The lady at the front desk was super nice and made us feel right at home and suggested items that she liked since it was our first time there. We definitely will be going back?

Prices too high. Fish is not worth the money. Will not go back. Do not know where there is a good place to order fish in West Monroe. I usually go to Catfish Cabin is the best if they will don't know how it will be has to be better

Food and the restaurant overall aere great but the experience was not so much. My husband used the men's bathroom and got stuck because the door knob broke in his hand. According to the cashier and kitchen staff the manager was aware of the door needing repair but still had not taken care of the issue. My husband is claustrophobic so we worked fast to unlock the door but after several failed attempts the door ended being ripped open. The cashier and Kim were both helping and a customer who was male kicked the door in. The gentleman who worked in the back helped but stopped. I want to thank Kim , the cashier whose name I didnt get and the male who busted the door in.

Last place I saw my belongings still on the trailer was here at Sam's southern eatery. We had just passed the car that blew up on the highway, engulfed in flames, at the same time, chaos ensued on the other side, as a simi also crashed same place and it was also on Fire. Traffic was stopped on both sides of the highway so we took the exit & tried to go to Sam's Southern Eatery! Well, that location, we were told, was closed for no apparent reason. But they directed us to another location that was open, so we went immediately here to this location. Hubby went into order, I stayed in the car bc our 3 cats were in the back, along with two coolers of Fischer's texas pork & beef. We were also pulling a trailer with containers of personal "non-perishable" items. Like my workout gear, weights, roller blades, brand new sneakers, Fuchsia Pink Teva's, Palates/Alo yoga gear, my brand new motorcycle battery & spark plug. Anyway, it seemed to be taking a long time to get the food, so I got out of the car, checked the trailer, everything was still strapped down. Took a very cool photo of the outside of Sam's & walked inside, hubby had gone to the restroom & got locked inside the bathroom, bc there was no door knob. LMFAO. I don't make these things up this is what really happened. Anyway, the building is falling apart, it's very old as you can see from the photos. Also, not located in the best area of town, as you can see from the photo, this Sam's location is basically under an overpass of the highway. Anyway, we got our food & left as we had the kitties in the car. We started eating the fried shrimp driving down the highway as they were piping hot & super delicious as was the french fries, red beans & dirty rice. Then, someone suddenly drove up on my side in hubby's blind spot, on a bridge, as they missed an exit & they almost side swiped me on my side. Hubby swerved & we barely missed them. My phone went into the floorboard, along with some french fries. We got to a safe location, pulled over & put the cole slaw in the coolers bc we couldn't eat it, as there was way too much mayo in it for our taste. That was the last time I saw my belongings. When we got home later, the trailer was empty. All lost on the highway from hell. The fried Chicken & cole slaw made it home as we put it in the coolers. The Fried chicken was yuge, but it had no flavor, no seasonings. We never ate the cole slaw, it just had way too much mayo so we threw 2 large sides of it away. Would I stop here again? Yeah, sure. The fried shrimp, french fries, red beans & rice were very good. The po'boy, fried chicken & cole slaw were terrible, as was the temporary incarceration of my hubby lol Bad things always happen in 3's. 3 car crashes, 3 good dishes & 3 bad dishes. Just like traveling is a crap shoot, you win some you lose some. Next time, I know to use three straps for the trailer, stay away from the Fried Chicken, cole slaw & po'boy. But next time, I might just have to leave hubby locked in the restroom. (wink wink) Safe Travels.
