    I recently dined at Sun Buns Bar and Grill and I have to say... it competes directly with the most…read moreelite dining experiences in New Orleans. Now, in New Orleans fine dining, the evening usually begins with a waiter describing something simple like mayonnaise as if it has a graduate degree. "Tonight's aioli is locally inspired, emotionally complex, and pairs well with the existential nature of shrimp." At Sun Buns, they skip the lecture and go straight to culinary freedom. First off, the vibe. Boats pulling up, people in flip-flops, drinks the size of a toddler, and a patio that feels like summer camp for adults who definitely should have hydrated more earlier in the day. It's casual, it's fun, and nobody here is worried about which fork is for the salad. But the real innovation -- the thing that truly separates Sun Buns from the white-tablecloth restaurants of New Orleans -- is the condiment station in the corner. At a fancy restaurant, they bring you a tiny dish of sauce and warn you not to waste it. At Sun Buns they basically say: "The condiments are over there. Take what you need. Take what you want. Live your truth." It's like a buffet... but for sauces. Ketchup. Mustard. Hot sauce. Possibly ranch if the stars align. You walk over like you're about to conduct a science experiment on your burger. Nobody's judging. In fact, the only awkward moment is when you realize you've committed to far more ketchup than the structural integrity of your plate can handle. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, a chef is somewhere carefully placing one microgreen on a scallop with tweezers. Here? You're balancing chicken strips in one hand and returning from the condiment station like you just robbed a sauce bank. In summary: * Fine dining in New Orleans: tiny plates, artistic drizzle patterns, and a waiter explaining the carrot's childhood. * Sun Buns: "Condiments are in the corner. Godspeed." Five stars. Great food, great atmosphere, and a condiment station that encourages the kind of reckless sauce decisions that make dining truly memorable.

    Great atmosphere and people. Drinks were good and so was the food! Pirates took over and tried to…read moredrink the bar dry!

    First timers here!! Great view of Lake! And loved atmosphere…read more Light crowd between lunch and supper was just right for us. Enjoyed the food and good service. Few hiccups but nothing to write about that u wouldn't get at any restaurant. Will be back on warmer day so we can sit outside.

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

    I have walked into plenty of shady establishments in my time on this earth. I have often wondered…read moreif I would walk out of some, but occasionally I've found a gem. Cochiara is one such gem. Growing up in South Louisiana I spent a lot of time in Grand Isle. Heading there we would always stop at a friend's gas station/fishing supply/bar on the way to the island. I always remember the old men sitting at the bar laughing and drinking while we tried to convince my parents to buy us candy. Throughout the years I have visited many a boat launch and marina in Louisiana fishing communities with similar businesses. These places have always reminded me of those family trips and they always bring me great joy. After a recent trip to Boutte's for dinner, I discovered another place that made my quite happy. Cochiara is the convenience store/bar next to a boat launch. There used to be hotel rooms here, but I think they no longer exist. Inside is much more of a bar than convenience store, but there are chips and soft drinks should you need supplies for a fishing trip. The crowd was primarily local, but very friendly. I think I was tested by some locals when they noticed me singing David Alan Coe, but I must have passed with flying colors as they welcomed us with open arms. This may have been because I am a very likable guy with an incredible knowledge of country music. If you're not me, or not with me, you may have issues, but I will be glad to offer pointers for a small fee. The jukebox was stocked with old country classics, but also had some surprises including Madonna. The beer selection was somewhat lacking unless you are a fan of Bud products. When asked what beer they had besides Bud Light, the bartender advised of us of no less than seven different Bud products. If I buy a camp in Lafitte I will become a regular here. Even if I don't, I will make sure and stop on every trip I make. Note: I am thinking bars like this would make a great UYE. I wonder if we can figure out a way to do all waterfront bars one night.

    This is a cool little bar in Lafitte. Good jukebox with old country on it. Really nice people and…read morecheap drinks. What more could you ask for? It's a really big place with a pool table, a dance floor and a bunch of snacks that you can buy if you want something to munch on. In this town everyone knows everyone. A young guy came up to my friend and me and asked where we were from. If you aren't from the area, go in and be nice and the locals will treat you like one of their own.
