The food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Ma'Kayla provided excellent customer service and was so sweet. Wonderful experience all the way around and a beautiful view of the lake, too! Definitely recommend
Orlandeaux’s Cajun Restaurant is a hidden gem if you’re craving authentic Cajun flavor. The food is rich, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care, every bite feels like a true taste of Louisiana. The portions are generous, and the menu has a great variety, whether you’re in the mood for something hearty like gumbo or a classic po’boy.

Waited 1.5 hours to be seated. Waited another 15 minutes to be waited on . Waited another 30-45 minutes for food. The scenery is great. The customer service is absolutely unacceptable. Observed some people be seated after us and get their food quicker than we did. I don’t think I’ll be returning. Highly disappointed. Only drink options available was lemonade and water. Order came out incorrect!!

Orlandeaux's Café is a beloved restaurant known for its authentic southern cuisine. Locals recommend it for delicious dishes like gumbo, cornbread, boudin balls, beignets, Stuff shrimp, and shrimp and grits, which are often described as amazing. The café is situated by a lake, providing a lovely view while waiting for a table. Although there might be a wait, as some reviewers mentioned, the atmosphere and food make it worthwhile. One customer noted that they enjoyed the takeout food even when there was an issue with being notified when their table was ready. The restaurant is family-owned and has a long history, with food that remains just as good as it was at the original location. Reviewers praise the fantastic staff, including kind servers and bartenders, and many express their intention to return, even suggesting that newcomers stay on the waitlist. While some noted the need for improvements in parking and flooring, the overall consensus remains that Orlandeaux's Café is a go-to place for amazing food and good down-home Louisiana cooking. The café fills up quickly, so arriving early is recommended to enjoy local specialties in a nice location with views of Cross Lake Bridge.
