Had some time off from work to have a PROPER lunch so I looked this place up and gave them a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coming from the main road traveling down the side road to get to the restaurant is a beautiful sight! I love the location over the water![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once I got in there was no waiter present, so I seated myself. There were only 3 active tables with guest with ONE waiter. After 15 mins she came and got my order and brought me some water. Well once I got my food 30 mins later, my appetizer was cold, complete cold! I only have maybe an half hour before I get back to work so I just kept the dish. The batter on the tomatoes were very bland! Like it didn't taste like anything. The shrimp were very dry as well. Once I got my grilled shrimp plate, I thought I was in for a treat but .... I was wrong! The plate was extremely hot so I'm preeeeettttyy sure they nuked the dish before bringing it to me because my food was like warm. The BEST thing I had out of my 2 dishes were the Hushpuppies, if they would season their batter like the hushpuppies this place would be jumping!!!! As always let's take the time and apply some more love in the kitten crew. Happy Yelping. read more

Found this place on a Yelp search. Waiting for my hotel room to be ready needed to get some food. Perk it was on the lake and it was a nice day out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seated on the patio to finish up some work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitress was great and very friendly. Ordered the Cajun kickers as my appetizer. They came out hot and tasted so good. I could have eaten another order and been happy. Ordered the shrimp po boy with onion rings. There was so much shrimp on the sandwich it was almost (I ate it ) hard to eat. I needed a little more mayo and lettuce but it was good and the shrimp had good flavor. The breading was thick but not greasy. For my white person palette, a bit too much salt, but again that is just my taste. I would recommend going, they have a lot of options on the menu I would have liked to try. read more

We came here for a wedding and had a great time. The staff was super attentive and all the girls were really sweet. A lot of different food was served and all of it was hot and fresh. Shrimp was probably both of our favorite. Drinks were well made and came out quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really pretty views of the lake too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place tucked away on the west shore of the Big Lake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been here twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner. Better make a reservation if you are coming for dinner. Oysters Frenier are a don't miss appetizer. Fresh seafood and steaks are great! Only down side was we were in the bar at dinner and they were slammed. so service was slow, but friendly though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a young lady singing and playing guitar that was awesome... only 17, but knew so many songs right from heart heart.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had not been here in years, way before Joe became the chef. I wanted to choose something different for my husband's birthday and we prefer not to go to Orleans Parish if we don't have to. I cannot say enough about the staff or the food. The staff were genuine and excellent. I had one of the drink soecials: a passionfruit marg. Really yummy. Hubby had the soft shell platter: 2 nice size crabs perfectly cooked with fries and veggies that he said were fresh and delicious. I had the Eggplant Napoleon with shrimp and crabmeat and a crawfish cream sauce over linguine. It was lovely. We were both so glad we gave Frenier Labding another chance. Looking forward to returning! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic food, fantastic service and definitely a fantastic atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend it to anybody.

So we had a swamp tour at 2:15. We needed food first. We came to Frenier Landing at about 1:30. First off all, beautiful location, right at the edge of the lake! There is some outdoor seating, and great views if you happen to get a seat by the window. We were seated and our order taken in about 5 min. For Louisiana, our food came out, relatively quickly, at around 1:50. We also asked for the bill immediately, just so we could make a fast exit when finished. The food itself was great! I got the oyster po boy, all dressed, and it was well fried. My mother got the grilled chicken sandwich, and noted that the fresh pepper was delicious and the chicken was well cooked. My father got the crab cake sandwich and also loved it, particularly the sauce added to it. Definitely a nice place to stop if you're not in a hurry! And we did make it to the swamp tour in time. read more

Made reservation for 2 to sit inside. It took hostess about 5 minutes to wait on us. She asked if we mind sitting at the bar. I said yes I mind I have a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She then tried to seat us at a booth where the light over the table was burned out. I told her no.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She then said well I can't put you at this other booth because it's a reservation but found one for us. Hello! I had a reservation! The iced tea was basically water. The Alfredo pasta was dry but the soft shell crab was a nice size and very good. The calamari app was great as well. I likely will not return. My last visit was several years ago with the previous management and the food and experience was excellent back then. read more

Food is great! We go fishing the power lines by the restaurant and catch specks and redfish then go eat! Best day ever!

