I had the absolute pleasure of exploring the local street food scene in Ruston today, and I…read morestumbled upon a venue that is quite simply one of the best in the area. It possesses such an authentic, genuine street food charm. From the outside, the facade evokes a beautifully nostalgic, turn-of-the-century 1900s aesthetic that immediately caught my eye. Upon stepping inside, I was greeted by an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is wonderfully unique the ceiling is completely adorned with banknotes, which makes one wonder if it's a clever nod to local tradition! It adds such a marvelous sense of character to the space. The service was prompt and thoroughly lovely. To drink, I sampled the Ponchatoulas Peach Tea, which was nothing short of spectacular perfectly sweet and refreshing. For my meal, I spoke with the waiter and settled on the crawfish stuffing. It was prepared beautifully and tasted absolutely divine. I am completely charmed by this establishment. A perfect, five-star experience through and through I will most certainly be returning

The service was great and fast which we appreciated. They came by often enough to be pleasant and…read morenot overbearing. During one of the early visits we had to tell the waitress that the seafood gumbo needed to be heated up because it was at room temperature. I'm hopeful that they read these comments because another Yelper called it tepid temperature which I agree. This shouldn't happen at all! The flavor of the gumbo was fine but wished it was slightly thicker with more ingredients. The seafood fried sampler was fantastic! Perfectly fried and clean oil. The shrimp was plump and delicious. Overall a good restaurant that needs some attention to food temperature. I wanted to watch a NFL game on Fox and the poor waitress tried to change the channel but wasn't able to. They have TV's all over the restaurant but only ESPN?! It's a pseudo sports bar with no other sports channels.

If you know good crawfish, you'll appreciate what they're doing here…read more If you're in the mood for boiled crawfish, this is the place. I've been eating crawfish for as far back as I can remember, and these folks clearly know what they're doing. The menu is limited, but honestly that's part of the charm because what they do, they do right. Finding the place is part of the adventure. The road in is dark and a little strange the first time you drive it, and you might even wonder if your GPS has lost its mind... but keep going. It's absolutely worth the find. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the owner, Ben Christmas, was especially sweet. It's one of those rustic, no-frills spots where the crawfish are the star and the people are just as good as the food

This spot wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't for me. The young man working the bar was…read morereally kind, which I appreciated, but overall the vibe felt very "deep South"and not in a way that felt welcoming to someone who looks like me. I was just passing through, heading to my hotel while traveling for work, and stopped in because it's super convenient right off the feeder road near downtown. The food was okay, nothing special. I got the sense that it's probably popular with locals, but personally, I didn't feel super comfortable and probably wouldn't go back or recommend it. Just kind of a forgettable experience overall.

I chose the wedge salad as an app, grilled chicken breast (i know they are known for steak but I wasn't too hungry) and for my side I went with scalloped potatoes All portions were large without sacrificing the quality. The chicken was juicy and had been cooked in their house signature rub and by the time we finished the empty restaurant was full. Final note , service was excellent

I had the lasagna and my coworker had the lobster ravioli. Both of these items were really good. The salad was really good. Unfortunately, the minestrone soup was not the best.

The young lady that helped us was very nice and answered all of our questions and the actual style and layout of the restaurant is very rustic, very quaint, very modern, but friendly and family oriented. I'll be back.

We were so happy we gave it a chance. My husband ordered the Street Tacos with steak and chorizo and I ordered the sour cream enchiladas. Both were delicious. The guacamole and salsa were both really good and fresh too. Log Cabin has been a disappointment our last two visits so we're happy to have a new go to spot in Ruston. The place seemed to be super clean and the service was excellent. The staff was also very friendly. Our food came out super hot, just like I like it. We highly recommend the place and would actually suggest that you give it a try if you love Mexican food like we do. My only suggestion would be that if you have food allergies make extra sure they understand your order.
