    Plain Stuffed + bacon
    Halezyeah ..

    Great place! I like getting the plain and then add bacon. The potatos are so big, you can easily split between two people. My husband likes the crawfish étouffée one. Great, fast service!

    Mexican Baked Potato
    Jonquil J.

    The potato place this was my favorite place to get my baked potatoes at one time, I came home to visit my daughter and wanted potato so I chose the potato place I ordered the Mexican baked potato it was way to much ground meat for my liking and I really didn't care for the taste of it. I was going to order the plain stuff potato and I really wish I would have stuck to that one because I couldn't taste the potato because it was covered with so much ground beef. I also ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade always was a favorite and still is it was very good, I also ordered the apple pie egg rolls for the first time it was so good I didn't get to take a pic I would definitely recommend the egg rolls. I wouldn't write them off I would just stick to my usual baked potato from now on when ordering from the potato place.

    Such an underrated place with such amazing food!! We had shrimp etouffe, shrimp po boy and loaded potatoes! Best Cajun food I've ever had and the cherry on top was that the manager was extremely hospitable and kind! She was so helpful and patient with us as we decided what to eat and extremely personable bringing out and explaining the food! We enjoyed every dish and were stuffed after! It wasn't greasy like normal Cajun food(not saying it was healthy lol) but high quality food! Definitely recommend coming here!

    Shrimp and Cheese Potato
    Kimberly T.

    Second time arriving at this place, I like the staff here I tried the shrimp and cheese loaded potato with sour cream and bacon bits. For the price of 14.99 it wasn't bad but I wasn't crazy about the cheese on it. I think that I would try the shredded cheese next time on the potato. I will return soon!

    Fully Loaded Boudin Potato with extra tomatoes

    The Fully Loaded Boudin Potato was divine. Get it with extra tomatoes. It is really large. You could eat it for two meals.

    The new look of the front counter with their new fancy menu screens!

    I've been coming to potato place for oh gosh 10 years or longer now and must say that it is as fabulous as ever. You know, I've known most of the crew for years and the things that have never changed are how friendly they are, and how wonderful the potatoes taste. I usually get the plain stuffed and the broccoli cheese potato--which by the way is amazing. Other faves are the Mexican potato and cheeseburger. Even though the times have changed and the place has expanded, the food has remained as awesome as ever.

    Friendly staff!

We we're greeted by the beautiful hostess right away and this place was gaining customers by the second so I was happy there was no wait. Our amazing server came right away, and we ordered drinks. The drink menu didn't have much of a variety but the food menu made it for it. I had wine and my wife had a baybreeze (I believe that's the name). We order the Oysters Supreme and it was so dang good. My wife loves oysters and I am a newbie when it comes to eating them ( this was my second time in my life) and I was blown away! It was sooooo good. Then we shared an entree, called the Shuckin' Flounder. Talk about delicious!!! My favorite was the bread pudding. We took it to go and I loved that there was a note with bread pudding to give you instructions on heating annnnnddd to brag on how good it is. It did not disappoint!!! It was just as amazing at home as it was if it would have eaten it at the restaurant. I was skeptical because of this place because of the choice in seating (once again we come from restaurants and service) and there was a fan behind me but I must say, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The menu is a bit pricey but it's oysters and seafood! We will absolutely be back! Thank you all for such a great evening!

We had chicken and sausage gumbo, Pepper Jack boudin balls, bam bam gator bites and the blackened chicken pasta. The waiter this time was better than the waitress we had last time. He was very attentive and made sure we never had to ask for refills. The appetizers came out fairly normal time-wise I would say. The main portion took a little bit longer than what you're used to at a franchise restaurant but here that's perfectly fine as it's worth the couple extra minutes. The gumbo is perfect(I love when gumbo is not over complicated) I like to add a lil hot sauce to it and it's delicious... only thing is, while they already give generous portions... the cup and the bowl looked exactly the same except I think in the bowl they give you one extra scoop of rice... which would be just fine if it wasn't like $6 more. But still delicious nonetheless. The bam bam gator bites were really good and I highly recommend them. If you like bam bam shrimp you'll love these. The pepper jack boudin balls were good, nothing special but they were definitely worth the try. My co-worker had the blackened chicken pasta and when I asked him how it was he said "dude, it's really good!" lol. The building is pretty unique and they have some outside seating with a massive beautiful tree that over looks the restaurant and takes claim to some of the asphalt in the parking lot lol. But it's a great spot for birthdays, good lunch menu deals, casual date night or if you wanna blow some steam off, they have a little bar in the restaurant as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I'm from East Texas, so I'm no Cajun/Louisianan but they truly got some good grub here. I'll definitely be coming back several more times when I get the chances. I will warn you, I believe the food is freshly made so when it gets to the table, give it some time to cool off because it comes out HOT.
