimp were small, the potato was small and undercooked in the middle and hard to chew. Only saw two small bites of crabmeat in the sauce. Well, the food itself had an acceptable flavor, it just was not enough to be satisfying. We left hungry and ended up stopping somewhere else to eat. I will say the waitress was nice. This was my first visit and my last.

Three days ago I bought a dozen #1 boiled crabs from them, at a price of nearly $60/dozen ($5.00…read moreeach)! I was excited to get them, and couldn't wait to get home. Usually, I fill up on two #1 (maybe three) crabs and peel the rest for other delicious meals I prepare. To my utter disgust, the crabs were small to medium in size, and there was hardly any meat inside. They looked dirty. There was only one crab in the dozen that had "white" crab meat inside, and it was hardly even a #2 crab. I called them after opening 7 of the crabs, and they wanted me to bring them back to exchange or get a refund. I'm 40 minutes away. I asked if others had complained and they said "no". I find that really hard to believe! I can honestly say that I will take Christian Brothers off my list for seafood.

Great #1 boiled grabs at the best price in town. Great service and many other items available.read more

We both decided to have steaks and WOW! Filet with cream spinach and Cajun ribeye special were the entrees. Beverages paired nicely! I've found the blueberry lemon drop to be my ABSOLUTE favorite cocktail they serve. Destiny was our waiter and she was attentive and on point with beverage refills. The bar just seems to run a bit slowly... wait time for starting round on average seems a bit slow. Appreciate how restaurant has many smaller rooms to keep noise levels down.

I haven't been to Sno's in some years but I will say this place was ok. I have had better seafood…read more As soon as I walked in the ambiance was very nice, very nice and open and very welcoming. As soon as the hostess sat us down I noticed that the table were very close by each other which I don't like simply bc I could hear the next tables conversation and it was hard to have a conversation of my own. Other than that, the service was good. Our waiter was very nice and efficient and knew the menu like the back of his hand! I ordered the Dru Platter which was the choice of two items off the seafood platter and I got the friend shrimp and fish and it was pretty good. The shrimp were my favorite and it was fried and seasoned very well. For dessert I had the white chocolate bread pudding and it was very good! Very moist and not to sweet but just right! If I go again this would be something that I would definitely get! No if, ands, or buts about it! That bread pudding was a 10/10! Overall, I would rate this place. 6/10!

So, I gave it a chance. We made reservations and were seated almost immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was a little cold inside, the strawberry lemonade was delicious and the food overall was very good. The oysters were actually really good! I was especially excited that they let me try one I had never seen on a menu before, the BBQ oysters jalapeño. It was fun stepping outside of my usual order, I was glad I did. It was a rainy day, so we ended up getting pretty soaked coming in and leaving but that certainly wasn't the restaurant's fault. What really stood out was the service. Our waiter was incredibly accommodating, attentive and friendly, the entire waitstaff made us feel welcome. The restaurant was also clean, bathroom as well which I always appreciate. Overall, I had a great experience. I'm glad I gave Mike Anderson's a try. Great food, great service and I'd definitely come back.

All the standard fried seafood is what you hoped and is the best. Rich dark Seafood Gumbo with layers of flavor. I enjoyed the Gulf boiled shrimp and sweet corn on the cob.

Top Notch Seafood & More…read more 40529 Sycamore Ave, Gonzales, LA 70737 Pulled up to Top Notch Seafood and somehow ordered half the menu. Started with the Crawfish Kickers: crispy little crawfish bites that were gone quick. The Top Notch Loaded Fries came piled with cheese, jalapeños, and bacon and honestly could've been a meal by themselves. The Top Notch Cheeseburger with Fried Shrimp is exactly the kind of Louisiana combo I didn't know I needed; juicy burger with crispy shrimp on top? Say no more! I also grabbed the Lemon Pepper Wings (nice citrus kick and crispy) and finished it off with the Crawfish Pasta that was creamy and loaded with crawfish. Safe to say I rolled out of here happy.
