The owner is the sweetest & kindest man I've ever met. All of the employees are very friendly & very efficient at their jobs. I just can't say enough good things about this establishment & the people who make you feel so welcome.“

“Long day of fishing out of Sweet Water Marina (Da Crow). Decided to take a recommendation from YouTube personality Outside the Levees and eat Lunch at Dat Kitchen. We walked in and were greeted by Chef Medah with a smile. She gave us a run down of the special and that’s what we got. A seafood stuffed potato with fried catfish fillet topper. Every bite was delicious and the fish was best ever. Made fresh to order. Please give this spot a try when in the area. Here husband and mother-in-law were amazing. Also go before the school crowd let’s out“

“Great food!!! Parked at the truckstop next door and came in for a bite. My wife ordered the special, which was lemon pepper fried fish with pasta and a garlic toast. I ordered the fried fish player. It came with 3 huge tenders and fries. Price is on point with the food. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the gentleman behind the counter. I was only going to order to go but the place was extremely clean and just had to sit down and eat. Restrooms were clean to the max with a hit of clean smell. The place was spotless. Food was grilled behind the counter and made fresh. Flavor was on point crispy fish on both plates. Hot and not oily at all. They definitely put attention to everything they do and will be a customer evrytime I'm in the area. Can't wait to try the beans next and a poboy, maybe a burger too while I'm at it. My wife's dish was the past and she said the pasta had shrimp and crayfish too.“

“I remember before Katrina when this was the cake place. Now it’s this really cute cafe with colorful decorations and really friendly staff. The brunch we had was delicious: artichoke cakes and spinach and fried oysters - it was soooo good! I miss seeing the cat in the bookstore though - please bring it back!“

“What a find! We found MeMe's in an article about places where the locals like to eat and the visit was fantastic. We ate the most tender and tasty pork chop ever. The watermelon margarita was perfection, not too sweet and with a sweet/spicy rim. The BBQ shrimp and grits were terrific, beautifully flavored. To finish the meal we had the frozen coconut caramel pie and loved every bite. Service was excellent from the greeting at the door to bringing the exact sauces to go with the exceptional chargrilled oysters (yes, we discussed actually licking the plate) to keeping the water glasses filled. We even got to chat with the chef/owner and learned some of his history and passion for food and the area. Our experience was absolutely wonderful!“

“Table of 16 came in, all separate checks, one waitress on the floor. Service was understandably slow but far better than service I’ve had elsewhere when it’s nowhere near busy. Very friendly, upbeat, food was hot fresh and delicious. I enjoyed myself.“

“The service was great, the employees were kind and helpful. The brisket was really delicious, also the cole slaw and potato salad. Its a new fav place in da parish.Our server was Adriana and she was awesome.Vegetarian options: Cole slaw and potato salad were good. Fries were okay but nothing special. I hope they get their brocoli salad and caesar salad in the future.Kid-friendliness: Our server said Sundays kids eat free for every …. I think she said $12 spent????“

“The service was excellent. The atmosphere is kind of boring. The fake bacon bits in the salad are not what I expected. The baked potato was done well. I had the chicken breast which was good. I did like the little bit of topping sauce for the chicken on the side. The garlic bread was good too.“

“I'm sitting here RN! That's just how good it was?We have 6 tenders with mango habanero sauce, Buffalo 2, blue cheese, fries, & red beans. Our bill was priced right, low, & reasonable. WE'LL BE BACK!Kid-friendliness: I'd feel comfortable bringing my grandkids here. There's a few games for the kids so u can eat & watch them play.“
