“I’ll start by saying this is by far the nicest restaurant I’ve been to in Alexandria. The food was adequate, well portioned and agreeable prices. The waiter and other staff were polite and largely prompt. There were a few instances that were less than ideal, but it seemed he was covering multiple sections and doing his best.

We were able to make a reservation within a few hours of dinner, and upon arrival, it really didn’t seem like reservations were necessary which surprised me for a Friday night. I had almost asked if there was a dress code given the vibe I was getting from the website, however there were gentlemen there in athletic shorts and baseball caps.

There are a few things they could do that would really elevate the experience:
Food: ease up on the Worcestershire sauce and ease up on the butter. The effect was greasy bread with a fine sheen and the steak just tasted cheap. Meat quality was akin to what you’d find at a nice chain restaurant.

Tables: there should not be a wobbly table in a place like this. Also, running an iron over the table cloths to remove the fold creases would take about an hour for one person. Again, it makes it look cheap.

Cleanliness: bussers should look under the table when cleaning. They left a bread plate and detritus under the table next to ours.

Service: speaking of bread plates, we should be offered clean plates for appetizers and not have to use the bread plate. Waiters should not be reaching over plates to refill glasses.

And lastly, this is more of a personal taste, cutlery should be heavier in the hand. Light, thin cutlery feels cheap.“

“Consistently delivering freshness, this place stands out with top-notch service. The crown jewel on their menu is undoubtedly the salmon - a dish that defines excellence in Central Louisiana."“

“Was there on Columbus Day (2024) coming back from Southern LA. The broasted chicken is AMAZING! My bride keeps asking if we can make the 130 mile drive to go back for dinner.“

“I can NOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS about the Mother’s Day buffet. My family enjoyed the phenomenal Easter buffet and looked forward to the Mother’s Day; let me say, we were impressed once again. So many wonderful things I could not sample everything but here are my favorites 1. The eggs Benedict … this delicious golden yolk cascaded down, mingling with the silky thyme hollandaise to infuse into the soft English muffin…. Absolute delish!!! 2. The shrimp and grits …. Perfectly cooked spicy shrimp with Gouda grits was a testimony to why southern Louisiana cuisine reigns supreme …. And the Monica sauce elevates it to elegance while still your tummy is pampered with down home comfort. 3. The fried fish! This is a chef’s secret because it was not traditional fried fish. Whatever the secret, it delivered scrumptiousness in every crispy tender bite! Oh and don’t forget the homemade tartar sauce! 4. …… and the perfectly cooked Prime Rib! with the amazing horseradish sauce to complement … definitely a show stopper 5. The ambiance…. The service as always great …..Which seems to be part of the family atmosphere….. and the soft jazz …..taking it from just dining with family to Mother’s Day memories“

“My husband and I along with our two grandchildren ate at Chilis this past weekend after our baseball tournament. Our waitress was Monica she was absolutely amazing. Bless her heart it appeared she was the only waitress there but she made sure all of her tables were very well taken care of, along with sitting people coming in, and getting food and drinks out in a very timely manner. Her great attitude and and passion for her job will be our reason to come back. Shout out to Ms. Monica thanks again for making this our best experience ever!!!“
