We got there and ordered, they give you an option to give your number so they message you when it's ready but both times we have been here it's never worked so we stood outside the pick up area, the girl working the window asked us around 5 times what our names were (we were just standing there waiting) each time we answered and said "they are working on it." After around an hour of waiting they finally gave us our food and all of our food was cold. This place really let me down, we asked if we could even just microwave the wings to get it warm to eat and they refused. This place is pretty sorry. read more

I am so disappointed. We had a lot of family in from out of town and I recommended this place. We drove from West Monroe to eat here. Each family ordered individually and a few families waited about an hour for our food. Everyone else was done by the time we got the food and then it was cold. My daughter took her chicken wing basket and asked them reheat it and they turned her away. The rest of us ate it as it was because we were starving. I should have spoken to a manager but it felt useless after waiting so long. I won't recommend them again read more

They're great and a great place to sit down and eat and the view of the lake is wonderful

we wait a hour and 26 minutes for a food finally went to window to see when it was going to be ready, because they can text you when it's ready or they are supposed to while mine food was ready just sitting there getting cold. I know she didnt Good back and give me fresh crawfish. I know it don't matter but definitely will not be back. read more

Service great / view awesome We will be back! Kids can play, sunset/bar / watch the boats read more

Great! Food! Service with a smile Friday night and the place was packed, but they still managed to get my food in a timely manner. The grilled shrimp was really good. The Bushwhackers weren't the best, but I still loved them, and the bartenders did their best to keep up with the crowd. PS- This is Saturday, got invited to Rhett's again with another set of friends. 3:00ishPM, not crowded. Just right for an elderly couple I'm eating with. Food is just as good as last night- lovin' the vibe here. read more

I took a large party there as a business outing at the suggestion of someone local in my party. I had the grilled gulf shrimp and they were very good. Most of the party either had a steak or crawfish. Those with steaks ordered medium rare reported their steaks came back medium, but that's not a deal breaker. The crawfish were seasoned just right (not too salty). The ambience and vibe is very cool. What wasn't cool was the eating area, but someone eventually turned on the AC. The only thing I wouldn't reorder would be the boudin egg rolls: I love both egg rolls and boudin balls, but their culinary involvement with each other should be limited. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Recommended. read more

We ate here yesterday. The crawfish were outstanding, some of the best I have had in years. We ordered the spicy, not really spicy just more tasty. Fried catfish and shrimp were good not great. Boudin was ok. Fun family place right on the lake. Service was great read more

Service is extremely slow, getting a drink is almost impossible, and the wait for food is unacceptable Its been 40 minutes, at a place that prides itself on crawfish. Way too much salt content. read more

I had been going to buy crawfish from Rhett since he first starting selling them out of a food truck. Every year we go there once and every time they are small size. The shrimp are delicious however...... read more

Really cool place to enjoy Lake Darbonne. Paddle boards and kayaks can be rented here. The food is great, and the live bands such as Frank Foster are fun to listen too on a Friday or Saturday night. There are also karaoke nights on Thursdays. It is also an awesome place to relax and watch the 4th of July Fireworks over Darbonne as well. Rhett's also offers catering. read more

Awesome crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, corn, sausage... bring your own bottle or beer and they have sodas!!! read more

Always, always , always! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We always have a great time when we go.

Really cool atmosphere and decent prices. Shrimp was decent but salty. Outside of the crawfish was covered in a salty seasoning. I'm a firm believer in not having to season crawfish after it's been cooked. read more

This spot is a big hit with seafood lovers. My son loves the crawfish. I love the shrimp but wish there were a version with a bit less spice for those of us without a true Cajun taste for hot foods. The prices are as expected for seafood. The place was clean, observing social distancing, with gloves and masks for the staff. One can buy 3, 5, or more pounds of crawfish with corn and potatoes. While there are fine dine in options, I prefer to take my seafood home to enjoy on my part of the lake. Open 3-9 most days gives many dinner options. Rhett's is so close to the lake that you can stop on your way home from boating or when you are practicing catch and release or even if the fish just weren't biting. I have not mastered pictures yet, but will update when I do. read more

The boiled crawfish and shrimp are yummy. You will not be disappointed, I eat here every time I come into time.

Very friendly staff and nice owner have very delicious crawfish and live bands play some weekends and all around great atmosphere

Great food and atmosphere. Go early because it gets packed with customers. Very accommodating, went and set up tables and chairs for us to set. Will be going again read more

Great food, friendly service and family fun entertainment. During crawfish season they have the best crawfish in the area. My wife loves their crawfish. I really love their shrimp. Very good spices. They have something going on all of the time. It's right on the lake and they have boat rentals. read more

The spot is awesome. I had boiled shrimp it was spicy and awesome! Now for the negative the bathrooms were Filthy. Worse then a roadside nasty gas station. Don't go in there after you eat you will throw up! I'm sure other people besides restaurant patrons use it. Bottom line clean the bathrooms several times a day. Base of toilet looks like it has never been cleaned! read more

So, I had been to this place years ago when it first opened and wasn't pleased at all with the food after a friend told me how much she liked it. I moved away so I never got the chance to try it again to see if it was just kinks of a new business. I just moved back to the lake and my friend who is new here wanted to try it so we went in. The place is super nice and waaaaaay bigger than it was when it opened. There's a super nice stage and sports bar kind of atmosphere but also great for families because they have a playground for the kids. The food is where I have an issue. We got a few different things to try. I got the hot wings and they were great, but they didn't give me any dipping sauce with my wings so I had to stop while I was eating and go back to the main building where the food is to get it. The butter for the crab was tasty but cold and congealed. The shrimp were good, the potatoes were good, but the corn was over cooked and chewy. The crab legs tasted like nothing with seasoning on the outside of them. Now the crawfish....I don't know what was going on with them, because they were really soft like they were from the day before and that's exactly how they were the very first time I tried Rhett's. I like to try to stay close to home and spend money close to home, but this place is a no for me. Probably won't be back unless it's only for shrimp or wings. read more

Great food. Probably the best shrimp I've ever had...and that's saying a lot. I'll be going back again!

I would like to know what is up with these crawfish restaurants not having fountain drinks and then charging 2.00 for a can come. Plus you go to a regular restaurant and you have bottles of butter sitting on the table. They charge you for small dipping cups of butter about the size you get at McDonald's when getting chicken nuggets. They may have good crawfish but I would rather ay a little more and have the full restaurant experience. read more
