    Side salad
    Mandy C.

    We usually just eat at the nugget when visiting lake Charles, but my mom found this cute place on Yelp!!! Huge parking lot, fun picture opps outside, open concept, vibrant restaurant!! Huge windows so tons of light! We were seated in the back immediately with a view of the bayou!! Great for pics!!! Our waiter was very attentive and quick!! Decided on the candied oysters and splitting the fried seafood platter!! Comes with tons of food!!! Side fresh salad came out first! Next came the oysters!!!! Be careful!! Very hot!!!! Temperature wise!!!!! Love the sassy sauce!! Very different. Sweet with a kick at the end!!!!! Love the feta with blue cheese!! This dish is hot, I was expecting g raw. Just take note when ordering. The platter is so much food!!!!! We split between 3 of us and had plenty!!! Stop on in if you're in the area!!

    Old Fashioned and Shiner Bock (Old Fashioned is a bit on the "measured" side).

    Perfect location near the hub of hotels makes for an easy walk. The charbroiled oysters, BYO (Build Your Own) options were amazing, with the Roughneck having desired spice. Speaking of spice... the bartender Amy has good energy and handles the regular crowd w a smile. Keenan added to the good bar energy. My initial cocktail choice of an Old Fashioned was a bit too measured (lacking in volume) so I wouldn't do that again. Switched to good ol' beer.

    We absolutely loved this place! We had a huge group who came into town and all met here to eat once arriving. Our server was absolutely fantastic, the manager was great and the food was even better. They did not have crawfish poboys on the menu but they let me customize it and it was soooo delish. If you're looking for some great seafood, cold cheap beer and good times this is your place!

    Seafood platter

    Saw the good reviews so excited to try. Casual, fun atmosphere. Starting with the Frozen Cosmo Martini cocktail which is amazing! The weather is a little chilly or we could have sat outside. There are heaters so it would have been fine. Our server is happy and efficient and has great suggestions. We said the boys would have liked this bc the games are on. The candied oysters with feta and blue cheese were so unique. Of course we had to try the seafood platter and very glad we did! Fabulously fried, the flavors were perfect! Plus the side salad with blue cheese was a great beginning. Wow! Great choice!

    1/2 Fried shrimp with onion rings and a side of sassy sauce!

    The food was just as good as Shucks in Abbeville,La.. with the exception of lots of oyster shells.. they maybe just learning how to shuck but.. just be careful.. you can break a tooth.. Even the oyster soup had a big shell.. It's not going to stop me from going.. The taste was amazing!! We are just aware that they're maybe shells.. The service was amazing!! Thank y'all for coming to Lake Charles ..

    Mom and her dozen raw oysters!

    Who is the guy in the big pitcher sitting on oyster shells when you walk in the main entrance?

    I do not have the answer for your question. I live in Texas and that was the first time I have eaten there.

The restaurant was decorated as you would expect a good Cajun restaurant to be decorated in. Service was nice and friendly and you order at the register and they bring your food to you. Service was great even after we got our food. A server asked us if we needed refills and if we wanted them in to-go cups, which scored bonus points with me! Here's what I had on this lunch visit: The crawfish pistollette (8/10) which was a small appetizer that was bread with some crawfish etouffee on top. Bread was nicely cooked and the etouffee on top was delicious. Solid starter! The Cajun Cooking Sampler (9/10) - this was a sampler with 3 amazing dishes. I got the shrimp and crab gumbo, which is classic Louisiana gumbo and it was outstanding! The sampler also had a bowl of crawfish etouffee which was good but felt it needed a bit more etoufee to mix with the rice. Lastly, the special of the day was fish courtbouillon which was a fish in tomato based sauce over rice. I really enjoyed this as the fish has a great texture and there was a lot of flavor in the sauce. Overall, solid lunch meal in the $ to $$ range depending on what you order. Recommend you trying it for a great Cajun experience!

    I stopped in here with a group for an early supper on a Saturday. It was busy, but there were still…read moreplenty of tables so we sat right away. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered the Boudin Eggroll Appetizer. It included some Ranch dressing for dipping and the 4 Eggrolls it came with were the largest Boudin Eggrolls I've ever been served. They were also the best tasting. They had just enough cheese to keep them from being too dried out and were tasty. I would order this again if I was in the mood. Now I want to go back to try more things on the menu, but our server never came back to check on us after our order was delivered. I had to work really hard to flag her down to request a to-go box and a long time later to flag her down again to get our ticket and remind her about the to-go box. My advice is to try to get your ticket early if you can.

There's gulf fresh shrimp within 5 minutes of the location. I ate the crawfish Étouffée, It had somewhat of a fishy flavor. You could tell the crawfish were bagged and not fresh. My fries were warm only. I asked where the fish came from, most places advertise catfish now and give you Swai. I wasn't willing to take the chance. Our waitress said it could be a while before she could answer that question. The shrimp order were soft, not firm. You could tell they were cooked in the crawfish boil, and were gritty. We ordered a burger that was mediocre at best. Crawfish order was fine. There are plenty of places around serving fresh local seafood to be eating food sent from Argentina. Save your money and eat somewhere else.

Our…read moreserver, Haley, was friendly, attentive, and provided fantastic recommendations that made our meal even better. There were three of us, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed until closing! We started with the Crab Beignets and the Bone Marrow Tartare. I had never tried bone marrow tartare before, but it was absolutely incredible. The combination of prime tenderloin tartare, bone marrow, garlic aioli, and chimichurri purée was unique and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we had the Lobster Pasta, Mushroom Pasta with Chicken, and the Power Bowl with Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. The Power Bowl was especially flavorful, and I absolutely loved the sauce. The lobster pasta was rich and delicious, and the mushroom pasta was perfectly prepared. To finish, we shared the Brownie in a Cup, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Calla is definitely a place we'll be returning to. Highly recommended!

Christiano was a fantastic server and took great care of us. The menu is innovative and the flavors are on point. The steak frites and fried oysters are great, the sea bass and beef shank specials were literally to die for. And I would be remiss, if I didn't give a major shout out to the greatness that resides in both the beef and chopped salads. They're incredible. The cocktails are crafty and well made to boot. The brownie in a cup dessert was my personal favorite, but the nutty cheesecake is surprisingly light and delicious also. All in all, Calla's got it all going on and you can't miss it. Cheers!
