“"Speedy" the bar back/cleaning machine, was frickin' AH-MAZING! From the moment my husband & I walked in & sat at the bar, we observed that he was fast and efficient at cleaning Linda's Lounge's bar patron mess left. He's wiping pool tables, pushing in chairs under tables as soon as customers left, taking out trash quickly, & in a welcoming manner at the same time. I say he should be in HIGH DEMAND around town. Give that man a raise or an awesome bonus!Karaoke had people singing their hearts out. Enjoying every lyric we heard from their song choices.I hadn't been here since I worked here before the change of owners & before both hurricanes. It was great to see the place clean, super organized, & still see the same smiling faces I use to years ago. Bartender immediately asked what we'd like to drink. And checking out was quick. We'll have to come & play pool another time with the new felted tables & sticks!“

“My wife and daughter and I went to Luna's yesterday, as my wife grew up in Lake Charles and said that Luna's was THE local hangout when she was growing up. With good reason, I found out. The restaurant was a delight. The food was amazing (I had a fantastic hamburger and a really good salad), and the atmosphere made me smile (all around us, throwback posters and paintings from 80s music and 90s movies). Plus the wait staff was very friendly. If you're looking for a good restaurant to do dinner with family and friends, this is the place to go.“

“I have been on the hunt for a reliable Indian food restaurant out in our area for quite a while, while my fiancé can handle food with heat, I can’t! It was tricky to find a place that reliably could make tasty and mild dishes until we found Taj Mahal. We try to get dinner here once a week and it’s always fantastic- made just the way we order it heat wise, super tasty, very large portions and great service. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Check out the mild chicken korma if you want to venture into Indian food but are afraid of it being too spicy. Great place!!“

Regular Hot Dog

“9/12/2025: Great spot for a late night bite. They are only open on the weekends. I think they stay open til 3:00 am. They have pizza and hot dogs. The pizzas are huge! We bought 3 pizzas for 5 people and had way too much left over. I don't know what my friend was thinking. The crust is good and the topping were fresh. They have a small space to eat in the restaurant. A little pricey as pizza goes, but everything in a casino is pricey. Supply and demand. I also got a alcohol sundae, which was very tasty. The staff were all nice (they put up with our loudness - oops - sorry, y'all). Sorry for the pizza picture. It was late. There were drinks. I am not responsible after a certain time. :)“

“It's a cool place. We spent the day on the river then took the boat to get some food. The main restaurant wasn't open, only the bar and they don't allow anyone under 21 inside which would have been an issue for us if I would have had my kids with me. The duck bites (appetizer...I forget the actual name) were delicious. We also ordered a chili dog and some nachos, they were just meh. Not something I'd order again. There was a live band that was great, they had them playing during the LSU world series game though 👎 Other than that, it was all a cool atmosphere and I'd go back.“
