Each bite was fresh and flavorful, and the walnuts added the perfect crunch. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a dish worth coming back for!“

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.

“It was our 1st time here - I searched & checked reviews of a few places this am we’d like to do Brunch style but something a lil different so I chose Blackened Brew - event though there’s a few things we didn’t agree with we had an o tall good experience - 1st Layla our server was awesome sauce & very attentive - we were initially seated indoors we asked to go outdoors b/c the scenery is what drew me to them when I was checking the place out . The outdoor patio is simply amazing , relaxing & if you can’t tell by my pics & videos I LOVE turtles 🐢 - it was like they felt the vibrations & started swimming out way - love 💕 it . I ordered the Steak & Eggs (steak Med - Well & Eggs Over Medium) I’m not a big fan of cheese grits but I went ahead with the order & im glad I did - they were delicious - my husband ordered the pancakes 🥞 & photos attached as well - they were super thick & he likes his pancakes browned & cooked all the way through - it’s kind of hard when they are that thick & we understand that but he couldn’t eat them . Everything else was good - The 3 ⭐️ for the Food rating is due to the pancakes 🥞 & as the picture reflects there was still uncooked batter coming from the pancakes - it won’t discourage us from returning & hoping Layla will still be there . Sitting outside was amazing & they even offered & provided some turtle 🐢 feed which really made my husbands morning lol 😂 Kuddos to Layla for her prompt service & great personality - Happy Easter 🐰“

She ensured that he had the best experience—even blew the bus horn and gave him an ice cream for being so good! More restaurants should be this accommodating with stress-free & environments for families with young kids. We’ll for sure be back!“

My significant other had the cowboy steak, and I had their southwest egg rolls. They cooked his to perfection he says, it was medium, medium just as he requested. 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.“
