Restaurants in Ponchatoula

“Our waiter. Austin was exceptional.”

“While vacationing in La. we recently popped into the Pink Agave for a late lunch after church services. What a cute place! A relaxed atmosphere with good food and great drinks which were reasonably priced. We loved our waitress Hannah, who was attentive and pleasant.... a real sweetheart! We’ll definitely be back for an encore prior to heading back home to Pa.”

“Great place and great atmosphere!!”

“Favorite snowballs in the Hammond Ponchatoula area. Great choice of flavors and add-ons, good prices, and expanded menu for heartier appetites. Plus, the owner is super nice and when you ask for 'light on the syrup," she actually goes light on the syrup.”

“Great home cooked food - very nice staff and owners - really enjoyed this place”

Kid-friendliness: No one under 21

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, but parking lot is gravel and can get several muddy puddles from rain”

“Look, I'll say it like this. If this place ever shuts down due to lack of business, i will be very upset. They're very willing and patient to answer questions, and this is easily the best fried rice in atleast a 50 mile radius. The honey walnut was excellent. The lady that i assume is the owner recommended apple pie for desert, and man. Its apple pie. Its good apple pie. At the end of the day.. its apple pie. Yall are a great addition to ponchatoula and I'm happy to finally see a clean and delicious place set in this location. (Come on, Bootsy's). I'll be back.”

“Sweet P's is the Chick-fil-A of ice cream shops! Everyone is always so nice. I don't know where they find the sweetest and most polite teenagers to run this place but kudos to them and their parents! I go for the snowballs and amazing ice cream flavors but honestly they could be half as good as any other shop and I would return for the refreshingly courteous employees. Sweet P's, keep building our future business owners, you're doing great!”

“I didn’t meet Connie but she knows how to cook! Food & service was great!”

“Awesome Bartenders! Great place to hang out!”

“Ppl hating on doos but besides them forgetting to put my boiled eggs in with order I’ve always like the shrimp box and the crawfish,shrimp and crab legs…hate that they seem to fallen off 🤷‍♂️”

“The staff and snowballs are amazing. The girls are always so nice. The ice is 🔥🔥🔥”

“Great place love coming there great ice cream great daiquiris the lady that Waits on us at the window is absolutely gorgeous and nice very nice so thank you everyone and be safe God bless”

“We went in 01/06/25 I do not know who the employee was who was working but she had no basic customer service. We did not get greeted when we walked in, did not get asked if we needed any help or questions. Thankfully I have had years of experience with Hershey's Ice Cream so knew everything about it. But as a new customer I felt as if the employee had no care for her job. I would have just liked if she would have talked a little bit more and explained their procedures and steps.”

“Large order, ready is 15 minutes. Got everything right. Was hot and great! Well done!”

“A little slow at times. Workers tend to be in the back alot but rarely anyone in the front for customers. I go for the cheesy puffs

Parking: Its connected to a gas station and sometimes parking is hard to get”

“The workers here are really sweet and Very helpful. They are patient and will take their time to help you decide on what you want. I was impressed by how clean the store is.”

“We hosted my daughter’s Sweet 16 at JRucker’s this past weekend. Everyone had a great time! Ms. Olivia handled all the decorations creating a beautiful space. She gave me everything I could have imagined and more. It really was a beautiful party! The staff was professional, paid attention to details, friendly, and fun. Everyone is still talking about how good the food was, especially the shrimp pasta. This is the perfect place to host an event big or small. I highly recommend you check them out. Our night was pure perfection! You won’t be disappointed.”

“I had the pleasure of enjoying the original praline, chocolate praline, coconut praline and the praline stuffed king cake. The pralines were creamy with the perfect melt-in-your-mouth consistency and I loved each flavor. That King Cake is soft, moist and perfectly sweetened. I’m happily adding it to my list of favorites. The service is just as sweet as the pralines. Thank you Ms. Joyce and the entire team. Definitely worth the trip to Ponchatoula.”

“We stopped in for drinks mid afternoon. Server was great. Very talkative. We were there on a Monday and the martinis we 2 for 1 I believe. My wife loved them.
There was a customer who came in hijacked the Bluetooth music to play his own. Don't be like that guy. His music sucked. Hopefully management fixes him. We would definitely go back.”

“This is my favorite plave for sushi. I get the Philadelphia roll each time and the shrimp tempura appetizer and not only does it satisy my taste buds but, it fills me up! ?
It's not a place you can "dine in" but, you're welcome to dine on the patio, which is a nice and peaceful setting. ☺️ no complaints here. Always happy.”

“Every visit is an absolute delight! The food is consistently delicious—every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. The youngest staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that you don’t often find anymore. Their genuine hospitality makes all the difference. I also love that I can count on live music on the weekends—it adds such a wonderful energy and makes for the perfect date night with my husband. Whether we’re enjoying a relaxing evening together or introducing friends to this hidden gem, the experience is always fantastic. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both exceptional food and an inviting ambiance, this is it! Highly recommend!”

“Always had the foods/ soups for years. Very good and fair prices as well. Even forgot a cell phone recently and the employee kept it safe for me until I retrieved it. Good spot.”

“Excellent food and quick service!! I'll definitely be back!!!! Came back for dine in and was the same, great!!😀

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with parking”

“We had a good experience. The owners were very nice and the food was fantastic. We had egg rolls and dole whip. If you want fresh fruit added, you need to ask them to add it, and they will. They also had fun activities outside their store, for customers to keep entertained and relax while enjoying their treats! Thanks y’all for the nice experience!”

“the food was amazing outdoor seating was cool nice atmosphere”
