A muffuletta is supposed to have olives. I asked where the olives were and they said there was an olive spread… where??? There was zero. Then when I asked the waitress she had no idea what I was talking about. It just got worse from there. Our queso didn’t come out ahead of our food. When it arrived, what was supposed to be Tasso Queso was just a bowl of melted Velveeta. There was nothing in it. Definitely no Tasso. My husband’s pancakes and chicken strips came with what was obviously microwave frozen pancakes. He asked for syrup three times and when it was brought out, after we were all ready to leave, it was one condiment packet of syrup. His pancakes were cold and tough by that point. He ate them anyway because he’s like that. This was a super disappointing meal. Won’t be back and definitely won’t recommend.

We were entertained by carolers from Northwestern State! Good food (fried okra!), good service, nice view of Cane River Christmas lights.

A Wonderful Central LA Find! This wasn't our first choice, but we are so glad we found Mama's Oyster House! Atmosphere & Service: Great central Louisiana local vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Starters: Tried the grilled gator bites, raw oysters, and mini meat pies. All were delicious and high-quality. Highlights: We sampled the BBQ oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and Catfish Acadiana. Every dish was excellent. MUST-TRY: The Seafood Gumbo was absolutely amazing and the highlight of the meal. Highly recommend! We'll be back soon.

DO NOT EAT HERE! We ordered the oysters charbroiled and they came out sour and stunk so bad! We would have been sick had we ate those! We told them we would not eat those and came to T-JOHNNY'S! Listen to my warning on this place!

The food at mama’s wasn’t good, save your money and go somewhere else. Very disappointed.

Gumbo only had 2 small shrimp and crab cakes were mostly filler and dense

Stopped in at Papas while walking around Natchitoches while staying a couple nights for the Zwolle Tamale Festival. One gal taking care of the entire restaurant on a Friday night, but she was efficient and friendly and stayed on top of everything. Kitchen was turning out food at a good pace as well. Good menu with lots of choices. The fried mushrooms were some of the best we have ever had. We both had grilled chicken sandwiches and the portion was big, cooked perfectly, and also came with fries. Only disappointment was Pepsi products. Wife is a coke-aholic, but they did have some awesome sweet tea that she enjoyed. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Ordered the shrimp fettucine which from the description read made with smoked shrimp. Should have read "WHERE'S the Shrimp. Seriously the piece of shrimp I fished out of the dish was smaller than a DIME. The one tiny slice of soggy bread wasn't even large enough to feed a baby duckling. For a ticket cost of nearly $30.00 for a soda and whatever sorry excuse of noodles with a questionable sauce and almost invisible shrimp I expected More. More taste, definitely more shrimp and something better than flat soda. Definitely has become nothing more than a dingy hangout that encourages excessive day drinking and not dining patronage. Suggestions: Avoid at ALL costs.
Oysters was small an dry too many fries. Way over priced Great service

Papa's is next door to mama's. Papa's is red meat primarily, while mama's deals with the other stuff and the seafood menu. All good food at decent prices. Enjoy the food!!
