Restaurants in Denham Springs

“A+++++”

“The appetizers were awesome! The next time we go we will order from the appetizers and split them. Eggplant parmesan was absolutely amazing! The complimentary bread seasoned with olive oil, herbs and parmesan cheese was the best I have ever had. I was disappointed in the Chicken Marsala. It was bland and lacked the rich flavor of the same dish I have enjoyed at Carrabba's in Baton Rouge. We will give them a 2nd try though.”

“We always have the best service and food! Love this restaurant!!”

“Evan is amazing and definitely a huge asset to Zea’s. We have been maybe 4 times, I’ve never been disappointed with the service here nor the food or drinks. We now request Evan every time for his hospitality, humor, and excellent drink mixing. 🫶🏻 Our friends from Dallas enjoyed the food and service. Y’all were short staffed but he stepped up and did amazing bartending and taking care of your patrons.”

“Purchased two of the 10lb Boiled Crawfish Deals from the menu. Called ahead to reserve, service was friendly and fast, crawfish were BIG, and taste was delicious! Def a 10 out of 10, 5 Star meal!!”

“Great good. Carlie was our waitress and she was the best. Ask for her when you go in. Such a great experience!!”

“awesome place and great service and friendly atmosphere 😀 👍”

“Good times every time! Great bartenders and $.50 pool tables!”

“Best bar in Livingston. Crowd is a good mix and well ran.”

“Los mejores tacos son mis favoritos”

“Great food, great prices and great people! Chris and Kim are the best!”

“It's okay. I'd probably return to get a second opinion. Seated quickly. (Entered after 6pm). Not too busy on a Wednesday evening. Wasn't too fond of my ribeye steak (good seasoning, but tasted more like a sirloin). Another guest in my party ordered sliders, and food arrived cold much later than expected so it was returned. A second guest ordered a mixed drink and it was forgotten but eventually brought on over after a reminder. We still tipped a great rate for the waiter who assisted our table of 3 adults because he was back and forth quite a bit. My recommendation is to have your party of guests to all order something different so all of the foods can be compared.”

“edit to update: i recommend loactions otger than this one.after talking to someone at corporate they acknowledged this manager and her development opportunities needs to be addressed. they did resolve the situation at the corporate level. We went there tonight for my daughters 16th birthday. there were 13 of us and we were fine with the 1 hour wait. There was an older man working there that stayed he could get us set in about 15. when he said something the the female manager about it, she told him NO that she already told us an hour. he was very he was visibly upset as we're supposed to be his table. We waited our time to be sat. the server came and took our order and when they came, she didn't remember who ordered what, (13 person party it happens). refill time on drinks count remember who was drinking what. none of our orders had their potatoes in them. they did bring us a plate of potatoes after we pointed it out. asked for silverware three times , it never came. so I minded my business and when it came time to pay, our drink orders were messed up and on each other's bills. I politely asked for the corporate number, telling her it was nothing against her , just the experience as a whole. she asked me what was wrong with the service. she went to get the manager, at this point I went outside. the manager came to the table very abruptly asked "what's the problem". when the tables explained she stated we got out potatoes. took one of the cash paying people and had the nerve to ask if they wanted their change. no apologies, no offers to do anything to amend any of the mistakes. and that's fine. it was the VERY NASTY demeanor she had when addressing the issues. WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN AND I SHOULDVE WAITED THE HOUR HALF AT SEIGEN. That one is where we usually go and ran way better. I half expect a nasty reply to this. Also they were supposed to give my 16 yr old some beignets, but those never got brought either. easily a $300+ 13top.”

“Excellent service. Friendly staff.”

“Service was great! The food was exceptional. The atmosphere was awesome. My family and I really enjoyed the service.”

“I came in on 8/10/2025. Our server Melissa G needs all the praise and reward! My table never had to ask for anything. She was on top of everything. Attitude, professionalism, definitely top tier! As long as I’ve been going out to eat never had anyone to get everything you need without asking. Will definitely be back at this location more often.”

