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.
While many customers praised the food as delicious and fresh, there were several complaints about poor flavor and inconsistency in dishes.
Service Excellence
Numerous reviews highlighted exceptional service from various staff members, with specific servers receiving repeated commendations for their attentiveness and friendliness.
Atmosphere
The restaurant is generally described as clean and well-organized, though some customers noted it can get crowded and noisy.
Menu Changes
Customers expressed disappointment over the removal of popular menu items, indicating a desire for the return of certain dishes.
Mixed Experiences
Overall, experiences varied widely, with some customers having fantastic meals while others reported significant dissatisfaction with both food and service.

My friends and I visited Dons last night and were very disappointed. This is usual a staple on our list but this was by far the worst food and service I’ve had since I started coming here. The oysters were cold and the waitress took awhile to bring our bread and oyster forks which didn’t make any sense. The rest of our food was also cold and too salty and drinks took forever, she kept forgetting to bring items. Won’t be back for a while if at all. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.
