Mama's Oyster House

The taxidermy animals were very cool! My #1 dish in all of my food journeys of Louisiana is found here, it’s the Cane River catfish on angel hair with étouffée. Absolutely amazing. Oysters were good, for an oyster house it’d be nice to have more than one location source for options. Pecan pie was definitely the way to finish the great meal.

This is my first ever review. Have never felt so inclined to leave one, but had to after this experience. Horrible service, and outrageous prices for small serving amount and poor quality of food. Ordered a $30 combination “platter” (shrimp and catfish) thinking it could be shared between 2. The plate literally came with 3 shrimp, 3 catfish NUGGETS, and maybe 10 fries. It was 10 of us at a table - 8 of us got our food after about 40 minutes, and the other two didn’t get their food until about 20 minutes after everyone was finished with their food. Server was consistently neglectful and had a bad attitude when asked for things and when concerns were expressed. We had to ask for silverware, straws, refills, bill, etc. Drink and side orders were forgotten about. Manager said the best they could do was take 10% off of the bill. Gratuity was included in the bill, but it was not deserved whatsoever, and this is coming from a table full of ex-servers.

3 shrimp, 3 small oysters, and 3 pieces of fish. $19.00. Food very overpriced.

A gem ???? but be sure to arrive more than 30 minutes before closing as the kitchen closes down a bit early. The food is top of the top for a bar in a small community. Live music was surprisingly awesome for a small spot. But hey, it's The South so I should have expected hidden talent Serving staff was super and friendly. The atmosphere reminds me of Cheers but with a Texas / Louisiana twist. Check out all the shops nearby and the Church around the corner, oh and the gorgeous riverfront.

Paid $22 for 8 shrimp and they gave me 7. Salad bar was disgusting. There seems to be no management, just college kids trying to do their best.
