    BLOT- if you find yourself in DeRidder, Louisiana, Eat Here! Clean! Great service, and very good food. There is a fun atmosphere upon entering with loads of picture opportunities. Big chairs, fun artwork, etc. The bar area is in the center of the restaurant with loads of places to sit. There are at least 12 tv's with all sports imaginable playing along with ice road truckers :) Something for everyone! Perfect start- warm spicy salsa and creamy beans. And the chips are perfect! We ordered the ribeye tampiqueño, which comes with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, one cheese enchilada and fresh tortillas. This steak is FLAVORFUL!! The cheese enchilada was perfectly balanced with loads of creamy cheese in a pillowy soft tortilla. I highly recommend. To finish there is an ice cream machine by the door. Perfect experience.

    This place is definitely the highlight of Louisiana in my opinion. The service is a 10/10. We had about 5 different people help and fill our drinks. We had the actual owner and restaurant manager come and check up on us constantly. The food was amazing, and price was reasonable. I definitely recommend, and I was as actually very surprised this place doesn't have 5 stars already. Service was amazing. Our friends baby accidentally dropped the chips that were brought and as soon as anyone saw, we had 3 different people come and clean for us. Happy hour is also very worth it. We had 3 drinks each, and they were no more than $13. Very please with the service, thank you so so much for such a great time and will definitely come again.

    Stopped in not knowing what to expect of TexMex in Deridder - was pleasantly surprised. Food and ambience was wonderful and our server Silvia was on her second day and was so nice! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

    Waiters are nice and start conversations to make you feel comfortable. Food is exquisite. The vibe is amazing.

    I love this wonderful Mexican gem of a restaurant. They have super clean dining, menus and restrooms, great service, and delicious food!! Did I say delicious? I mean so full of flavor. I bought the fajitas poblanos and they are probably hands down the best fajitas I have ever eaten. So yummy! Anyways my family also loved their food . I really have nothing to complain about here. The decor is awesome and entertaining. If I do have a complaint it would be that I don't really like so many TVs. There was about ten TV's no exaggeration. Most of them on different channels. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant and I am so glad that our little area boasts of such a great establishment!! I can't recommend this too much. One more note: our server was great but we don't like being called honey or love so please let the servers know not to be so familiar with strangers it was a little awkward. The salsa and chips and bean soup was spectacular I love their salsa and they were generously supplied when asked. I even like the large napkin that comes with the silverware. The silverware was not bad as well. I like a little more weighted and higher quality silverware .

    I liked bean dip and wife liked salsa. Unfortunately that was all. Burrito was bland and fish tacos nasty. Will never return

    This is the BBQ we've been missing. It's located in downtown DeRidder in an old bungalow converted…read moreinto a restaurant and run by some lovely people who really know their food. It's larger than it appears and is very clean. It is handicapped accessible, thankfully, with a ramp on the side and very large bathrooms. The menu is a la carte and the meat is sold by weight, so it is easy to over order by mistake. (I did, severely underestimating how much 1/3 of a pound was. So, I ended up with a generous portion of leftovers for my lunch the next day. Definitely a win-win scenario.) My husband and I both had the 1/3 lb pulled pork and a link of the jalapeño cheddar sausage (also approximately 1/3 lb). There was their own BBQ sauce on the table that others in my party liked, but I thought the pork was very well seasoned as is. The sausage was probably the best I've had, with a great jalapeño taste and lots of cheddar chunks throughout. The casing had a wonderful snap. My DIL had the brisket, so juicy and tender, and my son had the smoked turkey - really a superior meat. I chose the macaroni & cheese as a side. It was super creamy and had green chilies throughout, giving it a nice heat. My husband had the baked beans which he really enjoyed. The other side ordered was the tater tot casserole. That was knock-your-socks-off delicious. It made the famous chain restaurant ("CB") version of hash brown casserole pale in comparison. Seriously, it was unbelievably delicious. Every plate (tray) came with a homemade cucumber pickle and pickled onions, nice to cut the delicious meats' "fattiness." There was also a sweet cornbread muffin that tasted more dessert-y than side dish-y. A lovely young gentleman came out of the kitchen while we were eating to offer us a sample of their "beef bacon" they were trying out. It was really interesting, thin jerky-like beef, but tender with bacon flavoring. If they do decide to offer it, it could be a hit for them. Not picture - my husband got a banana pudding to take home. He thought it was one of the best he's had. The rest of us were too full to think about dessert, something we regretted later on. Yes, this place is a bit on the expensive side, but it was absolutely worth every penny. The meats and the sides were so high quality and delicious, homey food with a five-star treatment.

    The Brisket at this place is amazing. All of the sides are…read morebursting with southern flavor and the staff couldn't be any better. The second you walk across that wooden front porch and swing open the gateway to country charm and southern hospitality. Your taste buds are screaming from the mesmerizing smell of the "unruhly" beast. If you are coming to deridder and want to satisfy your Barbecue addiction. DO NOT let this place go without trying.
