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.

recently had lunch at Don's Seafood in Metairie and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience, especially compared to how I remember it years ago.
I ordered the redfish, which was $37, and the portion was surprisingly small for the price.
More concerning, the quality just didn't match expectations. The gumbo had a noticeably strange flavor—almost off—which made it hard to enjoy and raised questions about freshness or preparation.
This used to be a place known for
dependable, flavorful Cajun seafood, but this visit felt like a step down in both quality and value. For the price point, I expected much More.

We arrived at 4:00. Only a couple of tables had patrons & we were told it would be a 40 minute wait. When we said we were leaving the suddenly had enough servers to get us in right away. Saw our server maybe 3 times. Food was mediocre.
Crawfish platter had good variety & was good.
Etouffe was not up to par.
Gumbo was also only okay.
Crab spinach dip was delicious.
Kid's burger was practically burnt & flavorless. They did remake it a little better but still lacking flavor & even salt.

Visiting from out of town, we decided to go after hearing about it from friends. It was kind of busy so we had to wait to be seated. After being seated, our server came and took our drink order. A short while later she back and took our food order. It took awhile for us to receive our food. I was excited to try the food, but very disappointed when I got it. It wasn't even hot, and barely warm. The server never came back to check to see if we were ok, or needed anything else. When she finally came back she saw that the food was barely touched. She never asked if we wanted her to do anything or how she could fix it. We had children with us and they were getting restless so we just asked for the check and left. After all the good things I had heard I was really disappointed. Maybe we caught them on a bad night, I don't know.
