Yesterday they had a special and I went by and picked up 5 pounds of cold boiled crawfish and had those today. there was a special on, and I won't quote the price, but it was the lowest I've seen crawfish in years. I was so excited I forgot to get corn and potatoes. We were so happy when they came back after they were severely flooded in 2016. The new space is much nicer than the old one was. Over the years they have expanded their fresh seafood while sticking with only things that are truly fresh. They also have a frozen section with a great variety. The younger generation that's taken over staffing. The restaurant are carrying on the family tradition. It's always a pleasure to stop by.

After hearing Randy's was the place for big, hot, delicious crabs, my husband and I pulled up on…read moreFriday, July 24th, ready to feast. Let's start with the parking lot. They have plenty of parking, which is great because you'll need the extra space to dodge potholes the size of kiddie pools. That lot is in horrible condition!! By the time we parked, our car needed a mechanic chiropractor. Unlike the parking lot, the inside was clean and moderately busy. When it was finally our turn, I confidently ordered hot large crabs. Pointing towards the display case showcasing a pan containing a moderate amount of cold crabs, the cashier replied, "We do not have large size hot crabs, only medium size cold crabs at $7.99 a pound." I slowly turned and looked at my husband with the universal married look that says, "Did we come all this way for refrigerated disappointment?" My husband the optimistic one decided we'd go ahead and get some anyway. As the employee began filling our order, I noticed she was selecting the smallest crabs from underneath the larger ones on display. I politely asked if she could choose larger ones instead, but my request wasn't acknowledged. After asking again and still receiving no response, I requested to select the crabs myself and was not acknowledged. At that point, we decided not to complete the purchase. For us, customer service is just as important as the food. We have a rule. If the service isn't there or the product isn't what a business is known for, it's okay to walk away. We almost settled, and that's never a good idea--especially these days when every dollar counts. And let's be honest the crabs were cold and my imagination started asking questions. How long have they been sitting there? Are these today's crabs...or are we on yesterday's episode? Maybe Randy's has amazing days. Maybe people leave carrying steaming bags of giant crabs while angels sing overhead. Friday, July 24th, just wasn't one of those days. Between the obstacle-course parking lot that doesn't qualify for FEMA assistance, the missing hot crabs, and being completely ignored by employee, this trip was an empty shell of what we expected.

When I saw someone walk by with a bowl of jambalaya, I asked where it was from and if it was spicy. The man told me no and pointed me in the direction of the blue truck. When I got to the window, I asked if the jambalaya was spicy, the man said "no, It is full of spice but not spicy, it is family friendly." I said "I am going to trust you cause I don't do spicy. I'm like the worst Indonesian person ever." We took our boat of jambalaya back to our booth and my husband and I dug in. Three bites in, he says "I'm surprised you're eating this, it's pretty spicy." As I wipe the sweat (possibly tears) from under my eyes, I say "I don't care, it's that good. But I don't know how kids can eat this. Family friendly is a lie!" The End. Would I dine or dash? Definitely dine, but with a large cup of ice cold milk. (You guys should offer milk)

Upon arrival, we were impressed by the magnificient beauty of this place. It is GORGEOUS! The interior is very classy and elegant, with a beautiful staircase just as you enter. Outside, you are surrounded by exquisitely maintained gardens. It was absolutely stunning. It was an outside wedding, and the set up was nice. Afterward, we were guided to the patio area for the reception. There was a full bar set up to the left as you entered, and a mimosa station to the right of the patio. A nice set up area for the disc jockey. Hor d'oeurves were served to the guests while the guests waited for the arrival of the bride and groom. The hor d'oeurves they were serving were small boudin balls, grilled shrimp in bacon with what tasted like mild bbq sauce on them, and small grilled cheese. All were awesome. After the arrival of the bride and groom, the main food was served. They had this really cool set up that served shrimp and grits in martini glasses. You were able to add a variety of other items to your grits if you wanted. The other food areas served pork loin that could be made into small sandwiches. Another area had fried catfish, stuffed mushrooms, and pasta. The fried fish tasted as good as any restaurant I have ever been to. ALL of the food was restaurant quality, and served hot, not room temperature. I figured out it is owned by John Folse. You can definitely tell by the food quality! AWESOME! The staff were all VERY friendly and cordial. The facility was clean and well kept up. Absolutely gorgeous. I was nosy and asked the bride's mom what the event cost because it seemed to me that it HAD to be very expensive. I was actually stunned at the price she told me because I've been to weddings that cost significantly more, and were no where near as high class, elegant, simply GORGEOUS, and the food as fabulous. If you are looking for a venue for an event or a wedding, this hidden gem is DEFINITELY one to check out! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS (I can't say this enough!)

There are many plantation homes in the South and there are a few that are very dear to me (Houmas House and Oak Alley) but White Oak is numero uno in my books.

So addictive! White Oak hosts many events here such as weddings, corporate meetings, and parties. They also do off-site catering.
