Slaydens is a Classic. I wish they offered more than 1 kind of BBQ sauce. The vinegar is too strong for me, personally. However, theirs is SIGNATURE sauce for their place. Always has been. Their meats, pies, setting. It's all there. Did I say Pies ? Our family has Slaydens do our Holiday pies often. Those are classics as well. It's all top of the line . A small face lift would not hurt. Bringing in some new tables, seating..a coat of paint. Everything OLD needs to be brushed up from time to time. Make it look cleaner and on point. POP IT BACK into the freshness and bring it back a little. The place is deserving. Just makes it look a little cleaner and nice. KEEP THE BAR AND SEATS THERE !! That keeps the old-fashioned soda counter look and is such a great part. Their FOOD is ALL Sooo good. We will always go there and hope our children and their children continue to go. There are some things that will never be able to be copied or replaced. Slaydens is one of those. Their potato salad has always been the same. We eat dill/ mayo potato salad at home, but Slaydens is signature. I get Slaydens when I am there, and that's the ONLY place I eat, sweet potato salad .. I'm just saying. If you don't like it, get one of many other things they have that are exceptionally well done. I am so glad Slayden is still there. Sadly, you can not count in many older classics to last the test of time. I hope people are being trained to do as they do in order to carry on !!
Parking: Depends on the time of day... We always wait until AFTER the lunch rush. Let the people who work get their lunch in . Our schedules are flexible so we prefer less busy and it's always busy 11- 1 every day..They are full. And for good reason. Their food is great. !! That's what you want.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are there quite often and welcome.. there is no problem with any of that. .It is a family oriented space. Good for all.
Wheelchair accessibility: Seems fine.

I ordered a fish plate and received two pieces of fish and tartar sauce, no sides ($10). Also ordered a po-boy plate, received only the sandwich no side - total cost $20.60. If the new policy is no longer including fries with sandwich and two sides with the fish then this is the most overpriced restaurant in the parish. When I got home and realized what I received I called; it was 6:52 p.m. and they close at 7:00 so they put me on hold until after 7:00 and now the line has been busy for 10 additional minutes. I'm not calling back and not going back, would advise anyone who goes to this restaurant to check everything before you leave. On top of everything else the roast beef was about as dry as you can get meat without turning it to jerky. I have no idea who owns the restaurant now but it was not this way years ago regardless of price at least you knew you were going to get good food. So sad...

Stopped yesterday for lunch . Ordered 4 piece fish plate. Fries were old and cold. Told waitress I couldn't eat those so I got an order of baked beans that were awesome. Fish were cooked in old oil. Not the meal I was looking forward to. Have ordered this plate a FEW times before. Staff not very customer friendly. I will try one more time there but if is dirty, poor service I won't stop again. Onean had to go to the back to find the waitress to order.

I paid 43.00 for smoked chicken and 2 sides. The chicken was raw. When I brought it to their attention I was told that is just smoked chicken. It was bloody. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The staff is not any better. They didn’t make an effort to make things right. It is sad they have all of the food and I have to dispute it with my credit card company.

Great food and plenty of it, good service, reasonable prices. Love the new beans.
The main entrees were ok, but just ok. The sides were all food service entrees. So food was just mediocre. The service was terrible. The waitress just disappeared. No refills. No dessert. Won’t be going back.

If I owned this restaurant, the girls "working" this evening (AKAkeeping the seat of the stool warm , while being completely mesmerized by their phones. There was one other table of 2 in there . They left soon after we got there. There were 2 dirty booths when I got there and 4 when I left.the light covers had generations of dead bugs in them. The food was decent, but the fries were most definitely sitting under a hearing la.p for a while before I even ordered. The server had zero personality. I don't know how they tricked the owner into paying them to sit on those stools, but he/she needs to watch those cameras.
