“Great addition to the Calhoun area!! A lot of places in Calhoun only thrive because of the fact they are close and people don’t feel like driving into West Monroe, looking at you iron cactus. This place is the exception it’s your standard southern fried seafood but done extremely well. I’d put it up against any place in town. They also still serve baked potatoes which for some reason is a rarity nowadays in seafood joints. Great service and plenty of seating. Prices are also very reasonable for seafood. Stop by you won’t be disappointed.“
“Really nice place everyone had a great time and we felt respected and cared for throughout the entire time and the food wasn't as expensive as initially believed one of the few places that's amazing and affordableVegetarian options: They're flexible with the menu to where if you ever needed it they can make vegetarian meals with access to a variety of veggies including tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, etc. They have a lot of healthy options if you ask them about it“
“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!“
“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!“
“Passing by on my way back to Texas . I was getting Gas and this dinner was connected to it . Food was so good & our waitress Natalie was so sweet . She had the best customer service ever . Someone needs to give that girl a raise . She was the sweetest !“