“I’ve written maybe 3 reviews in my 36 years of life, but my boyfriend just shared a deer burrito he got from Day’s yesterday, and I was compelled to come here and share that it was literally the BEST DEER BURRITO I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. 😍🫶🏼”

As they grow and get established in this community I look forward to many years of PJs drinks and food to be a part of my daily routine!!! Great job Tamboli brothers!!!”

“Do Not Eat Here!!! They charged my card for more money than I signed for! As if the $13.47 for a small queso to go wasn't enough.”

“If you're looking for authentic, this is the spot. Not a local, where im from there is taco stand in every corner and all the types of meats. Arrived and saw their menu. They do not have soft or crunchy tacos. They have real tacos, sopes, gorditas, tortas, & quesabirria! Did not disappoint. When i come back i will definitely stop by again!”

“We celebrated my mom’s 50th work anniversary there this past Saturday. They accommodated a huge party. Everyone received their drink and food orders timely. No mistakes on the bill! The servers were so accommodating, friendly, and go with the flow! I know it is super hard dealing with people shouting out orders at you constantly, but they did amazing!! Shout out to them! The hostesses were super friendly as well. We have no complaints at all!”

“My first time to dine at Cafe Phoenicia was a very good dining experience. The food was all top notch and very tasty. The service was superb. We had a very sweet and helpful waitress. I will definitely recommend Cafe Phoenicia and will eat there again in the future.”

“BESTTTT BURGER AROUND! Finally decided to stop (pass this place twice daily) Just stopped for Happy Hour & ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger combo & a Beef Burrito! This place is A MUST TRY. So flavorful & the portions are where it's at🙌🙌🙌”

“Great food and there's never a long wait!”

“The ONLY reason I gave less than 5 stars is the price. $8 for the smallest smoothie!? Wowzers, that is highway robbery! I do like this location. The staff is always very friendly, the place is spotless, and the smoothies are delicious! Wish they'd run some specials, or offer coupons, or come down on their prices! 😂”

“Honestly, the best authentic Italian food I have eaten. Even better than the well known, very pricy restaurants in BR. So far, Everything I have had has been delicious. My husband and I have started ordering different dishes and sharing just so we can try everything! If you haven’t been there yet, you need to go.”

“Love the chicken Cesar salad but the last couple of times I got it the dressing is different and it’s not good. The chicken is also not as good idk what was changed but it needs to go back to how it was.”

“They are great! Qin was amazing. we will be back”

“This is the absolute best coffee house in the entire world! These sweet coffee angels are the whips and works on the whole experience! Hailey, Ryann, Noelle, and Brendan are the best baristas you could ask for! Always smiling and welcoming, truly makes it feel like a perfect start to any day! We will miss you dearly as we go abroad, but can't wait to return to share our stories with our breakfast club family!”

“That salsa though!!!! Everything was great and large servings. We went home with plenty leftovers.”

“Jade was so awesome, I was confused and Jade took the time to go through each smoothie I had questions about, and was not even mad at me when I picked the original smoothie I wanted! Great customer Service...I will be back!”

“Good daiquiris and a wide selection of cigars”

“I always drove past the place but I finally found the motivation to check it out. I think the pricing is reasonable, the gyro wrap was good seasoning wasn't overpowering, the side salad was fresh and felt homemade.Place feels like a hole in the hole and the people are nice and courteous. I recommend.”

“Moved to the area From Mississippi
For My Husband's work and we spotted this Daiquiri place first time we went in and sat at the bar and got few Daiquiris My Husband always gets different kinds but I'm type person I stick to what I know so I got and always get everytime I go is a Fudgesickle with double shots:))) so first time we checked the place out went inside it was very chilled and relaxed back place the female very pretty and nice drinks was delicious now that I go back at least twice a week they have a drive-thru where you can place your orders most time I get an extra large for the road and a gallon with 2 extra shots I've seen throughout the week they get very busy I've seen they have Karaoke night have I been I haven't they do have table and chairs inside or at the bar with nice black lights and music with TV out side sitting as well and did use the restroom and it was clean I have to say everytime I've been there to the drive-thru it's different females but all very nice and pretty which is good bc I've worked at Gentleman's clubs and I no all to well how females can be rude so that being said it's good to see the lady smiling and being nice

