You'll find a few dining tables on the small outside deck and limited seating inside. It has the feel of a double wide trailer turned into a restaurant. What we enjoyed: *Fried shrimp and oysters were good *Gumbo was delicious *Crab cake was good but I thought the accompanying cheese sauce wasn't needed. Some reviewers love it and so does our fishing guide. The white cheese sauce seems more more like a Queso cheese dip at your local Mexican restaurant. What we didn't care for: *Toasted sandwich bread served with the shrimp/oysters *The side of fries *The foul mouthed employees. I agree with reviewer Holly B on this one.

So I ordered the Catfish po'boy and was not disappointed. The catfish was flaky and lightly breaded, and the bread (which really is the backbone of the po'boy!) was perfect: crunchy but soft the way it should be. The prices are reasonable, and they've got both dine-in and carry-out service. The staff was awesome; made me feel like I've been a regular here for years. Kind of off the beaten path, but any time coming or going from Grand Isle, this is a must-stop.

As Ashley B stated "small town family feel"…read more This perfectly sums up Dad's Bar & Grill - a local seafood shack. We were heading to the Southern most point on the Gulf and stopped herefor lunch. It's a small space but what it lacks in space it makes up for in personality. I could tell that this was a well loved spot as we got some tourist "looks' when we entered (I guess they could tell we were not regulars :)). That was even before our "east coast accents" gave us away. The menu is not vast but if you are coming here - the thing to order is seafood. I mean it's a no brainer! The food is not fancy but good and exactly what I needed. As you can tell the shrimp were HUGE and the onion ring were homemade - what more can a girl ask for! They do have specials but I only had eyes for the shrimp patter. There not many restaurants in the area so if you are hungry and have a hankering for seafood - check this place out.

So I've lived here in the Kiln for about 5 years. Never ate here. Recently started working next…read moredoor. Anyways... first 3-4 days of work I went in occasionally for a drink/food etc... My fiancé did as well. Every time either of us went there we were met with glares, rude remarks and sub-par customer service. For example, one day he came by to buy me breakfast and bring it over to me... He asked a question, was met with a dry and crass remark. He said " I'm sorry I've never been here before." And the response he was given was "clearly..." Well to top it off I asked about a job, or hours they may have available due to needing work currently. Bills are over whelming and I'm usually open to most opportunities to make some extra money to support my family. First, I asked. I did ask about a job. For days no one called, and wasn't really any direct answer. Next, I received a call from the owner at night stating I could come in, make 8/hr and try it out and see what I thought... I'm assuming someone quit and they were in a bind. I did agree and said, " yeah I could come in and see what I think...thanks!" Next morning, for several reasons, I did not go. -pay -mom sick -others telling me I don't want to work for them. Anyways, because of this I didn't go in. I tried to call the owner to give him a heads up, due to money issues my phone was off. I had to hustle up some money and pay my phone card. Anyways fast forward to 2/3pm... I was met with 3 girls giggling, degrading and talking shit about the shop I was in. Glares, ignoring me when I asked if I could help them... and just all around rude and bitter comments. Ok, no big deal. Next some bigger woman, with a nasty attitude to match her appearance... walked in behind them to loud cap me about not showing for the shift, how I left them in a bind, and to ensure the guy I currently work for heard, was loud about the whole scenario telling me how horrible I was. And just all are round rude, petty, and distasteful. Ok again, I apologized tried to explain myself and offer some sense of remorse for my action and not justify my actions but ensure she knew I understand that they were left in a bind which was NOT my intentions... She didn't care. She was crappy. Rude. And just all around just as unpleasant as the food she serves. Well... that is not where is stopped with the immaturity and unprofessional actions. Next the OWNER walked in behind her to show me his phone. To let me... and my current boss know... that I didn't try to call and again loudly state I had tried to work for them, messed up their day and how awful I was... Ok... I didn't want to get into it about my finances, my phone being off about how I did try to reach out, my apologies... etc etc.. Again not rude, I said I'm sorry. I hope they know that and he made a crass comment, side eyed me and just said it's fine have a great day. This is the MOST unprofessional, petty, rude, immature, and arrogant and pathetic people I have ever met as a whole. And I thought just the food was bad..... Oh to add, I cleaned their windows 2 days prior to be "nice" due to the owner mentioning none of his employees had yet to do it. Well... no worries it was a kind gesture from me, they should take notes..:.

T was our waitress and she did a fantastic job making sure our drinks were continually filled (they also had another young lady checking on our refills too. The restaurant was your typical diner with lots of tables and chairs.

With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.
