Cajun Restaurants in Longs, SC

“SO!!!!! Can I just tell you!!! My mom and I were supposed to go to Damon’s Rib & Steakhouse for my birthday, as your dinner is complimentary on your birthday. When I got to her house after work, it was clear she really didn’t want to drive all the way over there and the fact that I just drove 25 minutes from the same location somewhat, neither did I. After saying no to a few suggestions, lol I finally agreed on The Big Easy which is right down Hwy 90, 15 minutes from the house. With her being adamant about driving, it was a good decision. ANYHOOOO…. We get there and it is a diner, but not like Double T, it’s small (only five tables and two booths) it’s dated, cluttered and more with a to go sandwich shop feeling than the comfort of a diner. In my mind I was thinking, this is definitely not what I was thinking for dinner…..But I held my tongue because it’s the thought that counts… LET ME TELL YOU!!!!! Don’t judge a book by its cover because literally the BEST red beans & rice I have ever had . And I lived in Nola for three years, working for Dicky Brennan Co, who is considered the restaurant royalty of families in New Orleans. The gumbo was sick and the shrimp and grits were insane!!!! The man behind the counter who was cooking , came over to the table to talk to his and he was from Louisiana and luckily my love for the show Swamp People and Troy Landry is the only reason I understood him . If you haven’t eaten at The Big Easy Diner and you live here, you need to and when you come visit me, believe me when I tell you, I’m taking you.“
