“Wil & Evelyn (the Warden) Vielman serve the best fair food I have ever tasted; in fact, it is restaurant-quality food. In addition to traditional cajun favorites like gumbo, they offer alligator sausage on a stick and 2 delicious shrimp dishes--cajun shrimp boat and (my favorite) bacon-wrapped shrimp. Each dish is made fresh when ordered and from high-quality ingredients. Six huge shrimp are served with a choice of dipping sauce, from mildly tangy to cajun spicy, and accompanied by a generous portion of freshly made french fries. The shrimp boat contains 12 big, peeled (no tails to deal with), deep-fried shrimp on a bed of golden French fries, ketchup, & a tangy creole sauce. They serve an outstanding lemonade made with lemon, lime, orange slices and blueberries and cherries. Each meal is very filling, and very affordably priced--especially when compared with other fair food. The couple travel to fairs and festivals all over the country to serve their superb dishes to the crowds. Evelyn also informed me she makes a dish composed of layers of sliced eggplant, cheese, and spaghetti sauce that has customers lined up for quite a distance. Service is well organized, prompt, & cheerful. Evelyn and Wil assured me they will back next year for the annual Troy (PA) [which serves as the Bradford County Fair].. I plan to among the first in line for their scrumptious meals. Ralph Morgan...“
“Nestled in the heart of Mandeville, Nan's Cafe offers a culinary journey that transports you straight to a Sicilian kitchen. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Spaghetti and Meatballs - a dish so authentically delightful, it's as if Nonna herself was in the kitchen. Each meatball is a tender, flavorful morsel, perfectly seasoned and cooked to juicy perfection. The spaghetti, coated in a rich, savory tomato sauce, provides the ideal backdrop for these succulent spheres of delight. But the journey doesn't end there. The side dish of Sweet Potato Fries is a revelation in itself. These crispy, golden strips of sweet potato are the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a light seasoning that accentuates their natural flavor. Nan's Cafe, with its warm ambiance and friendly service, makes every meal feel like a special occasion. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a visit to Nan's is a must for anyone seeking a taste of true Sicilian fare with a twist of Cajun. The Spaghetti and Meatballs, paired with the Sweet Potato Fries, is a combination that will leave your palate euphoric. It's not just food; it's a tasty experience - one that you'll want to relive again and again.“
“Hands down the best seafood restaurant on the Northshore! The portions are huge, so go hungry. For years, they continue to be consistently amazing with their food they serve. We cook a lot and are hard to please dining out. Never disappointed here. Planning to go for dinner tomorrow!“
“Update: Just went today to get crawfish, gumbo and boudin balls. The crawfish were so good and well seasoned!!! I hesitate to go today because for the past 3 years, they have not been spicy at all. So I couldn't have been happier today with how spicy they were. They are always clean crawfish, decent sized and today, they were some of the best I've ever eaten!The boudin balls were very delicious. They were kind of like chicken fried, which made them so good. I picked up a quart of gumbo in the market as well... I was super pleased with everything todayGood reliable food!“
“I hope everyone is seeing this post! "MaryLand Blue Crab" has the BEST PRICES & THE BEST TASTING CRAWFISH"!! OMG, everything seasoned just right. Plz, go and see Mr. Darren & Ms. Linda. The restaurant is nice and clean.Blessings Always,Mr. & Mrs. J.“
“Don's food is usually delicious! There is only one thing, it seems to have a spicy taste,fried or grilled. I would love to suggest a choice of a little milder version on the menus. A choice of regular or slightly mild. Not completely mild just slightly. For people with stomach issues who love seafood! Also for the little ones.The atmosphere is great for children or adults. They have a sports bar to the left of the tables perfect for singles who want good food drinks and a great atmosphere.They even have outside seating.The prices are reasonable and the etouffee is delicious! Highly recommend. The waitress staff is very attentive to your needs. In all the many times we have eaten here we only had one experience where the waitress was not good at all. You don't stop and drop food and rush off without asking.... is there anything else I can get for you? No cocktail or tartar sauce was given, we had to get up and find someone to get it also extra napkins. Sad one bad apple. Do I recommend Don's DEFINITELY!!!One thing I forgot to mention, I believe it's the dinner room supervisor, it's