It has went downhill recently. The food is not good here at all. Service is great but food is not worth the prices they charge

I had the ultimate chicken sandwich. It was yummy. The bread was soft and sweet.
The flourless chocolate cake is amazing!! If you are a chocolate lover, I would highly recommend this dessert!!

Catfish was not Krispy. Onion rings were overcooked. Rolls were delicious.

There’s a good chance that they’ll give you a fork with food on it still.

My very good friend and I patronized this seafood restaurant on thanksgiving day for the very 1st time. Our server is AyLee. Pretty name for a pretty girl.
I'm pretty sure I ordered the Atachafalaya (topped with crawfish etoufee) dish with fish of the day. AyLee said FOTD is mahimahi. My meal came. No crawfish etoufee on the fish🫤, but at least there was whole lump crab. So I didn't complain. See photo. However, on the receipt it reads talipia, and not Mahi mahi, Hmmm🤔
Oh, and I didn't get the brand name of the blush wine I had. Assuming it was Sutter home, lol. But the rolls were hot and buttery. And my good friend really enjoyed the au jus. We will be back!!!

Jaide was our waiter. She was amazing, exceptional service. The food and atmosphere was also amazing.
We visit Lufkin from time to time. We always make it a point to eat at Ralph and Kacoo's. The dishes are fantastic. The rolls and butter served are delicious. Do NOT miss out on the bread pudding.
I remember going to Ralph and Kacoo's in New Orleans over 20yrs ago and when I saw this location in Lufkins it brought back memories on how good the food was. I remember the waitress telling us to put sine butter on hushpuppies, I was like who does that, but it was great and the food was great. This location is not New Orleans and clearly things have changed. First of all Ashley was great, she was attentive and kept asking us if we needed anything. Second of all the food was not good at all...AT ALL...We had to ask and clarify if this was real catfish, because the menu said it was catfish and it is not, it is Swai, with catfish prices. The manager said they have to go unthaw the catfish and it's going to take a bit to get our food. Now if you are a catfish eater, you know what catfish taste like. Even when we waited for the catfish it didn't taste like catfish. The food was unseasonably, no flavor at all and to spend almost $80 on three entrees I was very disappointed. I ordered the Catfish Coodrie, it was supposed to be a blackened, grilled and fried piece of catfish topped with crawfish etouffee over white rice. The fried piece tasted like long john silver and the blackened and grill look like they barely touched the grill again no flavor and the rice was unflavored borderline crunchy and the etouffee unflavored and unsalted. (see pictures). Even with my brothers seafood platter, he said it wasn't catfish..My mother liked her stacked pork chops with the orka, the onion rings, the rolls were good, and the hushpuppies were greasy, but I don't think I can recommend this restaurant to anyone. You have to go for yourself and do your own review. If you are not going to sell real catfish, put fried fish on your menu so it won't be false advertisement!

The food has taken a huge nosedive the past couple years. The last time my husband and I visited the Lufkin location on November 24th 2024 we were overcharged by the server writing in a 20 dollar tip when we had tipped her 20 cash because we don't believe they should have to claim their tips. This server took it up on herself to be greedy and get a 40 dollar tip from a 109 bill. Smdh. Then, call the manager when I noticed it on my bank statement, to get laughed at and told that the server most definitely did not write in her own tip and then proceeded to tell me that she refunded the 20 on the 25th. My bank statement says otherwise. It's not about the 20 dollars, it's the principle behind it and that the manager was covering for the theft being taken place. Be careful of your bill and amount posted to your account, they most likely won't match!!

This is probably the best R&K location I have been to. Very comfortable and welcoming and the food is really top tier.