I do believe they should have a pool table I have no clue if they use to have one or got one now and I wasn't aware of it but when I went inside for the first time and last time going indoors I would with my husband and friends go back and go inside "if" they had pool tables

Other then that if you are looking for nice place and good Daiquiris the place should be your choice doll :)))))))”

“I got the steamed shrimp and they were delicious and easy to cook peel . I recommend this hooters .”

“The staff is always friendly and the double line moves you through quickly! BTW, I just learned that every store had a nickname. What's this store's nickname?”

“Fantastic service and great ambiance.

The Sushi was excellent, very fresh and tasty and I'm picky. I also ordered Teriyaki Beef which was absolutely divine. Kudos to the chef all the way around.

I will definitely be back.”

“Yummy yummy in my tummy..”

“Absolutely love this place! My son and I can get the dinner and share it, so much food on one plate! The jambalaya is always perfect, as is everything else. Super clean place, always fantastic customer service! Love coming here because I know I’ll always leave full, happy, and satisfied!”

“Went to James Restaurant in denham springs la. In hopes to get good food. I was saddened because I paid 17 dollars for a 1/2 cup of old red beans that were not cooked and no flavor.They put a small piece of sausage on the top with a 1/3 of rice. I also got a very small portion of nasty cabbage and a small portion of box mashed patatoes. I could have went to longhorn steakhouse and got a nice steak meal for less and a whole lot better food. I can bet the cost of the food I got was about 2 dollars worth!”

“We got one of each kolache and they were so delicous! We had to go back because my kids wanted more!! The chocolate donuts were also super yummy! The owners are such sweet people as well!💜🍩🍩”

“Clean store,nice and helpful workers. I love my Sam’s Club!!!”

“One of my favorite places!”

“I love this tea shop… but I really wish I could tip the girls on my card. They always accommodate and make me a tea even if it’s 3 minutes before close. They also always have a good attitude. I feel like we should have the option to tip!!”

“I booked Mr. Milkshake to come to our back to school bash. As usual, they were a HUGE HIT! They were also a huge hit with me!! The new owners have certainly put their heart into this business and actually CARE about their customers! Same yumminess but awesome customer service! Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with through this event!!”

“Ice cream is good. Paying to have extras rolled into it was never my cup of tea. Other places have a greater selection of flavors and honestly better waffle cones.”

“Best burgers in Baton Rouge … hands down! 💜🍔💜”

“I just want to shout out everything about this location. The food is always consistent and delicious, but the staff is what makes my visit every time I'm there. The entire staff (especially Liz and Ashley ❤️) are absolutely fantastic. No matter how busy they are, they are ALWAYS friendly and efficient. They both really embody what excellent customer service is about. Denham Springs Chick fil A - thanks for always being so great! Keep it up!”

“Tbh, every Starbucks I’ve been to I’ve never really had a bad experience. I might have had like a drink not made quite as good as another Starbucks I’ve been to but that’s the extent of it lol. This Starbucks was pretty good the staff was great and gotta say the drink 🥤 was made just right definitely the way I liked it…. SWEET! 😊”

“Great coffee!! Love the atmosphere”

“Our first time to visit Dairy Queen on Juban. It was a great experience….good staff, good food, clean dining room. We will visit again!”

“Amazing food and fun experience. Highly recommend a visit.”

“Great spot for Mexican food. I has the Asado Tacos. They were great with good flavor. The staff was very nice and food was hot in ready in no time ... if I'm in the are I would definitely stop in again. Not bad prices, either. Although it looks small, they have tables in the back for dinning in.”

“This cuisine is new to me. The staff was wonderfully helpful. The food was delightful. I took a few minutes to explore the store, also a treat. I will most certainly return.”

