“One of the best buffets anywhere. Crabs, shrimp, frog legs all very good. Crabs were not huge, but they were full. Sushi, Chinese items all good quality for a buffet. Price was very good as well, 100% will return.

Parking: Plenty of room behind plus was able to park truck w/ boat and trailer on the side of the building with easy access back to highway.”

“This place is AMAZING! Seasoning on point with every dish we tried. Their seafood pasta definitely is a must try. When reading reviews we decided to try it since others liked it, and man did it taste great. The food was wonderful, but the hospitality of the owner and her employees was also top tier. Thank you guys for the wonderful meal. Check them out!! Huge portions btw!”

“by far the best smoked brisket boudin! it's a must have”

“I want to start this review with complete honesty — our experience with Ormand Manor began a little rocky. Early on, we faced some communication challenges and were unsure how things would come together. But then everything changed when the venue made some personnel updates and we were introduced to Boyd, our new director. From that moment forward, it was like night and day.

Boyd is, in every sense of the word, phenomenal. Professional, attentive, and genuinely caring, he went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We have worked with a lot of people in our lives, but we've rarely been so impressed by someone’s level of dedication and calm under pressure. He truly bent over backwards for us — every question was answered, every detail was handled, and every small request was met with a smile and a solution.

On our actual wedding day, I didn’t have to look around, worry, or ask what was next — the Ormand Manor team had it all under control. I felt completely at peace knowing everything was being handled with care and precision. And it wasn’t just Boyd; the entire staff operated like a well-oiled machine, ensuring that every part of the day flowed perfectly.

What really stood out was how they handled the weather. It rained right up until about 30 minutes before our ceremony. Most venues would have defaulted to the backup plan, but Boyd and his team jumped into action the moment the skies cleared. They moved chairs, reset everything, and somehow turned our dream of an outdoor wedding into a beautiful reality — all without missing a beat. Watching them work together so quickly and professionally left us absolutely speechless.

From catering to coordination, every single detail was handled with flexibility, kindness, and a genuine desire to make our day special. They didn’t just meet expectations — they far exceeded them.

We will forever be grateful to Boyd, Vickey, and the entire Ormand Manor staff for giving us a wedding day that felt effortless, elegant, and completely unforgettable. What started off uncertain became one of the most beautifully executed days of our lives, all thanks to this incredible team.

If you’re considering Ormand Manor for your wedding — do it. And if you get the pleasure of working with Boyd, know that you’re in the absolute best hands.”

“I do love this place but 😭 randomly getting black olives instead of the usual Kalamata olives in a pick up bowl was… surprising lol. I would have rathered it not been in there. It also seems impossible to get tabbouleh in my bowl. I’ve gotten in maybe once in all of my orders. I’m only leaving 5 stars because I return for the steak. It’s 5 star worthy.”

“Great food and service we love coming here!”

“We had Saturday afternoon lunch and it was great! Our server Rhett was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with us, as first time guests. The Mahi-mahi was fabulous, the catfish was the best we’ve ever had and the onion sticks are superb. To top it off, we tried the Peanut Butter pie and were quite impressed! This restaurant is worth the trip to Des Allemands, LA!”

“Very friendly! The food was AWESOME! THANK YOU!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today at BootTs. Sabrina was our fabulous server. So attentive and very patient. Would definitely recommend coming here. She took good care of us!!”

“Absolutely the best pizza! They make an amazing welcoming atmosphere!! Definitely should eat here!”

“So overall I love the food here. Never had a problem until today (unfortunately today was the wrong day to set me off). There are 2 condiments/toppings I can not stand and will ruin anything I eat because you can’t just wipe it off and that Sour cream and MUSTARD!!!!! I can not figure out how “Mayo, Lettuce and Ketchup ONLY” translates to MUSTARD, Lettuce and Ketchup!!!! The words Mustard and Mayo don’t even begin to sound the same except for the M. And it wasn’t a little mustard. The bun was SOAKED with it. Call them and wanted me to come back in so they could remake it while the rest of my family’s can eat theirs. I’m glad they didn’t put it on my 6yrs olds burger!!!!”

“Best life’s owner Jody makes every customer feel like family! She supports so many great causes in our parish and is always willing to donate to different fundraisers. She only hires the best of the best so no matter if she’s there or just her employees you will get the same service! 💜💜💜”

“Stop and got some breakfast wraps the other day and they were excellent. Thanks”

“We had a large party tonight (around 40) for a friend's birthday and April and the staff handled it like pros. Even though we took over half of the restaurant, the staff was gracious, service was great, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend.”

“Maria was great! Food was good! Split a couple different things. Will be back!”

“My family and I absolutely LOVE Ormond Plantation! Between all of us we have tried almost everything on the menu and have always enjoyed it! Of course we all have our favorites! Mine is Creole Stuffed Eggplant!! The owners, staff, chef, and atmosphere add to the enjoyable dining experience!! I pray they are eventually able to bring back Sunday brunch!!”

“True to their sign, they really are the best bloody Mary's you will find anywhere! Felt a little out of place, like the second we walked in you could hear a pin drop as the small crowd of people inside all stared judgmentaly at us. The bar tender however wasn't rude, but also wasn't very hospitable either. I've been here more than a dozen times on my way down to dularge, and the only thing that keeps me returning are the bloody marys. I just get em then go!”

“Fun place to drink at people are great”

“If you're nearby, especially at the Destrehan Plantation or on the way back to New Orleans from Whitney Plantation, you must stop by and visit Amanda to get a roast beef po'boy! She is so hospitable and the sandwich was just fantastic. She, along with her patrons, are a model for southern hospitality.”

“My discovery of German Coast Beer Company is sort of unique. In 1989 I was introduced to the woman who would become my wife. Months later we started dating and in October of that year she invited me to meet her family at her daddy’s birthday party. One her nephews, Brandon Zeringue, was there. He was seven or eight years old. Two years later he and several other nieces and nephews would be in our wedding. Flash forward to 2024 and Brandon opened this brew pub. So this marriage has worked out really well. Also we have four really good adult children but this isn’t about them. Hear that kids, not everything is about you.”

“The staff was friendly and went out the way to make sure our experience was the best. Me and my wife finally got a chance to go out again from the kids and I’m glad we chose Dickey’s.”

“Stopped by for lunch great place home made tortillas. Pupusas on point. Ever on that side of town definitely stopping by again.”

“The Bartenders are lovely! I come here with my boyfriend, and we both love the bartenders here! My favorite drink is always trying something new, and sometimes I like to mix them together.”

“I ordered the seafood pasta plate (the Friday special) and it was delicious! I will be back to order other items. Happy to support local businesses!”

“Always the best! I recommend the sesame chicken combo lunch or dinner and the shrimp fried rice.”

“We needed a place to eat after visiting the Whitney Plantation nearby. Friendly service. Fair pricing and excellent food. (We had the BBQ chicken with rice and beans).”

“What an amazing find! This is the best breakfast sandwich on a biscuit we’ve ever had in our lives! The coffee is always delicious and the baked items are unbelievable! We no longer live in the area but anytime we visit we go to this café every day! The staff is so sweet and the rotating bakery goods are always a delightful surprise!”
