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.

Overall it was a good lunch experience. Our server was on top of his game with the taking and delivery of our orders. The restaurant was good on timing of the food coming to the table. However even though everything was delicious as usual, the seafood gumbo was served lukewarm. It was not at the temperature it should have been. This was a late lunch reservation for 1:30 PM and was served around 2 PM. I will try another late lunch reservation and order the seafood gumbo to see if it comes at a normal hot temperature. Look for my next review.

We had a great date night. Our food took a little longer than expected but the complementary hush puppies helped keep us from from getting to hungry while we waited. Once our food arrived, it was hot and delicious! Thank you for a job well done.

Despite being super busy for half off oysters, the service was still quick. Food was fresh and hot, drinks were string per usual. Definitely a good time when going to Dons.

Even though it was a very busy Monday evening with the 1/2 priced oysters specials, our waitress stayed on top of her game making suggestions and getting our orders in and delivered in a very reasonable timeframe. Can’t wait to go back.
