The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service by the owner, Kyle. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the visit. It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

The other customers were all friendly and made conversation too. Lots of people grabbing a bite to eat here before heading upstairs to the Attic for live music. Now the food! Damn, that was good. I had the special, crawfish and shrimp creole. It had a lot of flavor and just the right kick from the spices. The rice was perfectly fluffy, and I couldn't stop eating the hush puppies. If you're here, grab dat hurricane too. I could sip on that all day, especially in the summer.

There are multiple options as far as seating. Each one is different from the next. The oysters are a must, take your pick how you want to try them but I would recommend the Oysters NOLA and the Voodoo Po'boy. The Sazerac is on the sweet side but don't let that dissuade you. Worth it. 100%.

We love Evangeline's!…read more With its beautiful, airy wooden interior and nightly live music, dining here was a lovely and comfortable taste of New Orleans. The Pimm's cup (Pimm's no 1, lemonade, white soda, mint) was deliciously sweet, refreshing and very low alcohol. The Crawfish Carolyn had so many crawfish tails in a well balanced brandy cream sauce under a thick layer of cheese. It was an amazing dish served with buttery French bread. The Blackstrap Molasses Bacon Beignet Burger was an unexpected and creative use of a beignet as a burger bun. It only partly worked because the beignet, which was mostly air, got soggy and slightly bitter. However, the patty was extremely thick and juicy and the bacon had a smoky sweet depth of flavor. The Kool-Aid pickle was good and we loved the clementines and strawberries side dish. The only downside was the service. The waiter was nice but mixed up our order which resulted in us waiting twice as long and not having the meat cooked to our liking. There was also a long wait for the check. Regardless, the atmosphere was a 6/5 and the food was a 4/5. We will definitely return!

It's the rare occasion when I get to visit a restaurant that was featured on the TV show "Diners,…read moreDrive-ins and Dives," and it's a true privilege. I don't take it lightly. I spent a lot of time preparing. My mom even made me a special outfit. Remember, in the movie Goodfellas, when Joe Pesci thought he was about to become a made guy? It was kind of like that. Fortunately, I wasn't led into an empty room where I was promptly shot in the back of the head. (Whew!) I was conscious of the potential for violence at Hwy 61 Roadhouse, because its name--and the overall vibe--calls to mind the classic Patrick Swayze movie from the 1980s, which was in fact set in Missouri. I was ready to punch my way out of there, if necessary. The crowd here skews older, and it occurred to me that I may have been able to take out quite a few of them on my own. There was live music, and the band called to mind something you might see in a circa-'97 Christopher Guest movie, or Marty and Bobbi Culp. It gets loud, to the point where you can't hear what the person across the table from you is saying. You might consider bringing a date here, if you'd prefer not having a conversation. A guy from my running group loves this place and spoke highly of the BBQ Spaghetti. Normally, I wouldn't eat anything like that, but this guy seems like he might know ball when it comes to delicious restaurant meals, if you catch my drift. Turns out, he wasn't wrong. It wasn't just good, this might be the way to eat pulled pork. I'd make it at home, except that store-bought barbecue sauce is disgustingly sweet and processed-tasting, and it wouldn't be worth trying to make my own. I toyed with the idea of getting a burger, which is a safe go-to in restaurants in areas where the spice level is often inquired about, but I've eaten so many of them lately. Then I saw that they carry a Shrimp Po Boy. It seemed like the perfect choice. Shrimp Po Boys are never not good, even the one they used to carry at Popeyes during Lent back in the pre-chicken sandwich era, and this place supposedly specializes in Cajun food. It didn't disappoint... for the most part. It was a bit bread-forward for my liking. Some places hollow out the bread a little bit, to make room for the fillings. Hwy 61 doesn't, and they use a weirdly large roll. I love bread, so this wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there was nothing particularly special about this bread. They load you up on shrimp, which are fried hard, like chicken wings from a hood Chinese place. It makes for a satisfying crunch. The lettuce and tomatoes provided a fresh, healthy-seeming contrast, and the remoulade is just spicy enough to keep things interesting. I'm definitely curious to try some of the other menu items, including some of the more authentic Cajun selections--the etouffees, gumbos and what have you. If only I could get them to bring me a sampling of everything, "on the arm." I'd show up in backwards sunglasses and tell them I'm there filming a TV show, but alas, they've already been featured on a TV show, and I wouldn't want to run the risk of having to actually fight someone.

