50 Best American Restaurants near Port Allen

“The negative: Parking lot was small; had a difficult time getting my truck out after someone parked near me while I was dining. Was also there 5 to 10 minutes before I had the waitress’s attention. The positive: Food was absolutely outstanding. Roux was perfect. Remoulade was close to world class; I’ve had it in 5 star restaurants in Vegas that wasn’t this good. Kind of food you travel a bit to get to. I’ll put up with the negatives if that’s indicative of the rest of their menu.“

“muy rico todo😃Deli,Deli,😉“

“This reminded me and my Aunt and I pulling up in her El Camino back in the early 80's to some of the best burgers ever. You can dine in or order at outside window and wait just a short amount. Bf and I got the Ida Burger Meal and that was 20 oz of burger goodness! Fries were perfect and only catch-up was they had no ice the machine was broke which actually meant we got more fluid.. wasnt an issue. One of the best burgers I have had in a long minute! And the combo was only $10.50. that's like steal! And really good food. Sat outside and enjoyed the breeze thru the way and went back 2 days later for more! It's a must try! Ohhhh so wonderful!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! I recently ordered a custom cake from PoBoy House, and it was beyond stunning! The design was exactly what I envisioned, with every detail perfectly executed. Not only did it look incredible, but it tasted even better—rich, moist, and bursting with flavor. 🍰✨ Christina was so attentive to what I wanted, and they always go above and beyond to create something truly special. If you’re looking for a show-stopping cake that tastes as good as it looks, Poboy House is the place to go. Highly recommend! 👏🎂“

“I tried it for the first time today. Small lobby area but it makes it feel very personal. Philly cheese was delicious,the bread was perfect. The fried mushrooms...... I love them. They are dangerous wish they had a grilled mushroom option like that or boiled like crawfish boil mushrooms. Man thats an idea. The mushrooms are big and worth it. Tbh for 20 dollars I got to much food. The mushrooms were a meal themself.“

“Food/service was outstanding! Party of 12, no problem!“

“LOVE the food and the owners! Everything is always fresh and correct. The owners are super nice and quick to fix everything to your needs! Highly recommended!“

“I had brunch on yesterday with a friend and Christa was our waitress. She was beyond amazing and is very good at her job. Definitely would request her as my waitress again.“

“My first time here at J.Alexander's. So worth the trip from Lafayette. My entire meal has been remarkable. I ordered the red wine blend Parradoxx, which had a slight Pinot Nior flavor to it. I ordered a house salad with Blue Cheese dressing which was rich and full of woodsy flavors. My salad was a big hit with me. Vegetables were crisp and served with beautiful presentation. I ordered the Filet with Berinaise sauce and baked potatoe. It was cooked so perfectly that it was truly a work of art. For dessert I got the chocolate cake. I am not usually a chocolate fan at all but this did not disappoint!! The rich cocoa blended perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. Now for the service... my waiter, Ali, was so good. His knowledge of the menu was very good, but his quiet professionalism was undeniable. He checked all the boxes as to dressings and preparation, but he additionally checked for how and when you wanted everything served. Ali, eyes were constantly scanning to be certain that my meal and needs were being met. Now, I don't know anything about Ali, except that he was young, but he could have been at home in the finest restaurants in Chicago! His attention to detail made my incredible lunch even more spectacular! An incredible meal, prepared exquisitely, with a waiter like Ali! Just absolutely perfect!“

“Double house salad with blackened chicken… Enough said!“

“I throughly enjoyed my salad for lunch. It was fresh and delicious. I loved the atmosphere and service was timely and friendly. I will be back!!“

“This is not exactly my kind of restaurant. Friend recommended it and I eat here every chance I get now. The Korean pork belly sliders are my favorite. The menu was a little overwhelming just because I’m not familiar with the food they provide. But, this is an excellent choice if you are visiting.“

“The chicken and ribs are good, but the corn grits are the 💣“

“Say with Essen great service“

“Mykala is by far one of the funnest servers we've had. She explained the BINGO game the servers were playing for Tini Tuesday and we were more than happy to oblige and play the game. Everyone that comes here should request Mykala as their server.“

“Outstanding in all aspects! We got to town a little late & stopped in just for a lite bite & drinks. The oysters, black and blue tips & wine were so wonderful we returned after business the next night to try more. Round 2 included the Feta Whipped Brussels, Creole French dip & Duck + Butter beans. Again everything was fantastic!! Thank you to Brian, Sadie, Seth & everyone for the wonderful service & evening 🍷🥂😘“

“We arrived at 6:30pm with a table of 8, we had called ahead to reserve an inside table. This restaurant has inside seating & outside covered. Outside is where a small band was playing.
Erin was our waitress & got us waters, drinks, & took our appetizer orders. Brussel sprouts, crab cakes, Creole devils on horseback, & smoked brie - all delicious.
We ordered 3 smoked prime ribs, 1 roasted chicken, 1 steak frites, & 3 ordered the Sea Bass nightly special. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the fish that delayed our dinner, but they did serve everything hot and fresh. And offered us 2 free desserts for being understanding. We left around 9pm.

NOTE - be very careful where you park! One in our group was booted & it's an on demand $200 fine to have it removed, delaying our night even more. The no parking sign was small & facing the wrong way! TRAP!

“The total package-food, drinks, atmosphere and amazing staff.“

“This five-star rating is mainly because of the excellent service I benefited from at the Amazon return counter. The ladies there that day and the lady who assisted me, were professional, polite, pleasant, and patient. In today's world with increasingly demandingly demonstrative people, I applaud the poise and politeness of these ladies who performed their duties proudly.“

“My husband and I have been going to Stabs in Central for many years. We normally go on Sunday for brunch (because of babysitter availability) but we were able to go for dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. When I tell you the flat iron steak we had was 100% PERFECT, I’m not exaggerating. Temp was perfect. Cut was perfect. Flavor was perfect. French onion soup was perfect. Thank you, David, Kori and everyone else who played a hand in our most recent experience. Y’all are amazing!!“

“The lady with the glasses that makes the deserts is an absolute queen I love her. Her deserts are on point every dang time. She is literally mother. Shes so sweet and kind hearted, I wish her nothing but the best. Give that woman a raise !!“

“Unique Cuisine was a hit at my daughter’s rehearsal dinner and wedding. The standard of excellence from the ladies in the office to the chefs and service staff is superior. This company works hard to make its customers happy and it shows in every dish. I am in awe of how they manage to provide large quantities of food with amazing flavors, cooked to perfection, and beautiful to boot. There is no one else I would trust with such an important event in our lives.“

“The food was amazing and the bartender staff very friendly and very attentive.“

“No long waiting, the food was hot on arrival, service was excellent! Staff was awesome!!“

“Been here three times, always treated the friendliest, most professional service people I’ve ever met in a food establishment. Today was a very busy day for them, which made it take a little longer than normal to get our food out, but I was in no rush, nor would I ever complain (being someone who had to deal with a busy day with nonstop customers while working at a shopping center taught me the importance of being patient at any business). The two or three servers who took care of us today were very kind and the food was exceptionally tasty, as it has always been. Thank you! I will definitely be back.“

“The best friendly service! Every time we stop in for a sandwich it’s always fresh and the fries are always hot. Stop in some time and check it out for yourself you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Delicious steaks done exactly as we ordered. Pricey but worth it for the food. Just be sure your are not seated near the serving kitchen because there is a lot of foot traffic and you will see the staff eating and drinking (as they should be allowed to). For some this may be bothersome. For us it meant our server was nearby.“