the one in the tight short skirt. Please wear a size bigger, you can see your underwear lines and your tummy is poking out. A slight bend reveals everything . It looks tacky for a family restaurant. Just a size bigger would look fabulous on her. I love short skirts but you can tell it's way too small. She does a fantastic job of making sure everything runs smoothly in the dinning room and works really hard her work ethics is above and beyond!Thank you for the wonderful food and the great people who work here.Parking: Plenty of parking spaces so don't worry about that.Kid-friendliness: Definitely even a kids menu and high chairsWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking outside and tables to accommodate w/c.“
“Excellent food reminds me of where my mama worked @ Manales for 58 years as waitress. Thier Italian food reminds me of growing up . Would highly recommend but make reservations!!!! Much love for wonderful salad dressings and sauces in groceries!! But nothing compares to going out to eat at Sal & Judy's“
“Consistently great food and service; always clean, and they recently refreshed the interior so it's looking even better. This restaurant is a popular choice, so at peak times there's usually a wait for a table, but it's so worth it! I highly recommend the Voodoo Crawfish Rolls appetizer.“
“Chef does a fantastic job! Party of 6, everything was excellent! My son had pompano and raved, his wife had bacon wrapped shrimp which were excellent, I had quail, excellent, my wife had a eggplant dish also excellent and my father had softball crab all great!“
“Tasty Delights offers exceptional hospitality and genuine flavors that truly capture the essence of Louisiana. From delicious fare to home-cooked meals, their wonderful service ensures every visit is a must-try experience. With authentic Cajun cuisine and real Cajun food, Tasty Delights delivers a taste of Louisiana that's simply unmatched.“
“All the atmosphere and flavor of old New Orleans minus the crime and outrageous parking. In recent months this place has become our regular go to spot for oysters, raw and awesome char. Redfish dishes are unbeatable and give the fried green tomato/crab cake appetizer a try. You won't be sorry. Amy and Chase insure you are being treated the way it use to be dining out. Server Izzy is sweet and attentive. Hallie keeps you smiling with her cajun accent and down to earth attitude.This place is a must stop when passing through Covinton on I-12. If you are local and haven't tried it yet you are missing out on a real treat.Parking: Plenty of room to park safely especially for those who hate door dings and scratches.“
“Very nice staff and a clean good-looking restaurant. Quick and affordable with nice portions. The jambalaya was good but not great, and the pastalaya came out greasy. What's with spaghetti noodles for that? White beans were fantastic, chicken stew was great, but the worst macaroni and cheese I've ever had in a restaurant. Surely must have been an off day, it couldn't stay that bad.“
“I don't normally recommend a place unless I really like it. I live in California, but visit family in this area as much as I can. I love authentic Louisiana flavor, and I make it a point to stop here on my trips.I find the staff is helpful and friendly in making recommendations and being patient. I must say I typically buy the same stuff every time I'm here; spicy jack boudin balls, smoked boudin sausage, and pork cracklins (they have chicken cracklins too). The flavors score a 10 out of 10.I froze the boudin sausage for my flight home, and it warmed up in an air fryer just fine.Definitely recommend as a legit Cajun meat vendor and also to stop by for a hearty meal.It's so sad I live so far away.“
“Honestly, despite the awful posts that are out there, we had a WONDERFUL experience at Copelands of Covington last night! It was a Friday night, and we sat on the patio to listen to the live music while we dined. It was a beautiful atmosphere and our food and waitress, Megan was phenomenal! Seriously!! Service (at least by Megan) was timely, accommodating, and delightful. Food was served hot, well timed, and tasted really good! Literally ZERO complaints! Def a must try, especially on the patio if there's also live music. (Ok, only "complaint" was that they don't take same-day reservations, which makes absolutely no sense, so make reservations at least a day before if you must)“
“I recently tried the shrimp and okra gumbo and the shrimp and corn soup from Dr. Gumbo and I loved it. The flavors were absolutely delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised how tasty and satisfying it was. The convenience of having these frozen packets on hand is a real convenience for busy days. I will surely try their other offerings like the red beans. Highly recommended.“
