My wife and I had a first visit for lunch today at Orlando's in Madisonville. We had the fried…read moreshrimp and catfish all-can-eat special and it was pretty good. The accompanying iced tea was also good and the service was friendly and welcoming. Our iced tea glasses were never allowed to be empty! The location is an older one with strong rural flavor and the decor pretty much shouts small town southern Louisiana. If you're looking for fancy you might be disappointed, but if you're looking for copious amounts of stick-to-your-ribs Louisiana food at reasonable prices you will enjoy Orlando's.

I wanted to order gumbo but they were out. My server, she was by herself today, jokingly said they were out of everything. Besides no gumbo, they were out of potato salad, lemonade and some other stuff. So I went with the All You Can Eat Shrimp and Catfish for $14.95 from the specials board. She brought out a large plate heaping with fried shrimp and catfish on top of fries with a slice of French bread. I didn't think I would be able to eat it all let alone get more, but I managed to eat all the shrimp and catfish by avoiding the fries all together. My meal was very flavorful and I enjoyed it immensely.

So pay attention to your Bill. That being said the place is pretty great. The service at the counter is friendly, however aside from food being brought out to your table, no waitress waited on tables and if you need something get up and get it or get up and tell someone. I ordered the BBQ shrimp sandwich. Had smaller shrimp than my friends poboy but it was tasty. It had that Crazy Johnnie's Nawlins flavor and even had the dipping sauce on the side! The shrimp poboy looked pretty awesome and my friend loved it. The place is clean and has a cool local mom and pop vibe with a Cracker Barrelesque flair. We weren't drinking but noticed they had quite an extensive collection of alcohol with a clean top notch bar. I would recommend but I will pay closer attention next time to my ticket and tip after I eat in cash and accordingly.

Accompanying salads were also good, although croutons were somewhat stale. I had a refreshing draft brew and my wife had a Bloody Mary, which was a little watery. She mentioned this to staff and her second was primo. Morton's remains one of our local favored spots.

I saw the rowdy "kid" play area (and could hear them) I get the reviews complaining, however it really is a lack of parenting issue, not the restaurant. The signature drinks, once being a "western sunset" , menu says 10$ in a maybe 6 ounce plastic cup (smallest cocktail I've seen at a restaurant) ended up being 12$ each on the bill. That is why I'm deducting a star, it was 20% higher for each tiny drink than expected. Bartender was very nice woman. I would return here for the wonderful view and tasty burger. I wouldn't order a dinky drink again.

Delicious caramelized bananas with a sweet cream, served hot and fluffy! It was perfection! The Sweet Potato Halos drizzled with icing were amazing as well. We also had the BBQ shrimp & grits, which the hubby loved. I also ordered an omelette with ham, sausage, bacon & cheese, toast and grits. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly.

For the price and the options in the area, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.
