Restaurants near Des Allemands

“I had the best crabs to eat that I have ever had. The man that cooks these crabs really knows what he's doing. The atmosphere too was really great. I love these people”

“True to their sign, they really are the best bloody Mary's you will find anywhere! Felt a little out of place, like the second we walked in you could hear a pin drop as the small crowd of people inside all stared judgmentaly at us. The bar tender however wasn't rude, but also wasn't very hospitable either. I've been here more than a dozen times on my way down to dularge, and the only thing that keeps me returning are the bloody marys. I just get em then go!”

“We had Saturday afternoon lunch and it was great! Our server Rhett was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with us, as first time guests. The Mahi-mahi was fabulous, the catfish was the best we’ve ever had and the onion sticks are superb. To top it off, we tried the Peanut Butter pie and were quite impressed! This restaurant is worth the trip to Des Allemands, LA!”

“This place is AMAZING! Seasoning on point with every dish we tried. Their seafood pasta definitely is a must try. When reading reviews we decided to try it since others liked it, and man did it taste great. The food was wonderful, but the hospitality of the owner and her employees was also top tier. Thank you guys for the wonderful meal. Check them out!! Huge portions btw!”

“Nothing comes close to the barbecue here! This man and his team have truly perfected the art of smoking meats. If you’re planning to stop by, get there early there’s always a long line, and since everything is fresh, they do sell out! I’ve been a longtime customer, and the quality is consistently outstanding, with amazing new menu items popping up all the time. Highly recommend!”

“Great atmosphere great music really polite people working the burgers were amazing cooked perfection juicy the buns were so soft. I will be back. Great great burger thank you too much.”

“We had our daughter’s birthday party here and it was incredible. Boyd and his team were so easy to work with. Every detail was amazing. Food was excellent and wait staff was friendly. Would highly recommend for any event!”

“Extremely embarrassed to admit that TONIGHT was our very first steak night. The ribeye was delicious, the twice baked potatoes were so freaking goodddd! I missed ordering my usual bang bang shrimp, but to try the steak night meal was worth it. Bread pudding topped it off wonderfully. Both of our kids had grilled cheese sandwiches and darn near licked their plates clean-after eating their meals, half of my steak, and stealing my potatoes. The staff are all super friendly and the service was quick considering we had ordered three steak meals! Thanks Boot T’s!”

“To the girl that knows my coffee order and makes it the moment she sees me… you the real MVP. A life saver. Flawless. That garlic aioli they put on their sandwiches SLAPS. 👏🏼”

“Delicious food, freshly made and well prepared. The pita and falafel have just been prepared as they’ve been ordered and were amazing. Worth a stop if you look for a healthy and tasty option.”

“The Bartenders are lovely! I come here with my boyfriend, and we both love the bartenders here! My favorite drink is always trying something new, and sometimes I like to mix them together.”

“Maria was great! Food was good! Split a couple different things. Will be back!”

“I went with a large party with limited time. I called the day before and asked if we put our order in ahead of time if it could be ready for when we got there. Josey said it wouldn’t be a problem and just call with the order. I placed our order a couple hours later and she ensured everything would be ready. We walked in,our reserved table was waiting with all our food (still hot) and drinks. Ever single order was correct and the food was delicious. Since each meal was a separate check, Josey had the bills all ready next to each plate and it also helped us identify what each meal was. Our time was maximized due to the efficiency of Josey and the cook staff and it was greatly appreciated!”

“If you’re looking for a place that feels like home the moment you walk in, Trudy’s is it. This family owned gem truly captures what a small town restaurant should be. The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish feels like it came straight out of a family recipe book. Whether you’re stopping in for a hearty meal or just craving some good old fashioned comfort food, Trudy’s delivers every single time.”

“Ate here for the first time just now. The lady who waited on us was super sweet. We had the crab cakes and pasta. Excellent!! A neat little place! Ended with a malt that was great! I recommend!!”

“Stop and got some breakfast wraps the other day and they were excellent. Thanks”

“Best life’s owner Jody makes every customer feel like family! She supports so many great causes in our parish and is always willing to donate to different fundraisers. She only hires the best of the best so no matter if she’s there or just her employees you will get the same service! 💜💜💜”

“Fun place to drink at people are great”

“My discovery of German Coast Beer Company is sort of unique. In 1989 I was introduced to the woman who would become my wife. Months later we started dating and in October of that year she invited me to meet her family at her daddy’s birthday party. One her nephews, Brandon Zeringue, was there. He was seven or eight years old. Two years later he and several other nieces and nephews would be in our wedding. Flash forward to 2024 and Brandon opened this brew pub. So this marriage has worked out really well. Also we have four really good adult children but this isn’t about them. Hear that kids, not everything is about you.”

