30 Best American Restaurants near Ball

“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!“

“Tried Chrissy’s for the first time today. The people were so friendly and the atmosphere is great! It’s easy to tell that they take so much pride in their creation! I had the loaded baked potato with chicken and steak and it was amazing!! Do yourself a favor and give them a try!! ❤️“

“Got the Philly, it's delicious. I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu. Prices are insane, and the portions are huge. Keep it up! Nice folks running this place!“

“I found this place by watching tv. Was here couple of years and was angry because all this time I had such a wonderful place to eat at and didn't know it! The staff, restaurant, and food are amazing for real!!!!“

“Absolutely delicious!! Fabulous corn soup and spinach salad!! Great service as well!“

“always friendly always great food.“

“My cousin showed me this place yesterday and the food was GOOD!! I got the fish, great price!!! Real, seasoned right fish and I got a burger and fries. Everything 10/10.“

“I've been having lunch here for years - great place to eat!“

“Everything I have ordered has been delicious!“

“Food was excellent, as was the service and atmosphere. Definitely going back!“

“The staff is always so professional and friendly, which is very hard to find these days. Everything that I have eaten was fresh and hot. All I can say is thank you!!“

“This place is awesome. I stopped by today for lunch and had the pot roast hot pressed sandwich. It was amazing, veggies fresh and crisp, juicy delicious meat, and great service. Definitely stop by when you are close and need some lunch.“

“Had the pleasure of eating at Pamela's yesterday. First time customer. Met Pamela. What a wonderful person. The food is home cooking. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Happy customer. Give it a 10.“

“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!“

“Bigfoot travels all around Louisiana and says if you are ever in Bentley and crave a fantastic burger or just like to look at Elvis memorabilia, then stop here at Mel’s; you will not be disappointed. We got to meet with the owner and you can tell she loves what she does, loves her customers and loves her employees. Thank you!!“

“My wife and I had a lunch date at each other's work and met there. She had the pasta dish with shrimp, and I had the Philly cheese steak. I had my share in the past (yes, even in PA). Here is what you can expect: freshly shaved meat on the bun, which you can tell is not the frozen style from the delivery truck. Top of that you have the salad bar with every entrée, all fresh. She(wife)is very particular of her food,as seasoning and presentation. Neither has failed her expectations for the size of the meal she couldn't finish it all.\n We will be back.“

“Food was really good, could use a touch of something special. Not sure what to say other than the food is solid but could be a tiny bit better depending on each persons taste. Staff was nice but didn’t seem like they wanted to be there at all. Biggest upset is the atmosphere and typical guests that they attract. This place is cheaper, so you will get a few people that come from lower income background which is fine but when I can see moldy feet sticking out of your sandals in the middle of a place where people eat, I have a problem with that. The restaurant isn’t at fault for their guests but realize that the atmosphere is nothing fancy at all which makes some people feel a little too at home here.“

“I never leave five star reviews because no place is perfect. But this place is the exception. I don't know the chefs, but they cook food that ruins every other restaurants' food. I've eaten in many states and five countries, but this place is my favorite. The staff (shout out to Chris, Megan, Lauren, Kristen, Treyvon, and the rest) are mind-blowing in how far they go. By now, I've eaten most things on the menu, except the salad, and each was absolutely delicious. I have been back and will be back again.“

“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."“

“Great family-run lunchtime yumm. Philly cheesesteak right outta Philadelphia!!“

“I’m on the PTO for a large school here in Pineville.We celebrated teacher appreciation today with a camping theme lunch that featured poboys. The po boys was a complete hit. AB and the rest of the staff there were a pleasure to deal with even when I called last minute to add a vegetable poboy to my order. They even sent plates and Napkins with our order they went above and beyond for us. I can’t thank them enough for helping us show the staff how appreciated they are.“

“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“

“Meatloaf and blueberry pancakes were delicious“

“Ms. Rachel was our waitress and cocktail provider. She was so friendly. The hummus she recommended for our starter really kicked off the meal. Her drinks were delicious and refreshing. Her cucumber Gin and Tonic was a sparkling surprise that went really well with my perfectly barely seared Tuna steak with grilled pineapple and jasmine rice with a wasabi honey sauce that could have been drunk. My honey got a steak that was cooked just how we like it: RARE. YUM! NOT TOO SALTY. I hate a good piece of meat that is ruined by over salting. I loved the layout of the outside eating area with all of the flowers and the super groovy music. They had Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, and Tyler Childers playing over the speakers. It is by far the best dining experience I've had in a long time. I usually end up regretting going out and wish I had just cooked at home instead of wasting my money on restaurant food. They get a 100% approval rating for atmosphere, taste, and service! Who knew such a gem was waiting on an out of the blue Louisiana adventure!?“

“Great food, and great prices!!!!“

“1 of my favorite places to eat dinner at!
I love their Oriental chicken salad and their wine ton tacos!
Their spinach and artichoke dip is excellent!
Their queso dip and chips is good too!
Very friendly staff too
Me, my folks, our relatives and our friends come here
I highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“Im still going to give a 5 star because the Pitt has been my #1 breakfast/3am spot for 20 years but you almost can't even eat between 7am-10am since they zone away with the window blinds. Not at the window tables for sure. Hope they fix this soon, im sure its affecting tips too.“

“Today’s visit was fantastic, our waitress Sierra was amazing and not once let us run out of drinks, we didn’t have to chase her down to ask for anything, she was on top of us, she had other tables and still was very attentive, very great service compared to other times we have ate here.“

“This has to be one of the most authentic restaurant’s I have ever been to. If you want gourmet food at a affordable price look no further. I was blown away by the world class customer service and professionalism from the entire staff! Thank you Super Al’s, you have won my loyalty to your stellar brand!“
