There was plenty of natural light in the dining area and the food was great, so they deserve all the stars. I would give 10 if I could.

The restrooms are not air conditioned and it was just what you would expect from a seafood "buffet" in Bush would be like. A church retreat center in Loranger does a better job serving saltines. What really gets me the most is that it is a copycat of a casino buffet, without the casino revenue. And the location setting with a "disproportionate amount of frogs " makes you wonder where they are sourced from. So please Mr. Fugazi, name another buffet within a 3 hour radius where everything is "frog wafers" and "frog deviled eggs"? The gulf shrimp are 16/20's and you must be posting photos from the Westwego seafood market. Just look at the CUSTOMER posted photos. Food is unknown looking, service is "serve yourself", and the ambiance is 70's with a scent of mildew. It really needs to be emptied and sprayed down with bleach. You have to wait for food to be replenished, and when it shows up you take one. If there was lodging I would highly recommend it to anybody on the FBI most wanted list. It is gauche at best...

The fish is incredibly fresh and flaky every single time. What really sets Mike's apart from other seafood joints, though, is the salad bar. It is hands-down the freshest and most extensive one in the area. They have everything from crisp greens to delicious homemade pasta salads, broccoli salad, and real bacon bits. It's the perfect way to lighten up a heavy fried meal. The portions are massive, the staff treats you like an old friend, and the sweet tea is always cold. Whether you're a local or just passing through on I-55, do yourself a favor and stop in!

I had really been looking forward to trying Parrain's Seafood, but unfortunately my experience was…read moredisappointing. Our waitress, Kate M., didn't have the best customer service. She came across as short, unfriendly, and overall not very pleasant. I first ordered a Banana Foster's Martini, but she came back and said they didn't have the ingredients. No problem--I asked for an Espresso Martini instead. A few minutes later, after bringing everyone else's drinks, she returned and simply said they couldn't make that either and asked if I wanted something else. At that point, I just declined. When it was time to order, our table had nine people. She took my husband's order, then went around the table taking everyone else's order. By the time she got back to me, she said, "Okay, is that it?" I had to remind her that she hadn't taken my order yet. I ordered the crab and corn bisque, a salad, and the stuffed catfish with creamed spinach. The salad came out quickly and was very good. Then everyone else at the table received their meals while I only received my bisque. After waiting, I was told my stuffed catfish "didn't come out right" and had to be remade. At that point, I honestly wondered if it was a joke. It wasn't. By the time my entrée arrived, everyone else was nearly finished eating. To the restaurant's credit, they did remove the stuffed catfish from my bill, and I appreciated that. However, the entire experience left me feeling overlooked from start to finish. My biggest suggestion would be for our waitress to work on her customer service. A smile goes a long way. Saying things like "Give me that plate," slamming cups onto the table, and appearing annoyed throughout the meal doesn't create a welcoming dining experience. Hospitality is just as important as the food, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively.

Highly recommend asking for her! The menu made choosing difficult because everything sounded delicious. There were plenty of seafood options, plus several great choices for our daughter who doesn't eat seafood. She ordered the grilled chicken entrée and fried mozzarella sticks and gave both a big thumbs up. My husband had the BBQ shrimp with an ah-maze-ing sauce that absolutely stole the show. We dipped everything in it--the cheddar biscuits, my hushpuppies, and even my fried catfish and soft shell crab. It was so good that I brought the extra sauce home with my leftovers and couldn't wait to eat them later that night... and I'm usually not a leftovers person! Long story short: definitely go, order the seafood, and ask for Emily!
