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.

“Was driving by this place today, have driven by it a thousand times. Smelled the smoke coming from a wood fired pit. The smell hit me because I’ve been doing KY style hickory smoked BBQ competitions for decades. Not many people use real wood to cook anymore. Decided to stop and give it a try. Ordered the 12 ounce Ribeye, and fries. Was NOT disappointed. If you’re looking for a good steak and extremely large portions on a Thursday night for a fair price, don’t pass this place up. Wife got the loaded baked potato and said it was one of the best ones she’s ever had. Again, portions weee huge. Owner came and talked to everyone in the place. Nice guy. Nice place, and great food. Family laid back atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. 10/10.“

“Get the wings! The menu has something for everyone!“

“We had a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and our waitress was attentive throughout the meal.

We started with the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer, which was excellent. My husband ordered the smash burgers with truffle fries and thoroughly enjoyed his meal. I chose the Black and Blue burger with truffle fries. While my burger was cooked a bit more rare than I personally prefer, the owner proactively addressed the issue and made it right, even though we had not requested any accommodation.

Overall, we were very pleased with the service, food, and customer care, and we would gladly return.“

Mine were so good, I can’t wait to go back! There is a bar area that you can also eat in. Nicely decorated in the dining area.“

“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.“

“The food was ok and the atmosphere seem basic but what stood out was the customer service, I had a young gentleman man named Brenden
was very friendly and helpful. Helped us navigate the menu efficiently and got all of our food asap. He definitely deserves a raise or something because he raised the standard a whole lot!! Anyways recommend eating here!!“
