“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“When I say I am addicted to their birria tacos, that is an understatement. I’ve tried many restaurants birria tacos about 4 others to exact lol. This spot tops them all, I just can’t get enough! From the dipping sauce to the tacos themselves the hot sauce provided on the side….OMG!”

“Had to try it while in town. Very nice environment. Loved the hot fries with just the right amount of salt :-). Burger was a delicious loved your depeaux sauce. Your homemade pickles are amazing ! Yes I did buy a jar to bring home. Nice touch ! Oh let’s not forget the BREAD PUDDING insanely GOOD!!! Congratulations on a job well done DEPEAUX.”

“I must say the customer service is amazing the lady at the counter is so sweet! So I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and because I just had my teeth pulled I couldn’t eat the chicken unfortunately so I went to go order something else without thinking about asking for a refund or anything and she asked what was wrong I told her i had my money out ready to buy some nuggets and she said that she would give me a refund and I said no thankyou and she offered to replace the food so I agreed but only if she didn’t mind and she said not at all! So she said something about giving me the meal again and I said I had gotten my fry’s already and she said she would give me another order for free!! I couldn’t help but to think oh my goodness best customer service I’ve had in a very long time. Very wonderful business and the food is always delicious!! She’s running a proper drive up restaurant. The prices are affordable not high like everywhere else nowadays. Thankyou for wonderful service and she’s always with a smile!

Kid-friendliness: Our children love the chicken nuggets best around!”

I have never teared to food in my life until I tried this the spice the flavor it's all amazing and just packed full of flavor I'd travel the 11 hours again any day just knowing I could eat this food it amazing”

“The Seafood Shack was a last minute decision and was absolutely the best choice to for dinner in Amite.”

“Amazing Amazing Amazing! From entry to exit!! We've actually stayed in the bed and breakfast upstairs before but never sat in the restaurant to eat. When I tell you we were impressed that would be an understatement. The owner was onsite...and working alongside her employees. The food...well, I'll stop at I asked the chef for his recipe to the bread pudding sauce (and I'm a baker)and presentation is EVERYTHING to me, they did not disappoint. Sarah, our server was so friendly...like a sister we'd just met. If I could 10 star this restaurant, I certainly would!
FYI the chef did NOT share that recipe, but I ate enough to figure it out...”

“Great variety, great atmosphere, and great service! As always Sydney was wonderful. So glad y’all were able to accommodate our large group again!”

“The cocoa bean made my graduation cake EXACTLY like I asked. I did not want traditional SLU colors because lets face it, they are not girly. I asked for light yellow and light green. They did an amazing job! The cake was the best red velvet cake I have ever had. It was super moist which I have struggled finding with other bakeries. Everyone mentioned how good the cake was. We ate on the cake for days and it never once tasted stale. They also made my cake SO big, which was awesome and a party favorite. They also made me the cutest "She said Yes" cake! Can't wait to order my birthday cake from them soon!?”

“I moved from Metairie to Hammond about two years ago. Me and husband were sad to have no places to get our usual teas. So when this place opened, we were happy. Love this place. Service and food is always on point. They never disappoint!”

“Visited for the first time last night for the podcast event. Wasnt too crowded and there was a man working that did his best to get everyone a chair. The strawberry beer was SO good. We walked across the street and ordered some food. The nachos were seriously some of the best I've ever eaten. Onion rings were fried to perfection. The bartenders and kitchen staff were very friendly and efficient. The music was awesome. Was it a dirty dancing sountrack?!? Whatever it was, my friend and I loved singing along! I drove an hour to get there and will for sure make that trip again in the future.”

“I ordered a pound cake, half plain and half with the pecan praline glaze. It was excellent; the cake was moist, delicious and the glaze was not overly sweet which we loved. Everyone who had a piece commented on how good it was. The owner went above and beyond, customer service is top tier :). Thank you for making a quality, tasty cake for my daughter's bday; she wanted a pound cake and was 100% satisfied.”

“Tried this for the first time Sundays! I had turkey wings, gravy, dressing, yams & greens beans with peach cobbler! It was well seasoned, great portion & it was real soul food! Can’t wait to go back. Great service, very welcoming .”

“Service and food was good good company made it even better”

“decent would I go again i doubt it. priced well but my cupcake was indeed dry, so was my s’mores cookie, the chocolate chip cookie was pretty good was dry but would eat again if offered. wouldn’t go out of my way again drove an hour for the cookies but wouldn’t again maybe if i’m in the neighborhood and seen smth good on the menu. other then that dry and not really what i expected. I may stop by another day with my son tho means he loves anything desert and let him try some it definitely seems like a good place to bring your little ones for a little mommy and me time”
