Pictures do not do this food justice! It is so incredibly flavorful and clearly made to order…read more After I placed my order, I learned that it was cash only because their machine was down that day so definitely keep that in mind just in case. I was also told that it'd be 20 to 25 minutes, but it ended up being much closer to 40. Ordinarily that would bother me, but luckily on that day I had nothing else to do and everything was piping hot so I really couldn't complain. I do wish there was an easier way to find the menu online, I had to ask what all they had over the phone. For two plates my order came out to $38, and each plate comes with three sides and corn bread. I'd eat here again.

We go to Elsie's frequently. All of my photos are from numerous visits…read more I typically get the Boudin or Bayou BQQ Burger however, I also like their Avocado Sandwich. My Wife typically gets their Natchitoches Meat Pies or Poulet Pot Pie. We also love their brussel sprouts and pies, the Eye of the Tiger being our favorite. They also have a good selection of drinks and beers. For some reason the smell of this place reminds me of an elementary or middle school cafeteria. The service is typically okay. The waiters/waitresses are typically quiet and very short verbally or super friendly, no in between imo. Elsie's also has very good sweet tea. The tea actually tastes like tea if that makes sense. As if they use better quality tea or brew it differently than most restaurants.

Been coming here all my life. Loved their food. Here now, and they clearly changed a few things…read more Thin fried catfish seemed to be 99% breading, 1% fish. Fries are thicker potato fries instead of their usual thin ones. Shrimp was still good as was the dirty rice. Just disappointed by the change in the fish mostly. Felt like it was mostly fried breading.

I always order oxtails plate. I gotta plate with two oxtails this last time which gives me mixed feelings when I opened the plate but the owner/cashier ensured me they were meaty. Whenever I sat down to eat it... it wasn't it was a thick bone. The plate is close to $30 I was expecting more. The beef patties are probably my favorite part of this dining experience.

I got the Diana with a side of hashbrowns. Every time I go (3x now), they've been a little busy but the wait times aren't bad. I haven't had to use the bathroom so I'm not sure if they've got one. There is dining in seating although I'm not sure how they delineate using dinnerware vs to go containers.

Even as expected we know they're not a fast food restaurant. But the wait times for food are pretty extensive. Also, the lemonade was bland no sugar or had to be watered down I called the order in at 9:25AM Didn't retrieve food till 9:58AM Overall, will I come back? Honestly, more than likely no Food was good but nothing to have a person running back for it especially with the wait times Staff could be more friendly with assisting customers

I wasn't a fan of the yams, too much cinnamon for me personally, however the other sides were great. The service was okay. They were very busy and only had one server on the floor. She was extremely overwhelmed which was not her fault. She was even making drinks behind the bar. They needed more staff. The ambiance was okay, there was no music playing. Just quiet. Overall I'd eat here again, just probably ordering Togo

TLDR: Decent BBQ and good service in a eclectic decor…read more Nothing to complain about. They have jerk chicken on the menu and, being a huge Caribbean foodie and skeptic, I asked to sample the sauce. It was NOT Caribbean jerk flavor at all. Instead, we opted for the chicken combo platter and the brisket tacos... Brisket. Tacos. Did I mention I am a skeptic? The brisket taco came with brisket and cheese on a soft tortilla. The brisket was decently seasoned and the portions were adequate. It was served with chips and salsa which, on top of being really salty, had competing flavor profiles for me so I didn't eat them. The bang for the buck goes to the chicken combo platter that had two leg quarters +2 sides. The chicken was large, well cooked, smoky and tender. Flavor was not as pronounced as I prefer but it was good. Overall, the experience was good.

Well it's been about a year and I always follow their Facebook page where they post the special everyday. The chicken and waffle meal today was 3.50. What a deal. So I decided to try it again. So much better and the chicken was also pretty big and tasty. Now the downside was the chicken was just a little salty (I'm not a big salt person). They also serve breakfast which is served all day. It's right next to the old Ronnie's in a small building but still enough space to house a couple of people for lunch. They are pretty fast for a lunch break unlike some of the other soul food restaurants near it.

I know most restaurants ask you to stay in the car. I pulled up to the restaurant I called the phone several times no answer I guess Tee was too lazy to actually do curbside. I ordered the special of the day which was fried pork chops. The flavor of the pork chop crust was good. However the corn a.m. tour a little overcooked and I was just not feeling the food at all.