“Thus particular subway is wonderful the staff are so friendly and patient with your orders but it is a disappointment that the owner won't allow the use of coupons even on the subway app”

“First time we have ordered from here since I worked at the Superstore on Range Ave years ago. We ordered cheeseburger combo and a fried chicken poboy combo with fries and onion rings. The food was delicious and the owner and staff were all so friendly and courteous. We will be back to dine here again.”

“Raising Cane’s never misses. Those chicken fingers are crispy, juicy, and straight-up comforting—like a warm hug with a side of Texas toast. And the sauce? Legendary. I don’t know what’s in it (probably joy), but I’d dip just about anything in it.

But let’s take a moment to appreciate the real star: Cane the dog. That fluffy mascot brings the whole place together. You walk in, see Cane’s friendly face on the wall, and you just know good things are coming. It’s like he’s silently cheering you on: “You got this. Eat that chicken.”

Whether it’s a Caniac Combo or just a quick snack stop, Cane’s always delivers—delicious food, friendly service, and a dog mascot you can trust. 🐶🍗”

“Awesome chicken!! Great service positive vibes in the back kitchen!! Awesome experience as usual”

“The most awesome pizza we have ever had. The price is good and the food is excellent. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely refer them to everyone.

Parking: Plenty of parking”

“Probably the best Waffle House. We have been here several times without being dissatisfied. The service is quick and friendly. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. The only improvement they may need is they need more booths and tables to seat more people.”

“Ordered online with the appWas able to get the footlong BOGO. the staff was very helpful explaining the types of sandwiches. Establishment was very clean. Will visit again.”

“The food is really delicious. For the price, I was expecting small portions. This came out as a double meal for me. I'd definitely go back. The only reason for 3 stars is the wait time. I didn't know what to expect as the communication on that wasn't told to me. But next time, I'd expect it. Thank yall!

Oh and the cookies was fresh and hot. So soft too. Just how I love'em!
Pecan pie ?”

“always a great time and good people”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Starbucks is my reliable dose of caffeine and calm in a cup. Whether I’m rolling in half-asleep or pretending to be productive with my laptop, they’ve got exactly what I need—every time.

The drinks are always consistent (thank you, venti iced deliciousness), the bakery case is full of temptation, and the vibe is just the right mix of cozy and “maybe I’ll finally write that novel.” But the real magic? The baristas. Friendly, fast, and somehow able to decode my overly complicated order with a smile and zero judgment. They’re out here doing the good deeds in green aprons.

Five stars for fueling mornings, softening Mondays, and spelling my name close enough to make me smile. ☕🌟💚”

“Will definitely be a repeat customer”

“Finally a restaurant in Louisiana with authentic Mexican food (YAAY!). Both the food and dessert are wonderful and the staff have all been great. Always super friendly and accommodating to our large family. This is our new go to place. Please don't leave without trying their queso 😆”

“fantastic flavor fantastic service”

“This custard is life-changing good!!! So creamy, delicious, and awesome mix-in options!”

“Just your typical country/biker bar. Going in by myself I didn't feel uneasy at all. Bartender made me a drink she's known for in the bar. Just all around great bar and great people,”

“This is one of my favored Arby's in the area. Loved the food and the timely service for a larger order for multiple people about an hour before their closing time. When they first opened, customer service was 5 star. This last visit was a 4.5. They seemed rushed and under staffed but still a great place to eat. Thanks.”

“Oh my goodness, I ordered medium meatlovers pizza, and it was delicious. Wanted a dessert, so I ordered the cinnamon twist. They were so good the bread was hot, soft, and delicious. It blew me and my son's mind how good they were. They were super nice workers working that day. I placed my order at the window and then parked in the parking lot. The worker brought the food to the car. I really appreciated it. Pizza tastes really good here. I would definitely say ingredients are better than pizza hut.”

“The person attending me was so nice, have and smile. we talk about the T-shirt I was using( Betty Boop). Is great when the employees share anecdotes about a character they like, or how they was when they was kids.”

“Great place staff is awesome and the food is the best.”

“Casual atmosphere and the food was very good”
