The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

    We love coming to Don’s seafood! There is something on the menu for everyone and you can find something to enjoy while you are there. We ordered the grilled stuffed shrimp with the green beans and twice baked potatoes. We also had the charbroiled oysters and the crabmeat au gratin. Our server was great, I believe his name was Jason and the view was wonderful. We were seated in the back in the private room area!

    It was quite loud. However, everyone was enjoying conversation and the food, so it’s a win! Will be back as we have been over the last 35 years. Dons is a staple in our group.