We were a little nervous after some of the reviews but we were very happy with our visit. We had the crawfish kickers, grilled & stuffed catfish and the seafood platter. Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly. (We're sensitive to too much salt and this wasn't an issue for us) The staff was attentive and friendly and the location was really nice. read more

Looking for a place for authentic southern style food, this place was recommended by the hotel. I ate in the oyster bar & was promptly waited on & gave my order. The oysters, shrimp & catfish was excellent & very fresh. I was looking for turtle soup & inquired about it with a gentleman close by who was shucking oysters. He was kind enough to research it for me & found a place up the road that had it on their menu. The service was very good as was the food. read more

Bland onion rings, rancid crab cake. Fish tacos returned. I should have just walked out when I had the chance. The reason why I went was for Adam Pearce. But it was rained out, and we went the next night. read more

My husband and I walked here from Zip Nola to get a bite and a drink while we waited for our taxi back to the city. It's so beautiful and they have a ton of outdoor seating. It overlooks Lake Pontchartrain and the view is just stunning. We just got the calamari and I got some champagne and my husband got a beer. Their prices are very reasonable and the service was good. read more

I'd call this a hidden gem! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, food, atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Water view from almost every seat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We usually eat here once a year during Mardi Gras. Today we decided to stop after a Saints game and so glad we did. Food was great. Try the bread pudding!! It's not what it appears on the menu. Jessica in the bar area was super friendly and took great care of us. Great place to dine when heading back to Baton Rouge from New Orleans! read more

Went here for lunch with a really large group(25 people). We called about an hour ahead of time and they prepared tables very quickly but were not prepared on the food front. I got the crawfish poboy; it was very good-wanted to try it since we were in New Orleans. There was a restaurant side and a more casual side which was cute. They forgot 3 of our groups food, when they realized and asked us again they apologized and said they would bring it right out...30 minutes later still nothing. We asked again and they would not produce it, with little to no explanation, they offered us different options for food but would not tell us why we couldn't get what we ordered. We were there for about 2 1/2 hour. It was absolutely ridiculous and when we were leaving they gave us sweet potato fries. Our waiter told us he wanted to leave with us saying there was a problem in the kitchen. They need to get it together, bad experience. read more

Nice little place off the beaten path with a river view if you sit outside (I would recommend a reservation if you want to sit outside). Hubs randomly found this place so we checked it out on a weekend. Heads up as with every other place in America right now the service is a little more extended but we were meeting with another party so we didn't mind but if you are in a rush I would not recommend. The food was fresh and came out fast. The portion of the alligator sausage is skimpy so I would personally skip that. The boiled shrimp was pretty taste. The seafood dishes we had tasted really fresh which one would hope being so close to the water. Overall this would be a nice restaurant for a date or just wanting a restaurant with a view. read more

Excellent options for seafood! Really great cocktails and a wonderful staff. The chargrilled oysters are really good too.

Disappointing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Reminiscent of a rustic Louisiana camp with a nice view over Lake Pontchartrain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was completely underwhelming. No seasoning or taste whatsoever. A poor representation of Louisiana cuisine. It tasted like it was cooked by a yankee. read more

The food is overpriced for taste, quality, and portion size. I ordered the eggplant napoleon with crabmeat stuffing. Please see pic. When I asked if it's supposed to have crabmeat, the waitress said yes, and went to talk to kitchen, they said it's in the stuffing in the middle. $23 waste. Not To mention the salt in the dish was absent and the sauce was very little with no flavor. The gumbo had a weird taste and one single shrimp for $10. The kids only ate their fries. My 3 yo who eats EVERYTHING, took one bite of the chicken tender and refuse to eat the rest. The fried fish platter, we asked for it grilled instead...it was salty and one single fillet with a bunch of fries. The fried green tomatoes...the breading on the tomato was quite strange. The crabmeat and shrimp on top was okay. The charbroiled oysters were so tiny and only okay. Overal, $150 with tip...definitely not worth it. I'm not sure who the chef is in the kitchen but don't waste your time or your money. Service was decent though. read more

Frenier Landing - Y'all see any type of stuffing with crabmeat. And those high key sliced eggplant...the bread served with dishes was soooo HARD - Cajun/Creole Near Me - LaPlace, Louisiana

