I was looking forward to dining at Lakewood after not visiting for seven years. This time, I was excited to bring my family along as we were celebrating a birthday. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing, with the best part being the time spent with my family rather than the meal itself.
We arrived at 6:20 PM, but our food didn't arrive until 8:20 PM. The service was severely lacking, which was evident from the start. They were out of boiled shrimp, and later, there was a mix-up with our orders, further delaying our meal. By the time our food finally arrived, I requested it be packed in to-go boxes due to the extended wait.
Our server, who seemed to be the only one working, handed us our food and apologized for the delay, adding that a tip had already been included. Unfortunately, the food itself was far from satisfactory. My party remarked that the fish tasted as if it had been reheated in a microwave, and the shrimp was extremely unappetizing. The only positive feedback was that the steak was decent.
To add to the disorganization, our server had to return to our table because she forgot what we had ordered and needed to make a ticket and stated an automatic gratuity is added to the ticket. Due to the poor service, it's clear that we will not be returning. The overall experience was very disappointing.

All their fried seafood is excellent. It's well worth the 30 minute drive from Natchitoches. We will certainly be going there again.
Our waitress was the only thing that saved this train wreck. After ordering, we waited over an hour for our food. When it arrived it was horrible. The fish was cold and greasy. Catfish strips were ordered and cold filets were served. What was meant to be a nice Mother's Day dinner turned into a over priced take home meal for the dogs.

I grew up eating here quite often. The food and service were always amazing. My husband took me there tonight for Mother’s Day and it was terrible. Our order was wrong and what we did get had no flavor at all. The steaks were burnt and the salad bar was almost empty. That was my last trip there for food that was terrible. I will bypass this place and travel to Natchitoches to eat from now on. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone anymore. Quality of food and service has went down!

Not only is the catfish amazing, but their steaks and burgers are top notch!

My husband enjoyed the catfish but the sweet potato fries were limp and soggy. The hushpuppies were way to large and raw in the middle. I had the fried duck tenderloins and baked potato. The potatoe was Luke warm and the texture was like it had been reheated in the microwave. The duck looked good but it had absolutely no flavor at all. They only brought cocktail sauce as a dipping sauce although on the appetizer menu it would have been served with a dipping sauce. It would be much better if I would have some remolaud sauce. We would have brought this to the attention of our waitress but aftet she sat our food down she didn't come back until we were done and my husband asked for a to go box for his left over fish. We saw her outside smoking when we drove up and then she disappeared until we were almost done and after we went to the front to pay we saw her again back out smoking. Nothing against smokers but 3 times in an hour and 20 minutes when you are on the clock.... come on. She reeked of smoked. Probably won't be making the drive back to eat there again.
