“No frills crawfish spot. Pickup and outdoor seating only. All the food was great, had 28lbs between the 3 eating crawfish and the wives and babies had fried and low seasoning boiled items. It was nice that they would prepare the corn separately for my young daughter to avoid the spices.”

“This is my favorite sushi place across all of Louisiana. I've tried a LOT of sushi and nothing really compares to Raw. I have moved from the area and think about it at least once a week 😭. The to-go menu is different from the dine-in experience and I always recommend stopping in at least once to check that out! Make a reservation though as it is a smaller spot.”

“Big shout out to @Ava at Texas Roadhouse tonight. Our Ladies Night Out group from the Ruston church of Christ met tonight there. Ava was our server and she was the best. There were 7 in our group and she never got flustered or made us feel rushed. There was a mix up with a to go order and she and management went beyond expectations. I offered to pay for the mix up and the replacement food. Management still made it right. I didn't want food to go to waste. Thank you Texas Roadhouse and Ava for great food and service. And yes I tipped her well. She deserved it.”

“We threw my mom a surprise 80th birthday party and I ordered and picked up three of the large to go items - I believe it was 36 catfish in each one with fries and hush puppies. I asked for it to be ready at 4pm. I got there at 3:45 & saw that they were cooking & preparing my order. It was ready at exactly 4pm like I asked which was important bc it was for a party. I liked that the food had not been made way ahead of time and just sitting out getting dried out under heat lamps. Every person at the party said it was the best catfish they’d ever had. Wasn’t fishy at all. Wasn’t greasy. Didn’t taste like it was fried old dirty oil either. The staff were very nice. They helped me carry everything out to my car and made sure it was loaded properly. This celebration was a big deal!! We celebrated my mom turning 80! We are so very blessed to have such a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother!! Thank you Flying Burger for providing us with such great food for her party!!”

“I really love the atmosphere of this place, the decor, the merch and the coffee as well. They have a wide range of coffee selections. They don't do things like pour overs and high end speciality coffee but for a place to go on the road or a place to come in and study and relax for a while...It's excellent. The draft lattes I really have enjoyed !”

If you like a well balanced sandwich that leans on the savory/salty/vinegar side...this is it. Pork was braised perfectly and the texture of the toasted focaccia bread provides an excellent contrast.”

“I am not a huge fan of the pizza itself. However the little salad bar they have is great and exactly what you need if you're looking for something healthy because in Ruston there's not a lot of choices for salad bars. The prices for lunch are amazing Pizza buffet with everything for $9.99 and the salad buffet for $6.99 in today's world that's spectacular. The location I went to the employees were very nice and it was just a pleasure in general.”

The warm, crispy waffle bowl paired perfectly with the cold custard and made every bite even better. A fun and tasty birthday treat (even if it’s not your birthday) that I would definitely order again! Staff was very kind and accommodating to my questions to help me decide which custard to pick.”

“Honestly not a bad Subway at all. One of the better run fast food places on campus. There is one employee you can get who is a bit rude, but the others are really great. My only complaint is they run out of meatballs extremely often for the Meatball sub or the thing I like to get the Boss (recently renamed to like the Meatball and Pepperoni or something). Also the drink machine is out of ice 50% of the time. I also wish this location offered the really good Subway Pizza that most locations have but all in all this place is pretty alright.”

“First thing I notice about the oreo pancakes is the quite high price attached to it. At 18$ I do believe it isn't very worth it. The presentation of the oreo pancakes weren't the best. It was smothered in jam and there was barely any oreos on it. The taste of the pancakes themselves was amazing. Soft and fluffy but not dry. It was amazing. The jam was a bit much as it gave it a repetitive taste in every bite, but overall it was enjoyable. Adding the table syrup is something I highly recommend as it balances out some of the flavors, but only a little. Overall I would give the oreo pancakes a 4.3 out of 5. The service was amazing as the food was ready very quickly. There were also these 2 people who were very excited about me ordering the oreo pancakes. Very joyful vibe.”

She was very rude and unprofessional. Asked for owner name. She just basically gave me a fake name. Anytime you need information on a business it should never be a hesitation to give that information.”
