“Great service! Great food! Classy! The Carroll High Class of 1984 had an amazing time celebrating our 40th Reunion here. We even took pictures with Mayor Friday who stopped by for lunch. We will return next year.”

“Amazing food, service, and ambiance. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.”

“Service was friendly and quick. Had the Nashville Chicken Pizza. 10/10”

“Love this place! Fresh ingredients and anything you could imagine for a salad! Definitely try the Hummus! 👌”

“My husband and I rarely get a date night and tonight, we decided to go to outback this time. Let me say that we had the best experience. Our little waitress, Mattie, was the quickest and the sweetest waitress that we've had in a very long time from any restaurant in town. Our food was cooked to perfection. Our steak was juicy, cooked just right and my husband's coconut shrimp were huge and so good. If I was promised this service and could get Mattie every time, we'd go more often.”

“My mother, daughter, grandson and myself ate here for the first time Saturday for lunch. Our server, I believe his name is Bailey?, dark wavy hair, was very attentive and friendly and made excellent menu & off-menu suggestions. Our food was wonderful. My chicken parm was huge and cooked perfectly. We loved the decor and thoughtful entertainment options. We plan to return soon. Don’t miss this place. It is unique in this area. (Next time we will take photos).”

“We want to give a shout out to the new staff and management at this location. We just finished another great breakfast there. The food is good but what is impressive is the team in place now. If you haven’t been there lately, give it another chance. Thank you team for a great experience.”

“Love there food they are nice to you”

“I had Good Customer Service 👍🏽”

“Deneisha (spelling?).was great. I wanted a salad and she kept suggesting things that made it great. Roasted chicken heated, wouldn't have thought of that. Salad was delicious. She was patient and sweet. Great Subway experience. Lots of seating. Yes I'd come back.”

“Mrs.C.C. was working the register, I know her name because I called and asked. It was 1 am and she was super nice, extremely friendly, in a great mood, and you need ten more like her.

The food was fresh, the fries amazing, hot and salted just right. The burger is amazing. It taste like it just came off a grill. Definitely don't go to the other places. This is the spot.

If I could give them ten stars I would.

Oh and the place was spotless.

I'm amazed it's 24/7 so good. Even though they were slammed it was still fast and fresh.

And they even answered the phone when I called to ask her name. This place is on the ball. They should train people for other locations. I'm super picky too.”

“12:57 am 11/22/24 idk the guy's name but he's due for a raise .. definitely manager material! Been coming as a dasher the past year almost every single night .. he never has a bad attitude, always at work it seems every time I come in. It definitely shows that he is a very positive asset! Credit is definitely due to him!! :) thanks for always being a light in a world so dark!”

“Tonight was a surprise. No longer a craft brew house, now a full service bar. Place was busy, so that’s good. 20 minute wait for a draft beer, so that’s bad. What I saw tonight was a fun place if you’re in to crowds, but a disappointing place if you’re into a good draft beer. Been a patron for several years, purchased several kegs and lots of pints, but I didn’t recognize it tonight. Hoping this is an anomaly, but the 1/5ths behind the bar say otherwise.

I actually brought an empty keg planning to go home with 1 or 2 kegs, as I have done many times. I was told it would be at least 30 minutes before they could service me. I have never experienced this. Sure missed Nate tonight.

Was told it would be at least 30 minutes before someone could get me a keg, but stock limited. Had a couple beers and took my EMPTY keg home. So sad. Hate to go to Great Raft as my keg go to, but what can a guy do?

Update:
See excellent explaination below. Growing pains for small business. Tough waters to navigate. Still a Flying Tiger Fan, and I'm sure Nate's night off was well deserved. Seems he's always there when I go in.

Planning to continue to be support local when I can.”

“Best Wings Ever!!! That Louisiana Blend is something special.”

“THEE most amazing buffet! There’s so many options and they’re all delicious!”

“This location is awesome compared to the others! The lady that works at night (I didn’t get her name) but she’s always as sweet as can be and works hard! The manager they have now is as friendly as can be and great also! Food is always PERFECT! Thank y’all for working hard to push out delicious and accurate orders!”

“best place hands down! we love the people and food! we are regulars at this point!”

“The best spot in sterlington and surrounding areas!”

“The prices are very inexpensive and worth 5 stars... Better get some of you love BBQ like I do... Wether you are traveling through Monroe, LA or staying here.. go and get some and support your local pit master... Damn it was awesome.. ?”

“I wanted hibachi and decided to give this place a try..10/10 recommend!!!! Way better than the expensive place . Food was well seasoned and the price was Very reasonable !!! The lady had a slight attitude on the phone when ordering but the food was amazing so Im glad I ignored it☺️”

“I want to give a shoutout to Nothing Bundt Cake in Monroe. I went to pick up my cake and it wasn’t ready yet. They told me that I could wait in my car and they’d just bring it out. We were in no hurry as the cake wasn’t needed today. 15 minutes later a sweet employee came out with my cake and a box of mini Bundt cakes free of charge as an apology. She told me that my cake bow fell on the floor and she refused to put it on my cake and remade it. Excellent customer service!”

“I love the waiter carline is great”

“Great Food and Amazing People.”

“The best ice cream I’ve had by far! The last 2 times I’ve been have been horrible experiences. One time there was a frozen moth in my ice cream cup, the second time I ordered a small twister and received a small cup with two bites of ice cream in it. The staff is rude. I’ve never had a bad experience until this summer. Will definitely be visiting the West Monroe location from now on.”

“It’s good place too eat but don’t get the taco salad! I have gotten it twice and both times I needed a spoon to eat it! More like taco sloppy Joe soup 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢”

“We ate lunch here on a Friday. I got a muffuletta and 2 others got the buffet. I really liked the muffuletta and my companions really liked the deserts on the buffet. We paid $33 for our food including tax so it was a reasonable price for lunch. One con, I don’t really like the air hockey table as it was very loud the one time someone played it. Recommended for the food, but the air hockey table was distracting.”

“My husband and I had a late lunch here today. The service from MaraBel (sp?) was top notch and the food was incredible. We ordered the Athena plate for two to share. It came with beef chicken and lamb- grape leaves and spinach pie (spanakopita?) a side of rice with hummus. We started with the baba ganoush and salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely be back. Thank you to the young lady who served us. She was lovely.”

“THE BEST 🥰OF THE BEST ❤️ CHICKEN EVER SOLD.. THEY'RE GROWN 😀BUT THEY'RE WRONG 😭FOR MAKING FOOD THIS GOOD”

“My mother lives near here, so we were looking for a close by place to take her. My expectations were low, but boy was I wrong. The brisket po boy was amazing and the gravy was phenomenal! My kids loved the rib sandwiches and twice baked potato salad. We will be back every time we're in town.
Edit: removed a star when I saw I was charged for tap water.”

“We had a great night at Catfish Cabin - we hadn't had service like that in I really can't remember. We didn't feel rushed or just another table. Our server Tonya was amazing. She was so attentive, anticipating our needs before I was able to ask. Originally from down south about 45 min south of NOLA, I've been eatin' seafood all my life, and lemme tell ya, this place knows what they're doin'. With so many great menu options I couldn't decide. So Tonya recommended the stuffed crab. It was the best I'd had in a while. I left feeling as stuffed as that crab! I was so impressed i called back later that evening to talk to Tonya about possibly hosting a luncheon. She was so helpful, offering all sorts of options. She was very informative and told me while they do host parties and reservations, they also do bulk order requests and off-site catering. Tonya is definitely a keeper, a definite asset to Catfish Cabin. I will definitely request her the next time we are there.”
