Mike Anderson's was established over 3 decades ago and is famous for serving fresh South Louisiana Seafood. While Mike Anderson's Gonzales is known for providing excellent service, it is the consistency of the delicious food that truly sets us apart. Whet

I love the food! Each time I visit here I receive a pleasant experience! Iâm always one to select seafood and the fried catfish, fried oysters, fried shrimp, and hush puppies with a stuffed potato were delicious. The next day, I missed breakfast but was able to order a shrimp poboy with fries. True Louisiana flavor! I also ordered bread pudding and was surprised about the portion size. It was more than I expected and I enjoyed every bite.

This place has been hear longer than I can remember & the buildings are as old as the hills.Food is consistently good if you ask the locals.It is one of very few restaurants close by but well known for travelers & local natives alike.I had a lunch special of red beans & rice with sausage plus corn bread on my last visit that was true southern comfort food well done & my partner had a sloppy roast beef poboy that was very satisfying .Lots of history & artifacts decorate the place adding character & charm.The waitress, Mama P was personable & friendly.
4. Waffle House
Reviewed By HENRY T
we stop at the waffle house every place we drive in our part of the south -- I almost always get the all-star special but someone that came into my office one day said that this location had the best stake& eggs -- so when we were in town we checked it out -- most often when I eat the all-star special I have such a time to choose what meat of the 3 choices I want -- but I can say that the steak was the way to go -- I had to add some sides to make it like the all-star special - oh and the coffee just keep it coming hot and rich -- when in or near to Donaldsonville stop in foe the steak & eggs -- and the staff and cook will tell you just what is the best plate for your taste

If you are planning to visit the historic plantations located along the River Road from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, here is a suggestion: Reserve a room for three days at Houmas House's elegant bed-and-breakfast accommodation, then enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Houmas' three restaurants. You won't be disappointed. Cafe Burnside offers a change of pace from the Carriage House's breakfast/dinner menus and Latil's fine dining experience. Lunch is served from 11 to 2, before or after you've toured the mansion and the grounds and gardens and visited the gift shop, and offers a truly wonderful alternative to a la carte dining--a grand buffet consisting of traditional Louisiana cuisine. The buffet, which costs $25, includes gumbo, Caesar salad, fried catfish, BBQ chicken, crawfish Etouffee, red beans, sausage, rice, shrimp fettuccine pasta, corn Maque Choux and bread pudding. If you prefer a la carte, start with the bisque of curried pumpkin with crawfish and corn and a Caesar salad with chicken. For an entree, how about Louisiana seafood pasta with crawfish and shrimp, pan sauteed jumbo shrimp in a wild turkey glaze, grilled double cut pork chop on Rosemary garlic mashed potatoes, filet kabob or shrimp kabob or tender chicken breast fried in panko breadcrumbs and served with vegetable risotto and a Creole tomato sauce? Lunch was never like this.

The Grapevine restaurant had excellent food and service. We were there on Friday evening and did not have a reservation. They were able to seat us because it was early. Our table was underneath two fans and was a bit cold. The wait staff understood and turned down the fans for us which was very nice of them. I had the stuffed red fishâexcellent! My friend had the stuffed chicken. Highly recommend this restaurant.
