  I recently visited Louisiana Charlie’s in Long Beach and ordered the shrimp po’ boy with Cajun fries, along with chicken wings served with fries and yams. The shrimp po’ boy was the clear standout. The shrimp were perfectly fried, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. It came fully dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a flavorful house-made remoulade, all on a toasted French roll that held everything together nicely. Easily the highlight of the meal. I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Cajun fries. The seasoning was solid and flavorful, but they didn’t have the crispiness I prefer—especially compared to their regular fries. That said, portions were generous across the board, and nothing felt skimpy. The atmosphere and service were both great. You order and pay first, then take a seat. Sarah at the register did an excellent job helping us and made the process smooth. The only minor drawback is that if you want to add anything later, you have to walk back up front to pay—but that’s a small inconvenience in an otherwise very positive experience. Overall, great food, great service, and a great visit. I’ll definitely be back.

  Absolutely do not come here. Service was rude, food is overpriced for the small portions and the rooms are so cramped and small loud customers make the experience worst. Not worth the price you pay.

  Overall an ok experience. Paying before you eat always makes you wonder why is this needed and in my opinion It can make you feel as if its more of a food truck experience instead of dining at a restaurant. The bbq smoke smelled great and we made our choices, paid, and waited on a patio with a nice view of the lighthouse and people walking by. A runner brought our drinks, and soon after our meals arrived by server. He was friendly and the food looked good. The Yams were my favorite and the mac n cheese very tasty. My huband had a catfish special and raved about the red beans , collard greens and my yams. He is from New Orleans so he would know how this should taste. Unfortunately my ribs were pretty tough not alot of meat very dried up just covered in sauce possibly to hide the fact they may have been old... Our server didn't return for quite awhile. When he was leaving another table I stopped him & asked if we could have a refill of our drink and only then did he inquire how our food was. I was like its ok but the disappointment it was delivered with should have given some kind of response. In reality I should have been honest and told him this was not what I expected. The reviews I saw on You Tube made it sound amazing and at $30 a half slab(5 ribs and an end piece) I expected better... I ended up asking another server if the ribs normally came out like this. She took one look at them and said definitely not. I can see how dried they are from here. Can I get you some to take home they just came off the smoker. Yes please. Very nice and the right thing to do. When I tried these later at home they were SO much better than the first time. Juicy, meaty , and a little smokey. Very happy that they replaced what I had, with what should have come out the first time. I will say they did right in the end but the first ribs #1 shouldn't have been served and drowned in bbq sauces to hide they were old & #2 our server should have looked at them and asked for better ones or told us it would be a little longer for some fresher ribs just off the smoker. Also check on your table to see how their food is within a few minutes is usually a good idea. I am grateful the other server was able to step in and get us the better ribs she is my hero and deserves to be recognized for doing the right thing

  Went here while visiting for our Cruise. The food was really good. They have you place your order before they seat you. Portion sizes were more than enough to share service was good. I would recommend the Gumbo it was great.
