Customer Reviews

"Came here for the first time with coworkers and Atchafalaya did not disappoint. In fact, it was an amazing experience! The food is delicious and well made. You can tell by the quality that they really care about their product. The service was also above and beyond. They were so attentive, friendly, and professional. I'm from out of town, but now I know where to go when I visit."

"I heard that this place is under new ownership, we're from out of state so we don't really know much of the details of that. But it has to be the reason why this place doesn't have a freaking five star review... Because OMG! First of all, our server, Mariah was absolutely amazing! Like I have never had a server this amazing before. And we've had some pretty amazing servers so if you go, make sure you ask for our girl... Now onto the appetizers... These were the best appetizers we've ever had anywhere. We got the fried pickles, fried mushrooms, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was literally amazing... And the cheese pulled on those mozzarella sticks did not disappoint! Lol. Then we ordered our dinner and we all got a variety of different things and there was no complaints from that either! I got the AYCE Crap Legs, which right now are $49.99 on Thursdays. 10/10 so good! My Granny ordered the Ribeye steak and it was SO GOOD. Overall our experience was wonderful and we would absolutely return!!"

"Saw a sign for this place on our way home. Its big and open on the inside with a full bar in the center. Food came out fast hot and delicious. Big portions my wife couldn't eat all her shrimp which was big and juicy. My red fish was fresh and huge"

- William C.

"Visited this restaurant on 8/17/25. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Restaurant appeared to have a very clean appearance which was confirmed by staff constantly cleaning. Not too much noise inside. The charbroiled Oysters had a great taste and I will be ordering more of these on the next visit. Ordered the seafood platter with crawfish potatoe salad - at 1st I doubted this potatoe salad but it ended up tasting great with a light spicy kick to it. The seafood platter was also great and had enough food for two people to share. The fried red boiled potatoes were okay. The egg rolls were hot and fresh and actually had a good taste also. The bar drinks were mixed well and it was no complaints on those."

"Dropped in to avoid a thunderstorm on the highway. Very pleasantly surprised! Gumbo and seafood salad were delicious. Husband said his ribeye was tender and juicy, maybe a bit past his ideal medium rare, but we both left happy! Neither of us could finish our entrees, as much as we hated to leave it. Cajun music was at a pleasant volume and catchy!"

- Trish H.

"I haven't had a bad meal yet. Love their pastas. Come for daily lunch specials at a great price. Get the creme brulee!"
