“The fried fish is total perfection because it’s fresh, fried perfectly and seasoned just right!!Best in the area (and my husband and I eat fried fish regularly at various restaurants).”
“From meeting the owners, to savoring every last swig of juice, I am tickled from my experience. I often avoid juices because they are loaded with sugar, from concentrates and or preservatives. More than delicious, this is a satisfying change of pace.I visit the farmer's market when I can and this is my first stop every time. They also work with store fronts in Monroe. Looking forward to future developments!”
“Everything I have ordered has been delicious. They have the best jalapeño poppers you can get. I love to get an order of poppers, plus a small order of chicken wings and munch on that and watch a ball ”
“For many years in Monroe's Garden District, was one of only a few Mexican restaurants, Ernesto's. In it's heyday, going to Ernesto's was kinda like going to the bar in Cheers, a place where 'everyone knows your name.' Iron Cactus takes the meals/recipes as were offered at Ernesto's and moved over into Western Ouachita parish, there in the heart of Calhoun.The food and the environment causes one familiar with Ernesto's to feel right at home!”
“The food here is amazing. All of it is very well done. Highly recommend the Pontchartrain shrimp pasta. Customer service is good. All the different dishes I have had were great!”
“Listen - this isn’t fine dining; it’s a Subway in a small town truck stop. But ya know what? They do what they do well. The customer service is always excellent; friendly, helpful, quick, and efficient. I’ve never once had to wait on a to go order, nor has my order ever been incorrect or not satisfying. Kudos to the team working at this location. YOU are what makes this five stars.”
“The Calhoun Sonic stays busy, no matter what time of day it is. The shakes are the best!!Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is great plus there's always a toy.”
“This place is a true hometown gem, and I wish I could take it with me wherever I go (lol). Friendly service, delicious coffee. All around excellent. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Even if you’re not local, it’s 100% worth the drive.”
“Clean place, very inviting atmosphere. Staff is on point and friendly. 100% recommended for a night out with friends for a game of pool or to enjoy some live local music.”
“Wanted to try a new pizza place. I'm so glad we did. Pizza was delicious ?. Will definitely be ordering again in the future. I'll take pics next time.”
“One of the best small diners to have lunch at. Great food and awesome employees. Very interactive and the food I always fresh and home style cooked. Also offers a menu on wall for grill and fried foods. Pretty quick service too. Been a favorite for over 4 yrs..”
“Ever since the new owners took over in 2023, this place has been AWESOME! If you come by during crawfish season, you’re in the right place. Perfect spice on the best quality of crawfish you’ll find at any restaurant. If you haven’t been in a while, definitely give it another try!”
“I like this location better than the one in town. It just tastes fresher, and I love that I can order online and have it ready when I get there. I really need to remember to try breakfast there.”
“One of the best places to eat in Calhoun. The pizza is always awesome, and the staff always goes the extra mile to make sure you enjoy the food. Picking it up thru the drive thru window is cool, but actually going inside to eat will remind you of the good ole days, very family friendly, and customer oriented.”
