“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!”

“This adorable Cafe and bakery, on the edge of downtown, have delicious croissants, muffins, cakes, and hand pies. We order some pastries for the road and picked up my wife's bday cake.
Great service.”

“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.”

“The brisket is tender and amazing!!”

It’s also family owned and family friendly.

For those out of town looking for a fresh experience in seafood dining. The trip to Amite would be well worth the effort.”

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

“Great food. Very friendly service”

“I’m posting 5 stars simply so I don’t hurt their rating. But sadly I’ve been quite disappointed lately. I usually order a brown sugar boba with tapioca pearls… what I think is a pretty common drink. And I’m only able to order it maybe 1 out of every 5 times I’ve entered in the last year. I’ve tried at different times of the day and different days of the week. I can’t seem to crack the code. It’s gotten to where when I walk in, one of the ladies that works there just straight up says they’re out. She already knows. I’ll keep trying but sadly I don’t stop in as often anymore simply because it’s usually a waste of time. They’re going to be out. Super friendly staff and great owner though. Just poor inventory management? I don’t know.”

“This is a great spot for lunch or dinner. Plenty of space and free games for the kids to play. Great burgers, sandwiches, wings, and salads. Enjoy great beer from Gnarly Barley.”

“Quick Drive Thru. Nice guys at the window. For two undecided girls preparing for a girl party these guys were great in assisting us. The charm and smiles were much needed. Thanks guys. Prices were fair. Overall rating is 4.4 out of 5. Good job. Keep spirit up for better morale even when undecided customers take a little extra time making up there mind with so many wonderful options. Suggestion, if unsure customer approaches, try giving a sample to help with their choices. Especially if two gallons are requested. *Tipping depends on services rendered*”

“We came with a large group, and everything was excellent. The food and drinks were delicious and came out quickly. Any small issues were taken care of right away. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and even shared some laughs with us, which made the experience even better. Great place for both the food and the atmosphere—I highly recommend it!”

“This was our first visit here to Annette’s - we’ve been hearing about it & decided to go in see what it’s all about !
Well, as we entered we were greeted & welcomed .. the staff was very nice .

Placed our order & believe me when I say “They did NOT disappoint” my husband ordered the pancake & eggs - all was perfect ✅ I ordered the Annette’s Breakfast special & guess what it’s WAS PERFECT ✅ eggs over medium - came out just right the first time 🙌🏽 now let me tell you about the prices - The quality of the food 💯 The prices are superb , for the amount of food you get & the quality this place has to have the BEST prices I’ve ever seen & breakfast . I’ve been to a lot of places ! My breakfast was #7 on the menu $6.25 unbelievable ! I pray everyone supports local small businesses like this one .

“I've ordered pizza here twice now trying to give them a second chance. Both times we order 2 XL pizzas loaded. This is some of the worst pizza I've ever ate, to the point my family would rather pizza hut and we all know that ain't good pizza.. The crust was tuff like eating cardboard, the toppings were scares and we asked for not sweet sauce and they failed”

“We love karaoke on Fridays. It’s a great place to pass a good time. Owner is a kind, friendly an always accommodating. Did I mention best daiquiris and drinks?”

“Much more than you would expect I know this isn't exactly a review like I normally write but there's only so much I can write about this place without you actually having an experience it”