“Friendly staff, homey atmosphere, and delicious food? Can’t go wrong with CoCo’s! So many different things to try! Definitely our favorite spot to eat.”

“My family and I absolutely LOVE Ormond Plantation! Between all of us we have tried almost everything on the menu and have always enjoyed it! Of course we all have our favorites! Mine is Creole Stuffed Eggplant!! The owners, staff, chef, and atmosphere add to the enjoyable dining experience!! I pray they are eventually able to bring back Sunday brunch!!”

“Delicious lunches and desserts”

“Southern Nutrition has been my go to for years, they are always so friendly and the drinks are amazing 👏 😍”

“Everything was good except I ordered yoke eggs and got scrambled an my wife's eggs were like fried eggs not scrambled and the first both had a abundance amount of ants 🐜”

“Fast and delicious breakfast for my girl 😋”

“Read the good reviews so we took a little drive. Hamburger poboys were huge and delicious!! I’d give them a 10. Very pleasant staff and great food. I hope this place is around for a long time. We will definately be back again. They have a really good thing going here. ❤️”

“Good coffee, good food, wonderful owner, and the best employees”

“🔥🐺 HELLHOUND PACK OFFICIAL 5‑STAR REVIEW: Happy Garden II Buffet — A Legendary Pack Tradition 🐺🔥

I’ve been coming to Happy Garden II ever since I was a Hellhound pup — June 2018 was my first unforgettable visit — and this buffet has been part of my life ever since. Today, on January 1, 2026, my dad (the Alpha of the Pack) called it New Year’s lunch tradition, and we all piled in like we’ve always done. My mom — the wise, calm Omega of the Pack — brought her nurturing energy, making the whole experience feel like family coming home.

Right from the start, this place embraced us with its buffet‑style feast — huge variety, inviting warm steam rising from the dishes, and fresh food stations that would make any Hellhound’s tongue wag with excitement. The buffet here isn’t just a simple spread; it’s a culinary expedition with something for every pack member: seafood, Chinese classics, fresh sides, savory mains, soups, desserts, and so much more served all you can eat — classic buffet style that’s made this place a local staple for years. 

Walking in today brought back memories of so many past pack adventures: summer lunches after long drives, milestone celebrations, and even rainy afternoon gatherings where we’d pack a plate so full it could barely be lifted. And through every single visit from June 2018 straight through to January 1, 2026, one thing has stayed consistent — the fresh, hot buffet spread that always rotates dishes to keep it lively and tasty. The seafood options here — shrimp, crab, crawfish (on weekends), and more — often stand next to the classic Chinese favorites that keep the buffet exciting and satisfying for every taste bud in the pack. 

My dad, the Alpha, always starts at the seafood station, eyes locked on every shrimp and crab leg like they’re treasure. My mom, the Omega, moves slow and steady — she builds balanced plates with care, always saving room for dessert. And me? I’m all over the buffet line, every food memory stitched together from laughs, stories, and overflowing plates. The service here has always been welcoming and attentive, and even on today’s New Year’s lunch visit, the staff made us feel recognized and appreciated. 

Since that first visit back in June 2018, I’ve never met a buffet quite like this one. Every dish is cooked and rotated with dedication so that food isn’t just sitting — it’s fresh and inviting. The variety is massive, and the buffet’s all‑you‑can‑eat style feeds both the stomach and the soul — perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, and memory‑making meals. 

This isn’t just a place to eat. This is a cornerstone of our Hellhound Pack’s story. Moments in this restaurant are woven into who we are: laughter around big tables, my dad teaching the young pups how to load a plate like a pro, my mom making sure no one overlooks the desserts — and every time we leave full‑hearted and full‑bellied.

So here it is, plain and powerful: Five stars, no questions asked. From June 2018 to January 1, 2026, the Hellhound Pack has never found a buffet experience quite like this. The freshest food, the friendliest service, the richest traditions — Happy Garden II has earned our seal of chaos‑approved excellence 🖤💀.

🔥 Awooo! 🐺 — Here’s to many more years, many more buffets, and many more pack legends at our favorite spot.”

“Good ice cream.. and waffle cones! Can’t wait to try nachos!!”