The spaghetti was blander than I remember too. I thought the sauce used to be spicier. We'll have to give them another try. The restaurant is decorated with a fun vibe. We were there on a trivia night, but we were leaving as it was starting. It looked like fun. They also have a lot of live music too.

The cook told me I would like it, and he was right. Soup- Didn't really care for it, honestly tasted like can soup. Service: A little slow, but to be expected. Similarly to the other restaurants in the Foundry, employees are either on their phone via bluetooth or seems like not looking for business. We were waiting to place an order but the person who was taking the order is also the same person cooking. I think he was focus on cooking and talking with whoever was on the phone. A second employee came from the back to assist once more customer started to come. Honestly service got better once I started to snap photos. Ambiance - LGBTQIA flag being displayed. Welcoming Areas for improvement: I don't think think their menu does any justice in explaining the food. I saw a couple orders that looks really delicious but not how I had imagined it to look. * Greet customer and let them know you will be right with them. *Consider adding rice dishes, especially for take out orders. Fries doesn't travel well. Recommendation: Try them out the next time you are in the Foundry!

Gumbo 2 Geaux is the perfect place to dine on Friday during Lent. I went for one of my favorites,…read moreClam Strips, but they were sold out. Since there were no clams, I went for the Catfish Basket. The Catfish Basket had multiple catfish fritters, steak fries and two hush puppies. They also provided a cup full of sliced onions and pickles. Plus, a small serving of Remoulade. I enjoyed the cajun breading on the catfish, it had a flavorful spicy kick. The steak fries were cut fat and thick and I liked the seasoning. For me, they could have been crispier. The Hush Puppies were good, but I was disappointed when I saw a box of Classic Hush Puppies being delivered by their supplier. Homemade Hush Puppies are so much more flavorful. They've been promoting, Barq's Creme Soda on FB and Creme Soda was a favorite when I was growing up, so I couldn't resit ordering one. It was cool, refreshing and brought back flashes of memories. Oh, it was also a great accompaniment beverage to my Lent dinner. Customer Service is good, because chances are you will be waited on by one of the owners. They are true hands on owners and big supporters of the Alton community.

We were excited to try this new Cajun-style restaurant, and the food did not disappoint! We were…read morethe first ones in the door at opening and ordered to dine inside. The Crab Cakes, Messy Wedges, and Crawfish Ravioli were all amazing. The rice was slightly undercooked, but the sauce and main ingredients were absolutely delicious. Since it was our first visit, we ordered directly from the menu. We later noticed many other guests ordering the lobster mac & cheese--which we definitely would have tried (and even taken to go) had we known about it sooner. After realizing we had forgotten dessert, we placed an order for two slices of King Cake to go about 15 minutes after our lunch order. Unfortunately, this took an additional 45 minutes to receive. Be prepared for longer waits--anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes for food. The staff that day seemed a bit overwhelmed and struggled with ticket organization. Several customers picking up pre-ordered King Cakes were told it would be at least an hour, or staff couldn't locate their orders. We also witnessed a couple of customers return because half of their orders were missing. It was Mardi Gras weekend, so definitely a peak time, and the staff clearly could have used more support. That said, everyone remained patient and understanding through the hiccups. Would I come back? Absolutely. The food was excellent, and the turtle King Cake slices were incredible! I'd recommend having a visible board listing daily specials, available "by-the-slice" King Cake flavors, and dessert or donut options. There were so many things we would have loved to try but didn't realize were available. Overall, a great hidden gem with fantastic food--and tons of potential as things smooth out.

Colleen wasn't on top of everything today. She didn't do a horrible job, but I expected to see her more . Originally I asked for water with no lemon to drink. She brought me a water with lemon. She left before I could remind her that I didn't want and lemon. I took her a while to come back to the table to take our orders. After placing my order I asked for water with no lemon. She brought me another glass with no lemon. Although her service did not meet my expectations, I didn't let it affect my dining here today. I also had barbecue wings for an appetizer. Those were good. They were crispy. But I like the Cajun honey hot wings much better.
