    Eggplant Napoleon
    Devon P.

    The waiter was incredible. We had a huge table coming in however the food was disgusting. I got the eggplant napoleon and that was probably the best thing we collectively all got together. The eggplant was watery but the pasta was still 7/10. My sister in law got the 40 dollar steak, not only did it come out raw once but twice. The water tasted disgusting??? The fried shrimp were okay but I've had way better shrimp else where. Nothing was really seasoned other than the steak that came out rare twice and my eggplant. The étouffée was the worst I've ever had. The only reason i gave it two stars was because the staff was incredible. It was really only the food that would never make me return to this location.

    Grilled Shrimp
    Prentiss M.

    Had some time off from work to have a PROPER lunch so I looked this place up and gave them a shot. 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! 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.

    Shrimp po boy
    Erika T.

    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. Seated on the patio to finish up some work. 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.

    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. Really pretty views of the lake too.

    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!

    This is a fabulous find, hidden by the lake, in the middle of nowhere! The food is Superb as is the service! Everyone including the owner the greeter the bartender and chef, give you service like nowhere else, and make you feel right at home! The atmosphere is warm, charming, and eclectic! It's definitely a destination place for lunch or date night! Our server was Tori.. So Sweet and knowledgeable! I wish I could mention everyone by name who were All wonderful!

    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.

    Grilled, stuffed catfish
    Jeaneé S.

    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.

The greek salad is ok, the lettuce was brown and tasted kind of old. The fried calamari batter was super plain, calamari was small and over cooked and the marinara they serve it with was watery. I hope that is not the same marinara they serve with their pasta dishes. The dinner rolls come in a brown paper bag? Weird.

    I had a pleasant experience at Petra…read more The waiter/bartender (possibly owner?) was so sweet and welcoming. She was super attentive. I had the salmon over spinach and added mushrooms. When I tell you that was top 5 best salmon I've ever eaten. It was so flavorful and moist. It was PERFECTLY seasoned and cooked. The spinach, veggies, and potatoes were an excellent touch of freshness. I will definitely be back for the salmon. The Caesar salad was also divine. In fact, I think it's the best Caesar salad I've tried. The dressing is slightly more tart than other Caesar dressings; however, it's tart in the most palate-pleasing way. The cheese was abundant and fresh, and the romaine was crisp and fresh. I did not try the redfish but our family friend was satisfied. Finally, the warm rolls with that butter are enough to start a fight over for the last roll. I ate 3 at the table, which I never do. They're so light, buttery, and are served warm. The butter is possibly a whipped garlic butter concoction. I had to stop eating them. Overall, I really enjoyed our dinner. Do not be thrown off by the dated decor--some of the best food comes from places like these. My only hangup is the imported seafood. I'm not a big fan of imported seafood, in general. However, I do not think that takes away from the restaurant if you're looking for a great meal. And I'm mindful that domestic costs are often (and are growing) financially infeasible for some restaurants. Great spot!!

Jambalaya Shoppe came highly recommended by a work buddy so I met him there one day. After that, it became my go-to lunch spot. Like its name indicates, this place sells a bunch of jambalaya. I rarely eat jambalaya that isn't made by me so I was skeptical. But they also sell gumbo which every red blooded Louisianaian loves so that is what I ordered. The gumbo here is legitimately good. It is filled with large pieces of chicken. When I say large, I mean multiple whole thighs. Get it with a fork and knife. Seriously. This is not your normal restaurant gumbo. It is thick, rich, and has a well developed roux. In addition to the massive amounts of chicken, it also includes a massive amount of sausage. Luckily for me, it came pre sliced and only the chicken needed to be cut up before eating. The best thing about the gumbo is that it is super reasonable. Don't quote me on prices because my brain doesn't work so good, but I think it was like $9 with tax for gumbo and a water. This is a massive meal for $9! If you want good gumbo, and are in LaPlace, get yourself to Jambalaya Shoppe.

They have a young staff and management could work on speech with staff. I had to ask our staff person three times what he was saying. Atmosphere is nice the place looked clean and the tablecloth is set for kids to have fun. So good place for little ones. They have booths and tables. We ordered chargrilled oysters for the table. They arrived in middle of meal. Timing off. They were good but not Drago's. They could have had more cheese and garlicky sauce. We split a seafood platter which feeds two people a good lunch. It had shrimp, fish, oysters fries and hush puppies. I am glad the chef does not over salt. The fish was not to our liking. They use catfish but the fish was very muddy tasting. I trimmed all the blood line off the meat but fish was ruined due to not being cleaned properly. Shrimp were very good. They are a nice size fried in a light batter and deboned. They would be something I would go back for. The oyster were good but they had a different seasoning that didn't enhance the flavor. I wish you guys the best but you really need to stand out cause the competition in south Louisiana is fierce.
