“Could not have been more pleased. Visited twice this week while camping at Tickfaw State Park. Everything was exceptionally good. Chef and staff are tops. Loved everything and prices and portions are more than fair. Hope to go back soon.“

“If I could give a 10 star rating, I would! The other day was my best friend's birthday. She & her significant other were having a late lunch at Cate Street Seafood Station, as that is one of her favorite spots. I live in Orlando, FL and couldn't be there. I called the restaurant and Silas answered. I told him I wanted to surprise my friend and send her a special dessert for her big day. He instantly seemed excited to help and was so kind. I described my friend to him and he said, I will look for her. He took my number so he could call me back for credit card info, once she chose her birthday dessert. He found her quick. Suddenly, I received a text from my friend who was so tickled. Once he served her dessert "Happy Endings," (he also included a candle), he then called me back and we took care of business. I wanted to add gratuity for his sweet hospitality, but he refused. I was speechless. He took no credit or reward. Quintessential hospitality! My friend called me later and said that made her day. Thank you, Silas, for helping create such a joyful moment for my beautiful friend. I hope I'll get there one day to meet you.“

“Everything was great we really enjoy it waitress was so polite.“

“This is probably only my 6th time eating here, but I really wanted to take a minute to give this place some praise. Since they don’t have a comment/survey option, a (public) google review will suffice and perhaps help to bring more people to other door. I do hope this business finds great success as I believe it is well-deserved. I am beyond impressed with a fast food chain for “Louisiana” food that can actually produce really delicious versions of my down-home favorites. Although dining out (even fast food) is a bit out of my budget most of the time these days, I do find them to be reasonably priced. Additionally, the staff at my Hammond location has also been so very courteous and friendly every time. And, they really are FAST food, but it is real food, real beef, real fish, and shrimp and sausage, actual quality ingredients, not just processed mush shaped to pretend to be real food. So far, I’ve tried and can recommend their fried catfish, French fries, hush puppies, homemade onion rings, hot roast beef poboy, red beans and rice, and their gumbo. Each of these items could stand head to head with my other local eateries’ versions, but what is extra surprising is that they have pulled this off in a drive thru chain restaurant format. Kudos to the founders and kudos to your Hammond staff! Thanks for the yum!

Dietary restrictions: As much as I’m impressed with this place, since google asked, their dishes can be too salty for my very salt-sensitive (& medically restricted) father’s palette. However, I do not share that opinion.
Also, in case you’re not from Louisiana and reading this review, I generally don’t think of Louisiana food as being super friendly to dietary restrictions, but I haven’t reviewed this establishment’s menu options with this question in mind.

Parking: Typical fast food drive thru parking here with the row of parking spots around the building in a rectangle lot.“

“Annette’s is a good breakfast joint. The food is delicious and the prices are unbeatable! Thank you to the two ladies who helped clean around mine and the kids’ table- we had an accident. The customer service is appreciated! The ladies welcomed every customer in with warm hearts and smiles on their faces. Thank you!“

“Went to Portside tonight and everything was great! You must try the deep fried corn. It was spot on! The fried shrimp platter was awesome also. Everything was hot and fresh and the service was great!“

“Man im not gonna lie they chicken madd good respectfully. People are lying talking about it being nasty.“

“PICKY EATER ALERT! so we ordered the shrimp/snow crab bag( came with corn, potato, sausage, boiled egg) and ordered it with sauces mixed. (Cajun, garlic butter,lemon pepper) OMG SOOOOOOOO GOOD. well seasoned, hot and prepared exactly the way I ordered. Hubby got the shrimp/fish basket, came with fries. crispy fries seasoned. fish and shrimp flavorful, hot and a good quantity. Clean restaurant ✔ friendly employees ✔ great food ✔ = returning customers!“

“Our first trip there. The food was delicious. I had fried catfish with fried rice. It was cooked perfectly. My sister had fried shrimp with sweet potato fries. Again cooked to perfection. Whitney was our server. She was so attentive. We wanted oysters, but they were out until later today. The have fresh shucked oyster's. We definitely will get them next trip. The owner Miss Sara came an talked to us about our experience. They all made us feel like we were important to them. Some places make you feel like a bother. Not here. The price for the amount of food was incredible too. Can't wait till next time. Thank y'all so much.“

“Best crawfish on the Northshore from the best people in the south!!!“

“Lots of good food and great service. Very friendly atmosphere. Would recommend for southern hospitality.“

“If you are wondering if you should ever check this place out, ask yourself these three questions.
1. Do you like potatoes and/or poboys?
2. Do you like being hungry?
3. Do you like affordability?

If you answered yes to #1 great they have so many great and unique options to choose from! If you answered no to #2, that's great because this place will leave you Stuffed! for sure after your done. The experience made me a couch potato! Haha. The best part is if you answered yes to #3, then you gotta check them out! For everything you get, you will still have enough left over to get some dessert. So grab your keys and start heading their way!“

“Great food, good portion size, nice salad bar, good service“

“Jeanie’s restaurant feels like a warm hug every time we go. It perfectly embodies southern hospitality and delicious soul food. I’m pregnant and had a craving for shrimp and grits yesterday, and even though it’s not on their menu, they didn’t hesitate to offer to make it for me. It turned out to be AMAZING like everything else on their menu. My family and I love Jeanie’s, and we highly recommend it to everyone.“

“This is our favorite local restaurant! As a patron with food allergies, they are happy to accommodate and knowledgeable about cross contamination.“

“Amazing food! Owners and staff were amazing as well! Highly recommend!“

“The absolute best restaurant around with the most delicious food and wonderful service! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. From the pasta dishes to the pizza to the complimentary dessert that we were so sweetly blessed with today(cheesecake and a lemon cake), everything is exceptional! We are always satisfied when we leave and can't wait until the next time we return. Today's experience was nothing short of amazing! This place is a gem for sure!“

“We are forever customers! Not only is the food amazing and the staff top notch, East of Italy goes out of their way to accommodate guest. We wanted to book a party and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Our son’s celebration was everything and more. We haven’t had a meal we didn’t like. The food is always fresh and ANY type of bread from here is heaven sent! I“

“Our family purchased food from here this weekend and it was really good. I highly recommend using gloves when peeling crawfish/crabs from here. All of our hands were BURNING and the only thing that helped was burn cream. I eat crawfish often and this has never happened before.“

“Maddie was great, bottomless mimosas on Sundays, and water (with ice) for the doggo on the patio, couldn’t ask for a better Sunday with the great atmosphere and great food!“

“The food is subpar, especially for Hammond.“

““Great food,great service,great people!! Definitely a “come back to” restaurant!!”“

“(For The Railway Cafe) Huge proportions. Super friendly staff. If eating there on a Friday night I would recommend calling ahead be they can get busy. Otherwise, it typically took me about 10/15 minutes to get my food during the week. Good people.“

“Only place around that has 93 octane NON-ETHANOL fuel...I've confirmed this to be 100% pure gas as per my ethanol sensor readings always show 0% when filling here, this makes it ideal for filling up your classic vehicles, motorcycles, getting mower gas, and boats. Recently it appears the owners have sold to someone else, I'll have to recheck my readings to make sure it's still ethanol free. I harp on this hard because one station sold me "NON-ETHANOL" that wasn't non, and it destroyed 4 fuel systems on some of my vehicles.“
