10 Best Southern Restaurants near Longs

“Food was great…friendly staff!! Must try…specials are phenomenal with different specials each day!!“

“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.“

“Very small place with big food. I ate food that I had not had in a very long time. I had the buffet, Chitterlings with hog maws, pigfeet, ribs, turkey, beef stew, salad bar, more and ect... There is an option to order off the menu. They also have this fish called spots.

“Best fried scallops anywhere! And I'm from New England.“

“This was a great meal! Very local spot with great, friendly service. We got breakfast sandwiches for lunch. They were made to order and very good. You can tell they care about their quality as the man behind the counter asked if we liked our food. We will definitely be back if we are around!“

“Absolutely love the breakfast buffet. Everything was great. We now come on every vacation!!“

“I always ask for a sandwich without mayonnaise. It’s my least favorite food item in the world. About 75% of the time when I order fast food, I get mayonnaise on it when I ask for none. Nobody listens to my request!It is the opposite here. I have NEVER had mayonnaise on my sandwich. The staff ALWAYS listens to my request, and that means a lot. I’ve wasted a lot of money on mayonnaise-slathered food, and I know I don’t have to worry about that here. Thank y’all for actually listening to customers!!!“

“Consistently good food, good music and great service.“
