My girlfriend and I were in town for a softball tournament, looking for a great steak to devour…read morebefore we hit the hay for the night. As per looking at the fantastic reviews, we decided to eat at mayeauxs. Walking inside was like time traveling back into the 70s antique cowboy era. We were promptly sat at a quaint little table and greeted by our waitress. For dinner we both chose the 8oz fillet. I had asparagus as a side and she had Mac & cheese. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The sides were to the upmost excellence. We got out of there paying way less than I thought we would for such an amazing experience. Only $270!! What a steal! We will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant, let's hope next time it will be to celebrate a win. (We lost the tournament)

The food was good but the experience wasn't for our family. We walked in and a girl who was…read moretraining was staring at us, and didn't smile. We were seated by a hostess and then learned the girl who was staring was being trained on our table. No changing table in the restroom and no kids menu, so cannot recommend for people with children. Overall, the lack of hospitality and dismissive staff is going to keep us from going back.

I wanted a soul food lunch and came here. I was not disappointed. The dining room is spacious so…read moregreat for large groups and work lunches. I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

We stopped in for lunch while passing through Eunice, Louisiana, I love this small town where it…read moreseems time has almost stopped in a lot of ways, it definitely has that small town vibe that still embraces the cajun culture. We didn't have any particular place in mind for lunch knowing that there are a few great options but wanted to try a place where the locals eat so here we are at Ruby's. This town has a lot of history and Ruby's Cafe has been a big part of that history. Parking is pretty easy in this part of the historic downtown district so it was only a matter of crossing the street to get to the entrance, this small cafe was pretty busy but we were able to seat ourselves without a wait although arriving here a little after noon some of the daily plate lunch specials were already sold out- but we managed after our friendly server let us know what was still available. We ordered the pork tasso and sausage with rice and gravy with candied yams and sweet slaw and chicken fried steak with a spicy brown gravy on the side with corn and again an order of candied yams. The food here was amazing, a little like eating at momma's place, this is legit cajun fare and if you haven't had a chance to sample this unique cuisine this would be a great place to start in my opinion. The sweet tea is freshly brewed and the service is outstanding and definitely a place I'll return to when in the area or within a reasonable driving distance - this place is definitely one to bookmark...

This spot looks newly open in a nearly empty plaza behind the hotel nearby. Very walkable spot from…read morethe surrounding hotels, and the parking lot is spacious. The interior is also big and very tidy! There was a small welcoming staff there to greet us. The grilled oysters were topped with chopped peppers and bacon bits - came out hot and the oysters were plump and big! Very very tasty! It was about 30$ for a dozen oysters - so quite affordable for the size of oysters. Great bite and starter. I ordered the Atchafalaya, which had fried catfish and crawfish etouffee gravy smothered on top. The rice was a bit underdone which made the over taste of the dish not as cohesive. The crawfish pieces were abundant, but slightly mushy. The sweet potato fried side dish that came with the dish was perfect though - soft interior and slightly crisp exterior. The portion size was huge and I wasn't able to finish the dish. I'd definitely recommend trying the oysters on the menu, and next time, I'll need to try the fresh oysters!

We recently visited Shucks in Lake Charles and overall had a good experience. The food was…read moreexcellent, and the atmosphere was enjoyable and welcoming. The quality of the meal definitely met our expectations. However, the service on the bar side left some room for improvement. We were told that the bar was running behind, but that explanation did not sit well considering the length of the wait for drinks. It seems that having a dedicated runner to help deliver drinks from the bar could greatly improve service and keep things moving more efficiently. Additionally, our appetizer was forgotten and wasn't offered until halfway through our meal, at which point it no longer made much sense to bring it out. Overall, the food and atmosphere were excellent, but improving drink service and communication in the kitchen and bar areas would make the experience even better.

So I've been here before but I didn't get to enjoy it, so after a few years I found myself with…read moresome free time to drive back out here and truly have company I could enjoy with. I'll start with the cons bc it's not that much- the line for seafood can get long bc of how the buffet is set up. If the ppl in front move along you can get through fast. If not you'll have a wait. Due to the location of the door and the hot food side a couple of flies might be trying to find their way in the door to get to a couple of the goods. Pros- seafood was plentiful and good. Crawfish could have used a little more spice but not bad at all. Snow crab were great. They also have Jonah crab but I don't eat those. Full seafood buffet on Saturday and if you don't want to wait too long, get there an hour before and join the waitlist on their website. Worth a drive down. Price wise for 2 with drinks cost 100 bucks so be prepared if bringing a large party. Can order off the menu as well.

After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo
