Downtown Seafood is one of those little hole-in-the-wall local places that you should know about…read more It's right on Third Street just a few doors north of Town Square on North Blvd. It has an unassuming storefront right by an Irish Bar. The inside is clean, simple, and contemporary. But the main thing about this place is the food, it's pretty special. The food isn't special because it's fancy, in fact it's pretty simple. It's definitely homestyle, and super fresh. It's freshly made to order, and your order will come out quickly. As the name would suggest, they have seafood, both fried and grilled. It can come on bread or without bread. All are good choices. It's piping hot and delicious, and can come with a variety of sides, fries, onion rings, even sweet potato fries. These are all tasty and freshly made. Usually one can get a combo with one's sandwich, which includes fries and a drink. This is nicely priced. However, in addition to the seafood, they make a really good burger. Again, the freshness and simplicity make it special. It's also a great value! Then there are the salads and plates. Something for everyone! Drop in and see what the Downtown lunch crowd has been enjoying, odds are you'll like it too...

I am a sucker for a waterfront restaurant…read more Located in New Roads right on the water, Morel's offers a world class view. The view is so great that I could probably even ignore poor service or mediocre food. Luckily, both were great which made this one of my favorite dining experiences of 2025. When I first walked in, there were no other customers. This made me a little worried. That worry evaporated once the onion rings hit the table. Hell yes. Get these. They are wonderful. The steak was also very darn good. Best steak I've ever had? Probably not but still very good. Service was friendly and attentive. Remember when I said there were no other customers? They started rolling in after we were seated. We must've timed it right. If you're anywhere near New Roads, you should add Morel's to your list.

It was a few exits from my hotel. Walked in and only one other couple in the place. It was clean…read moreand nice looking but your normal quick service location. Staff was nice. Treated me once I got to counter to order. I had already looked at the menu before going over so I knew what I wanted. Ordered the chicken and sausage jambalaya with potato salad. They were out of the chicken and sausage jambalaya so I had to wait about 20 mins for them to make a new batch. That was ok because I knew it would be fresh and hot. Waited at a table for my food to go. Took it back to the hotel. The jambalaya had a good flavor to it. The chicken was a rough chop so you got small pieces and large pieces which was nice. Some of the rice was a bit dry and crunchy but over all it was good. The potato salad was good but I think the potatoes were a bit over cooked and make the salad taste like mashed potatoes. I could not see the sweet relish or taste the crunch but I know it was in there, the potato salad had a sweet taste to it. I like it better than mustard based ones. The cornbread was on point, only missed some butter. It was sweet and good consistency. The banana pudding was better the next day after I throw it on the fridge. Not sure if the short drive made it warm up or if their fridge was not working too well. It did need a little more fresh banana chunks for my liking but it was good over all. This location is recommended.

I ordered catfish and it was SPOILED ROTTEN! I bit into it & the smell alone almost blew me away! I…read moreknow good and well y'all smelled this before putting it in the fryer! I returned the food & asked to speak with a manage, but conveniently there wasn't a manger on site so I left my contact info. The manager (Nory) called a few hours later not to address my concern, but to insult my intelligence & palate by delivering a dissertation on how fish naturally smells and the oils it produces. And I quote, "you are the only customer who complained TODAY." The fish did not taste or smell fishy, it was SPOILED! What they failed to understand is that it only takes one customer to tell you your food is inedible for it to warrant attention. I wasn't looking for a lecture; I simply wanted a sincere apology and reassurance that my concern was being taken seriously. Instead, I was met with defensiveness and condescension. 0/10 I do NOT recommend!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while so one day I finally stopped by! When I walked in,…read moreI immediately noticed the ambiance of the restaurant and loved it. It gives a nice chill vibe and you feel right at home. They have a clear glass divide and you can see all their soul food lined up in the warming pans. I ordered the red beans and rice with smoked sausage, spaghetti and cheese, green beans and cornbread. Everything was delicious and served fresh and hot. The red beans were seasoned well with a hint of sweetness and loaded with meat. The green beans and spaghetti and cheese were great as well as the cornbread. The service was fast and great. All of the staff were so kind.

I truly love and support the owner, but I have to be honest--this place just isn't hitting for me…read more I gave it a second try hoping my experience would be better than the first time I visited the Plank Road at Harding location, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered the Thursday special, and overall, the food lacked real flavor. The only seasoning that stood out was black pepper. At this point, I've come to realize that not everyone has the same standard when it comes to good food. The atmosphere had its positives--the building is nice and the space was cool--but the music was so loud that we couldn't comfortably hold a conversation, and the temperature was actually a bit too cold to fully enjoy dining in. The only items I genuinely enjoyed were the fountain drinks and the Hawaiian roll. The rest of the meal fell short. The mashed potatoes were overly saturated with gravy, and while the yams had potential, they needed more sweetness--brown sugar especially. I could taste hints of butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, but it just didn't come together. Service-wise, the staff was polite but lacked warmth or personality. The interaction felt dry and uninviting. Even with my experience, the restaurant stayed busy, with customers continuing to come in. I really wish the food had matched my expectations, because I wanted to enjoy it--but it just wasn't for me.
