    We accidently found this place...well worth the stop. They advertise the best burgers in town, but I think they make the best burgers in North Louisiana. The place is quaint and the staff is great. They serve coffees, teas, specialty drinks...just about everything you could ask for.

    Enjoyed my coffee here. Downtown area needed this place. My Frappe was delicious and my cup of gumbo was full of meat. Atmosphere is cute and cozy with separate rooms to pick from so you can study or visit with friends. Looking forward to returning to try different things.

    If you call to ask for the hours, the machine will redirect you to a number that doesn't work. Other than that, I had a completely positive experience with the staff and the king cake latte with extra espresso they brewed for me.

    I love how quaint this place is, and how prompt the service is. The staff is super friendly and they make the best caramel Cappuccino's.

    This is a gas station, and convenience store with a kitchen that serves both fast and "slow" food…read more(served fast) like gumbo, red beans and rice, and other Southern delectables. There is both dine in and take out. The atmosphere is very casual. R&B music plays on the speakers. Everything looks clean. The employees are friendly. Service is excellent. I enjoyed the food and had a bom temp!

    I'm so grateful that Yelp led us here!…read more Fleur Deli is located inside of BonTemps gas station right off of Hwy20 and is definitely NOT your average gas station food! They have a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, wrap & po'boys to choose from along with sides. They also have a counter with some house made ready to go food. I even saw a big pot of gumbo. I got a TURKEY BLT with no cheese. It comes on a fresh jalapeño cheddar bread that was not spicy - just very good. The turkey was shaved turkey with a healthy topping of bacon & lettuce. The BLT spread seems like a mayo spread with chopped bacon, tomato, & herbs. It was really light and good. My husband loved his SHRIMP PO BOY. He said the breading on the shrimp was delicious & bread was good. Our only regret was not getting fries or onion rings to try. There are several tables to eat inside and a couple right out front. There appeared to be several locals coming in to pick up food while I was waiting about 10-15 minutes for our food. I would highly recommend stopping here to eat vs your average gas station or fast food.

I was able to customize my order and didn't feel rushed even though I was there only thirty minutes prior to their closing time. Not wanting to keep them after, however, I packed up a bit too fast and accidentally left a charger plugged into their wall as I was leaving. I didn't realize it until I was almost to Shreveport and I was ultimately on my way back home - all the way in Dallas, TX. I was upset with myself for leaving it, but basically had to write it off as a probable loss. Well, the next day, the owner's husband called me, offering to send my charger through the mail! I felt silly for not thinking of this, but even more, I was so pleasantly surprised by these people's willingness to go way above and beyond for a one-time customer just passing through. He even offered to pay my shipping and let me pay the amount when he knew what that would be. How wonderfully refreshing these rare interactions are in which people go out of their way to do something nice and even go out on a limb of trust for a stranger. Whenever I'm passing through again, you can bet I'll be making a stop at Geaux Fresh along the way! Thank you guys so much! - D. H. (from Texas)

I had the mozzarella sticks (amazing) and a chicken cutlet parmigiana wedge (sub for this area) and that too was well above my expectations... I finished my meal off with a layered chocolate cake that was to die for . Again stop by and give it a go yourself , the star not given was I felt forgotten and waited longer than normal for my food and when I took it to go , it was thrown in a bag sideways and upside down. But again was definitely a good meal

    Our Father's Day dinner was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had. We came with a party…read moreof seven and received terrible service from start to finish. The staff was inattentive, orders took an unreasonable amount of time, and we felt completely overlooked throughout the evening. The most concerning issue was the food quality. Two people in our group ordered the red snapper, and both plates had a strong foul odor. The fish smelled spoiled and was clearly not fresh. Serving seafood in that condition is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about food quality and safety. Father's Day is a busy holiday, but that is no excuse for poor service and questionable food. We spent good money expecting a special family meal and left extremely disappointed. Based on this experience, we would not return and cannot recommend this restaurant
