The truth is, you don’t become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word “authentic” on your sign. When you’ve served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too.
Grilled, fried or on ice–there’s time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable.
We’ve spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It’s a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you’re always part of the family.

- GHGlenn hoodtoday5.0Very accommodating for business luncheon! Courteous and welcoming!
- SES E2 days ago3.0We have eaten here for many years and loved the food. Tonight we had the regular and the jacked up chargrilled oysters. The flavor is great however I have never seen such tiny oysters in my life. It looked like they cut really small oysters in half. They were so small they were literally glued to the shell because of the heat used to cook them. Definitely not worth the money. Also the stuffed grilled shrimp are getting much smaller. And the boiled shrimp dinner was good but only included 12 shrimp - looked like the short end of large sized shrimp and nowhere near a pound. We live in Louisiana, buy and cook Louisiana seafood frequently and there is no excuse for this kind of subpar quality - especially from Don’s. Very disappointing.
- HFHeather FreemanDec 6, 20251.0If you would have asked me 10 months ago I would have giving a wonderful 5 star review! Now I would have rathered drive thru seafood instead of getting ready and going out . The platters were so small and sad the catfish filets were literally all breading and only got 1 peice on a 32$ plate. They gave me a small bowl maybe 4 ozs of green beans and charged 6$ . The waitress was the worst waitress I've ever had there ,she thought she would do better on her party table . I can tell you if you can't handle a party of 15 and a single table you shouldn't be waitressing ! Btw I usually leave about 45$ tip . This waitress was worse than a buffet waitress. Every cup on my table was empty . All the food came out at once ! We didn't even get more utensils for our food til the host saw us looking around ! The host will be a great waitress after her birthday this month! I am not just any customer I was a manager that trained over 160 waitresses there is no excuse to ignore your orginal table because you know your about to get huge gratuities from a party table . I have always been satisfied with the great food and service at this Dons not anymore! The food was literally horrible, I've never been disappointed til now! Idk what yall have done but I'll be spreading the news ! My 13 dollar BOWL of GUMBO had 5 shrimp ,2 with shells, and 3 chunks of crab meat and tasted gritty . The etouffee was powdery and flavorless and shrimp also had shells ! The gumbo had always been my favorite full of meat ! Not anymore ! I'll be traveling to baton rouge for seafood from now on .
- TPThomas PluckDec 6, 20255.0Great food all around. Had the jacked-up char-broiled oysters, seafood gumbo, red beans and rice, catfish, and love it all.
- VCVicky CreasyNov 16, 20255.0We love Don’s! I have never had anything that wasn’t fantastic. Today I found my new favorite greens beans that I’ve ever had. My daughter got the chicken and waffles and said it was “amazing.” All of our seafood was so good. Their hush puppies are such a good appetizer. I’ve never had anything oyster there that I didn’t like.
