Big J's Side…read morePorch is a food truck serving barbecue, burgers, catfish, Cajun/creole specialities, loaded nachos, etc. The service area is indeed a covered side porch with easy accessibility via ramp. Service is friendly and efficient. A stage area is available for bands and karaoke. I had a burger and fries and friends had the catfish speciality, or loaded nachos. All were reasonably good. Prices were competitive. Sweetened ice tea was available, but unsweetened was not. Bottled water was available, but served at room temp. If you're looking for fancy, Big J's might not be for you, but a good sampling of local cuisine is available. Barbecue might be the best choice.

We were starting our drive back to Michigan and quickly looked up where to get boudin & cracklin'…read moreto bring home with us. We were happy to see Ronnie's popped up and had great reviews. We tried Boudin Balls that were stuffed (with cheese) and the regular. They were both outstanding but I'd say maybe the ones without cheese were better. It's hard to say because they were both very good. The smoked boudin was better in my opinion only because the casing dries out a bit it makes it crispy so we of course just ate it whole. The regular boudin has a casing that isn't crispy so we chose to just eat the filling. The inside was just as good as the smoked. We only tried the chicken cracklin's and holy cow were they good! Some pieces were real crispy while others were a bit bigger and still had some meat on them. There was a perfect mix up large and small pieces, crispy and not crispy pieces. I wish we had these in Michigan. We brought home some andouille so we could make jambalaya and gumbo. We just cooked some andouille, and it was a little bit spicy and so good. We also brought home some boudin and can't wait to cook that. Be sure to check out their freezer section and take home some different things. This place was such a gem to find! The staff was very friendly and helped us make decisions on exactly what we needed to try since we had never been before. There is seating inside if you're looking to eat there. We just ordered things we could eat on our road trip home as well as things to cook/eat later. I'm only complaint was that the bathroom was not very clean and the toilet didn't flush. That doesn't matter much because you should really be going here for the food! :)

Really enjoyed the festive atmosphere with lively Dixieland jazz music playing in the dining room…read more Ordered the Boudin Stuffed Pork Chop with side of mashed sweet potatoes & the jalapeño cheese grits. Overall great flavor though the grits were very dry like they had been baked on the plate and had a crispy crust on the outside. They tasted good, but I wasn't expecting that texture. My mom ordered the flounder with cream sauce and sides of potato salad & mashed sweet potatoes. She said she really enjoyed it. They also served a bread basket of thinly sliced salted garlic bread before the meal. We ordered a slice of the chocolate doberge cake to take home which seemed a bit more like French silk chocolate pie with a chocolate cake bottom. Tasted delicious & very rich. Our waitress was very friendly. Plenty of parking spaces outside. They have a large bar area too so seems like it would be a fun happy hour spot after work.

This restaurant recently changed to a buffet even though the last thing Columbia Mississippi needed…read morewas yet another buffet full of fried food. The buffet was very sloppy and disorganized. Most things not labeled or labeled incorrectly. Much of the food seemed old like it had been sitting a long time. The chicken was dry as a bone and very bland. Biscuits hard as rocks. Much of the salad bar items were browning and wilting. Dirty tables as well. In a town with many buffet options all offering more or less the same items, you'd think they would attempt to be better, not worse.

The hushpuppies he had were also good too! It's a really nice spot to stop if you're in the Natchez area!

Raw next time. Had the catfish LeBeaux and it was ok - a large portion. I'm not a fan of etoufee on top of fried food as the fried batter quickly becomes soggy. I should have ordered blackened as it might have been better. The etoufee was thick and bland. Luckily they had hot sauce on the table which made it better. Not sure why they don't have any cayenne in the etoufee recipe. Accompanying bread stick was stale. Tried the famous Alligator and Shrimp cheesecake. It was ok. Very rich and interesting flavor. The Yelp highly recommended plantation cake is no longer on the menu.
