    Great spot for a burger or steak. The peppercorn steak is delicious. I've also had the boiled crawfish here and they were fantastic. Boiled shrimp are good too. This is the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon cocktail where you can sit on the porch and enjoy the view. They are also awesome for kids since they have a bounce house. Gumbo is good, not too spicy. Really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes today. Only word of advice: DO NOT ORDER GRILLED CHICKEN HERE. I've tried several chicken entrees on visits here and they are all terrible. Today I sent back my grilled chicken sandwich it was so tough and tasted like it may have gone bad. Also tried grilled chicken salad one day, chicken was awful. It must come out of a package, definitely not fresh. Stick with steak or seafood here and you can't go wrong.

    Small, casual with a nice view of Bayou Desaird. Large portions and friendly staff. The Duck Wraps, Etouffe, Crab Cake, and a chef made Mac & Cheese were excellent. The fried crawfish were alright. The fried oysters and fried "tiny" baby soft shell crabs were horrible. They were so over cooked, the meat had disappeared, nothing but batter and grease. The manager did nothing do try to make it up to us. I see the potential and will give them another try.

    But we were passing through Louisiana and wanted to eat somewhere that would give us a good feel of the bayou.

    Second time here and still delicious…read more We tried to go Friday and the parking was insane, that's probably my only complaint about the entire experience . We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

    as a visitor to Monroe, Louisiana, this restaurant was a highly recommended place. The restaurant…read moreitself was very large with a nice decorated bar. The music playing was very fun and the workers were extremely welcoming. However, given that it's near the river, it would be nice if they considered having outdoor tables, but it doesn't seem like there is much to see either way. We all got various cocktails, and I would highly recommend the lemonade if you really like something sweet. My table and I shared the duck wraps. they were filled with cream cheese jalapeño, and was wrapped in bacon. It was slightly sweet, which I didn't entirely prefer, but it was still very tasty and a unique dish that I would recommend everyone to try. I personally got A Burger and it was much larger than I thought it would be. It was very tasty, but it didn't have much sauce so it was slightly dry. The rest of my table got various seafood dishes, and they had very large portions. They all mentioned how well seasoned everything was. The one caveat of this restaurant was that everything took so long to get to our table. our waitress also didn't come check on us after delivering our food until it was time to pay, which was unfortunate.

    I can't believe that this restaurant only has three stars? This was not our experience at all!…read more There were five of us eating and our server Brook could not have been any better! Her timing was perfect. Her patience was even better. She did not seem at all bothered with all the options for ordering at this restaurant. She went above and beyond by offering us water to go at the end which was so sweet because we were traveling. I also was so surprised that they let us have samples of all the sides which helped us choose the ones we liked the best with our meal. With complimentary bags of peanuts, bread and butter I felt spoiled with all the food. And the prices were very reasonable! The $5 all day margaritas tasted great!! Will def try those out at the TR near where I live! I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye steak. It was delicious but was spotty in the cook. Most areas were medium as I had ordered but one side was medium well and one part medium rare. The other person ordered medium rare and hers was spotty as well and the rare ribeye ordered was consistency rare. The thing I did not like was that all three ribeyes ordered were different thicknesses. Had I known I would have asked for a thicker steak. When we were leaving Cedric the manager asked us how our meal was. We were happy to tell him how great Brook was and the great meal we had. He was super appreciative and friendly and just made the whole experience that much better. Without hesitation I will try the TR in my area and when I go back to visit family in W Monroe will want to go there again.

    My mom and I stopped in to have dinner before I left to travel back to TX. We both ordered steaks…read more My order came wrong not once, not twice, but three times. Never ever again. The customer service was cool but after three times someone should have done their due diligence before leaving the kitchen. I didn't end up ordering anything bc she was done by the time order three of wrong items and a burnt steak came out. Totally ruined my meal with my mom.
