“I love did I say LOVE it. Grewat service and the food is amazing. Going for lunch today again“

“I didn’t meet Connie but she knows how to cook! Food & service was great!“

“Look, I'll say it like this. If this place ever shuts down due to lack of business, i will be very upset. They're very willing and patient to answer questions, and this is easily the best fried rice in atleast a 50 mile radius. The honey walnut was excellent. The lady that i assume is the owner recommended apple pie for desert, and man. Its apple pie. Its good apple pie. At the end of the day.. its apple pie. Yall are a great addition to ponchatoula and I'm happy to finally see a clean and delicious place set in this location. (Come on, Bootsy's). I'll be back.“

“Recently I was craving some soul food and I wanted to try collard greens for the first time. And so searched for restaurants in the area and I found this one. I am literally making this review as I eat this gorgeous, beautiful meal. And as I eat this scrumptious Mac and cheese, I question my life. I ordered the create box and I got the fried fish with collard greens and yams. I also got a side order of Mac and cheese and a little corn bread. When I took the first bite, I swear my soul went to a different universe. What is in this delicious food?? I don’t know but it’s amazing.“

“We hosted my daughter’s Sweet 16 at JRucker’s this past weekend. Everyone had a great time! Ms. Olivia handled all the decorations creating a beautiful space. She gave me everything I could have imagined and more. It really was a beautiful party! The staff was professional, paid attention to details, friendly, and fun. Everyone is still talking about how good the food was, especially the shrimp pasta. This is the perfect place to host an event big or small. I highly recommend you check them out. Our night was pure perfection! You won’t be disappointed.“

“One of the best burgers I have had in a while. I tried the black and blue burger and the whiskey tango foxtrot burger. The fries are good and so is the mac and cheese. Service was good. Prices are reasonable considering other places charge more for less. The baked beans are not the best though.“

“I haven’t been in Louisiana in years but as soon as I got off the interstate, I found the nearest Waffle House and saw a familiar face, Ms Tashaw from 190 Waffle House. This beautiful young lady stands out because she is very quiet in a nosey place yet she shines bright with her gorgeous smile, great attitude, excellent service, and positive vibes. She is definitely the waitress you will be very pleased with. Good job Waffle House on retaining quality employees.“

“I had their cheeseburger and fries the other day and it was absolutely delicious, much too much for me to eat at one serving.“

“This place is currently called Railway Cafe, and it's got a very cozy, rather nostalgic vibe to it. The servers are very polite, and the food is worth the price. I ordered the fish po'boy, and it was quite possibly the best po'boy I ever had!“

“The food was good and hot and yummy the best and my waitress was a very polite and kind I would say she was outstanding couldn't ask for better“

“Good service. Good food. One of the better Waffel House eaterys.“

“So me and my girlfriend wanted to have a nice little date together, and she really enjoys Jambalaya. Coming here was perfect. The service was nice, I had accidentally gotten the wrong order and was fixed immediately and still got to keep what was initially given.
The pastalaya is really good, a decent amount of spice but delicious. And just the general sit down area was comfortable!
Definitely planning another date here again.“

“…………………………………………. Thanks.“
