14 Best American Restaurants near New Roads

“There is not one negative thing that I can say about this place. The restaurant is absolutely adorable. When you walk in, you instantaneously have a smile on your face. The menu is displayed in such a chic , creative way. The menu is full and amazing. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The prices still blow me away. You can not go anywhere that I know of and get the amount of food for the price as you can here. The employees are so kind and personable. I am addicted to their lemonade, and their bengiets , in my opinion, are better than Cafe Du Monde. Keep up the amazing job, Redstraw.“

“I have over 30 years of patronizing this business and I will continue to as long as they're open for business. I love the food, I've had several items from the menu and have always been satisfied. They serve a homemade burger called the Bengal Burger and it is SO GOOD, all of the food is ❤️ Phone orders taken, grest customer service and a comfortable dine-in are available. Highly recommended!“

“food is oustanding and plenty of it!“

“Love big boys. Fried chicken the best. Great fast food.“

“Visited this amazing little hideaway yesterday while in the area touring plantations... The cafe is awesome, haven't been told in quite a while, sit where you want ❣️ They have indoor and screened patio seating, and an adorable garden outside of the patio... Service was amazing and the food was as amazing, home cooked delicious... Thank Y'all for an Amazing experience 🤜🤛 You Rock😊“

“They had a special menu advertised for Mother's Day. However, for such a special occasion, they did not plan for staff/server absences. Many tables were not being used on the patio area, because they were short of servers. This was poor planning. To take your Mother or anyone for such an occasion and endure a 3+ hour wait is unacceptable.“

“The best food around town!!“

“We enjoyed our Anniversary dinner. The bread pudding and raspberry sorbet excellent. Great food, atmosphere, drinks. Night recommend!“

“Went and got the Jungle Burger today I must say one of the best burgers I’ve eaten! Great flavor and size ! Will definitely be back again recommend to everyone!!!“

“If you want the best burger on False River, go to Jim's. The hot sausage po-boy is another favorite. Don't miss the amazing sunsets and a cold beer!“

“The Island Landing has the BEST fried shrimp that I have ever eaten, and I have dined nation wide. Louisiana gulf shrimp are the best, so let's narrow it down to the state; trust me when I tell you that you won't experience better fried shrimp anywhere. It's not a fancy place, however the service was prompt, polite and friendly. If you ever find yourself in False River, don't miss the opportunity to experience the best fried shrimp on Earth!“

“It was like taking a step back in time. I am confident that I was at Buche's 55 summers ago enjoying a burger and fries and I was there today without Rod Serling in Twilight Zone enjoying the same. The floors, walls and ceiling are still the same. Same pictures are hanging depicting a simpler time. Mrs. Buche wasn't tending bar or flipping burgers and Mr.Willie was not in his rocker in the corner behind the bar, but I nodded hello anyway. It was a great deal then and the food is still a bargain - comparing quality and quantity versus price. The visit brought back old memories of good times and good friends.“

“Great place to hang out, great view, volleyball net and sand court. Nice floating dock for accessing from water and docking boat. Or using boat ramp.

Boat launch is a pay to use ramp. I think it’s $5. But worth it. If I’m going to south side of lake I use this ramp, if going to north side of the lake, I use the ramp in town. It’s worth the $5 to use the ramp, especially with the floating dock. It’s very nice to use. Also they have non ethanol premium 93 octane fuel on the water. Which is definitely the best thing to use in your boat. Definitely worth checking out this place.

Parking: Parking for tow vehicle with boat trailer. Costs to use boat ramp but worth it, since they have a nice floating dock to use for parking to visit from water or simply to use boat ramp.“
