Family and I came here for my Dad’s birthday and the whole family loved it. The restaurant still looks the same from when my grandparents took me here when I was little. The catfish plates can’t be beat. The catfish tastes fresh and the closest you’ll get to eating fried fresh fish at someone’s home. My little one loved their hushpuppies and Cajun style fries.

The decor was very dated. The dining room was very dark and had no windows. The hushpuppies were overcooked and dry.

Really amazing food. You won’t leave hungry. Fast service. Great personality. Overall when we come back to the area we will make it a point to stop in. You can’t go wrong going to Jan’s river restaurant

Seems kind of small, overall was great for my friends birthday dinner. They were able to accommodate us with a secluded area so that was great. Mrs. Linda (BARTENDER) ask her for the Lemon drop ? its close to closing so that's probably why everything seemed so rushed but food was on point everything was seasoned to perfection ? ? must try if your in the area.
What happened to this place?! It use to be so good but this visit was such a disappointment. The baked fish had no seasoning, Cole slaw was dry as can be. When we first walked in, what appeared to be a manager, was rude and had a bad attitude. The prices they charge is a disgrace for the quality of food they serve. The only good thing was our sweet waitress. 0/10 Do not recommend!
I have been going to Jan’s for 35 years. The food the last few times I have been was way over cooked and too salty. Not sure what’s going on but something has definitely changed. I think it’s time the place is updated. Painting the place alone would do the place wonders and update the restrooms and it wouldn’t take much to make the place look a little more inviting. It has not changed in 35 years. It’s so dark in there. Spend a little money, time and effort into your business update the place and it would do the place wonders!

I found this restaurant by accident approximately a month or so ago while looking for something on Google maps. I decided to come and try the restaurant out. The food was great, food was hot and the service was fast. Your sides were great, a little different from my experiences in the past with other fish restaurants. (I usually go to Mississippi to a huge fish house named Berry's Seafood owned by one of my friends from my school or I drive to Manchac, LA to Middendorf's. These 2 places are worth the drive, however) The service here was absolutely exceptional. Karen, (definitely not one of the bad ones, LOL) was the best waitress I've encountered in years. She was so welcoming and inviting and really seemed like an actual caring waitress. She was like a breath of fresh air. She should be a treasured employee for this establishment. I hope they definitely take care of her here and never take her for granted. Waitresses like her are the face of your business for restaurants like this and they interact the most with your customers. Take care of her and I will be back.
Stopped going when they stopped all you can eat