Hidden away a few miles from the interstates is Frenier Landing a jewel of a restaurant with expansive views of Lake Pontchartrain and a menu of seafood and local favorites to please. Frienier Landing has plentiful seating inside and outside, with a live band playing from 1 - 4pm on Sundays. We also noticed they could easily accommodate private groups. On our visit we started with an appetizer of Crawfish Kickers which were hush puppies prepared with plentiful amounts of crawfish inside! Every bite was an exquisite delight! For entrees we enjoyed a platter of HUGE barbecue shrimp. By huge I mean Gigantic Shrimp in a generously tasty barbecue sauce. We also devoured their blackened catfish stuffed with crabmeat and hush puppies! Frenier Landing is an excellent restaurant, I highly recommend to couples seeking an intimate night out and small groups of friends celebrating. I look forward to my next visit here to sample more of the menu. read more

Today we made a trip to Frenier Landing. A beloved chef lost her business to Hurricane Ida so she has been hired to do her daily specials at this restaurant which is a very nice place on the shores of Lake Pontchatrain back of LaPlace. They took on some damage but we're on the mends and serving very good dishes. I went for the fried chicken done by Cheryl Burger. I have eaten her cooking for 35 years. So off we went. She does not disappoint. The breast was so moist and fried to perfection. My husband got the daily special of Redfish. It was beautifully plated cooked to perfection with a side of steamed yellow and green squash with broccoli cooked to perfection. The fish was done not over cooked. I would highly recommend the place for a nice lunch or dinner. read more

The shrimp Tasso soup was 4/5 (salty). Fried shrimp over cooked. Fries cold. BBQ shrimp were swimming in liquid and had to be peeled, a messy situation. The bread was good. Server was nice, she made up for the food. read more

I was headed out to LaPlace to drop something off to someone. I searched yelp looking for somewhere to have an early lunch with my son. I decided to give this place a try. The view is great. Sadly it was cold and rainy that day so we couldn't sit outside. The view from the window was real nice though. I got raw oysters and boiled shrimp. The oysters were deliciously salty and fresh. The shrimp were really big and had a string iodine taste. The seasoning on them was great though. My son had fried fish and fries. Both were delicious. I got a side order of potato salad because my son loves it. It was sweeter than would I would make, but it was still really good. My son ate it up! The building is nice. The decor is good for they type of place it is. I'm going to be back for sure. read more

We were excited to be in such an interesting spot. The restaurant is a huge building right on the lake. We sat outside and enjoyed a delicious red fish dinner. Everything tasted great, everything was cooked perfectly. We also had bacon wrapped shrimp, a first for us and it was very good. Flan for dessert, so delicious. It was Easter and lots of families were getting together there for dinner. It was a super experience on Lake Pontchartrain. read more

We stopped for an early dinner on our way home. The place was not crowded but we waited 15 minutes for someone to seat us. Not a big deal but first impressions! We ordered a pretty simple meal, my husband got an appetizer and wedge salad and I ordered 1 pound of boiled shrimp. His came out quickly but mind took an additional 30 minutes. When it arrived it looked like BBQ shrimp and was spicy as the menu advertised that dish to be. I asked twice and they assured me it was boiled shrimp. I could not eat it due to It be so spicy hot! They did comp the entree but I hope they explain more on the menu of how their boiled shrimp are prepared. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Let me start off by saying our waitress was very friendly. Drove 45 minutes and got cold food, slow service and a half hearted apology with an offer of comped dessert but why would we want to wait there any longer? We ordered appetizers, the crawfish balls were amazing, the calamari was mostly breading and hard. My father in laws tea tasted old, we all know this happens no biggie. The soup lacked seasoning unfortunately but nothing a little salt and hot sauce didn't fix. After our appetizers were cleared, 45 minutes later we FINALLY received our food. COLD . 3/4 of our plates were cold, my father in law ate quickly, my mil and I politely asked for our food to be reheated. 20 minutes later they came back out with the same food but hot this time. The crab cake is mostly mushy breading and crab was chewy. Bonus chunk of shell to top it off, chunk not flake of shell. read more

Frenier Landing - Crab cake sandwich - Cajun/Creole Near Me - LaPlace, Louisiana

Decided to try something new and came here. We waited 20 minutes for seats with a reservation. Then waited another 25 minutes before the waiter decided to ask for our drink orders. About 10 minutes later we put our food orders in. The appetizers came after 30 minutes. The chargrilled oysters were not up to standard and lacked flavor. After another hour and 15 minutes our food finally came. Food was just okay and was expecting better. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty nice including good music but at the end of the day the service and food ruined the experience for us. Also the food is extremely over priced. 21 bucks for a burger is absolutely insane. read more
