11 Best Southern Restaurants near Alexandria

“As if I didn’t already love this place enough but we ordered a tray for a Mardi Gras ball but accidentally called it in to the wrong location. Ms.Maria said “we got it no problem”. Her and the guys in the back had it ready in less than 10 minutes. She was so sweet and accommodating. We still made it to party on time. Thanks Maria and crew!“

“We stopped in for lunch today, and the special was meatloaf. It was to die for! All the sides looked wonderful, and between the two of us, hubby and I sampled the mashed potatoes, rice, gravy, green beans, Mac and cheese, mustard greens, and yams. Everything was just like our mamas cooked it. Friendly dining area, and you just cannot go wrong with a stopover when you're in town. Love it!“

“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."“

“Everything I have ordered has been delicious!“

“The food was cooked fresh, in a timely manner, & tasted great. I got fried green tomatoes to start & the grilled fish & shrimp. My husband got the fried fish. There was so much food that I had to take some home.“

“Man I’m telling go get the boudin balls they are the best“

“Food was great, a little bit different than the other restaurants around town (and different from how they used to serve their food) for example the yellow chunky cheese on the quesadilla instead of the queso. It was still good. Service was super fast except for receiving the check but the server was nice. The only thing that completely threw me and my fiance off is seeing the bartender literally brush his teeth at the bar in front of everyone while yelling at the football game…“

“Ate there today! Food was great service was wonderful and everyone was so friendly.“

“The food is great and plentiful! The atmosphere is friendly and you can still talk with your group without the music drowning you out. The service is fast and courteous.We love it!“

“I had an “enjoyable” time here in 2012 for “WLC” Some of the instructors were racist. But that’s to be expected. It’s the army. The females barracks were definitely haunted. But instead they treated us as if we were insane. Food at the chow hall was mediocre. But we were glad to sit with others and talk even if it was briefly. They used to have inmates working in the chow hall and all around the grounds. They wore white jumpsuits. That was a bit weird. Glad I was only there for 2 weeks. What made it memorable were my battle buddies. Not an ideal place, but at least we got interesting memories!“

“Everytime I go the food is always amazing. The boudin is my favorite single item. Both spicy and mild. Their plate lunches are also to die for. Plenty of sides with a hearty main course. You'd be crazy not to get your southern comfort food from here.“
