The eggplant was watery but the pasta was still 7/10. My sister in law got the 40 dollar steak, not only did it come out raw once but twice. The water tasted disgusting??? The fried shrimp were okay but I've had way better shrimp else where. Nothing was really seasoned other than the steak that came out rare twice and my eggplant. The étouffée was the worst I've ever had. The only reason i gave it two stars was because the staff was incredible. It was really only the food that would never make me return to this location.

Here's what we ordered and thought he about it: Appetizer - French toast - toddler loved it but not size not worth the price - Meat pies- 4 tiny meat pies, flavor ok but not worth the price -duck quesadilla - I knew it was questionable with paired with jack cheese but I wanted to give it a try. It was a soggy greasy mess. But th sauce was good. Entrees - Chicken and waffles - decent flavor nothing fancy just decent - Kids Seafood crepe - the sauce was great, try crepes were a bit different but good the only thing missing was THE SEAFOOD. Yep, probably had two shrimp the whole crepe and they were cut in half. - Kida chicken tenders - waaaay too hard for kids to eat. The chicken tasted like charred burnt chicken. Like the third maybe 2nd batch of chicken in hot grease that cooks too fast on the outside so it is much darker, harder, and burned than the first batch. I asked for something else because after trying a piece of thr crust, I knew the kids couldn't eat that. The chef refused to take it back or replace INSTEAD he gave extra...like seriously if I feel they couldn't eat the first WHY I WOULD I WANT MORE. Overall, likely not to return. I saw two other tables call server over with issue. One of the deconstructed seafood pivot. Expensive and a waste of money. It was 3 towers of French bread with shrimp in a cream sauce. I saw the waitress tell the guy that it was filled with shrimp in the middle. Well, he opened his up and it was nothing but dry bread. He was visibly pissed. I'm glad I didn't order the full entree seafood crepes but I would have been upset with the amount of seafood which was shrimp only in it.

I am not an expert when it comes to Laplace or St. John Parish. But I did work out here a bunch and…read moreeveryone knows that when you work somewhere, you better find places to eat. Jambalaya Shoppe came highly recommended by a work buddy so I met him there one day. After that, it became my go-to lunch spot. Like its name indicates, this place sells a bunch of jambalaya. I rarely eat jambalaya that isn't made by me so I was skeptical. But they also sell gumbo which every red blooded Louisianaian loves so that is what I ordered. The gumbo here is legitimately good. It is filled with large pieces of chicken. When I say large, I mean multiple whole thighs. Get it with a fork and knife. Seriously. This is not your normal restaurant gumbo. It is thick, rich, and has a well developed roux. In addition to the massive amounts of chicken, it also includes a massive amount of sausage. Luckily for me, it came pre sliced and only the chicken needed to be cut up before eating. The best thing about the gumbo is that it is super reasonable. Don't quote me on prices because my brain doesn't work so good, but I think it was like $9 with tax for gumbo and a water. This is a massive meal for $9! If you want good gumbo, and are in LaPlace, get yourself to Jambalaya Shoppe.

What a gem we stumbled on here! We had the sample platter for a starter, shrimp, fried tomatoes and lemon pepper wings. Simply amazing! 2 of us had the corn crab chowder which we agreed is one of the best soups we've ever had! For meals we had the Sammy Davis chicken (5*) the Sunrise burger (5*) and the fried ribs( was a 2nd choice as they were out of the snapper. To me, I rate a restaurant on how I feel when leaving, was not worth the money ? Would I come back? We absolutely will, may even do it tomorrow before we fly home as there are so many other meals I'd love to try. As a bonus, the chef came out to greet us and we couldn't compliment her enough.
