Went for lunch on a Friday and it was ok. The atmosphere is cute for kids but not really for an adult lunch. Music was way too loud and waitresses were inattentive and overly casual. The lunch salad had old soggy tomatoes and cucumbers. The pizza was good but had no seasoning. My friends salad had to be redone because of the brown lettuce. This was the second disappointing visit or I would say we may try again.

So, we came out for steak night, hoped to sit outside, but the skeeters chased us in. It is worth the drive here, and easy to find with your GPS app. The view of the water, and the drinks were very good. We moved inside and decided to share the Steak Night special. You are Supposed to call ahead for this,and I'd suggest doing that, as it gets busy. Our waiter Jordan was great; wonderful personality, and, in the end, he saved Loggerheads from an awful review here! They did have 3 steaks that had not been called for, so we ordered a meal to share. We began with crawfish empanadas, which were served hot, fresh and delciious. Here is where is got hinky...we waited...and waited. It truly seemed like Jordan was the only waiter, as he was kept running all night long. He did check on us, and was amazed our food had not been served, after a 45 minute wait, so he gave us 2 more drinks, on the House. Another 30 minutes goes by, and it seems they are about to shut the place down, yet, still No dinner. Jordan checks again, and admits they totally forgot about it,and it would be served in 10 minutes. We did enjoy the meal, after waiting more than an hour and a half. We appreciated out waiter's honesty. Sadly, we were Never approached by management; it would have been nice to get an apology for the epic wait.Nice spot, worth the drive, great view, good drinks, and good food. Just stay on them about your food delivery, if you're not a local.Jordan deserves a raise!

Met old high school classmate for lunch after meeting in Lake Charles. He highly recommended the one half shrimp po-boy, and he was right! Thereweâre plenty of them, with local sauce & fully dressed. A delicious meal.

With an 8 month old golden retriever, not many restaurants welcome you with open arms. These folks did. They even brought the dog her own dish of water. The food was great. Huge portions of well prepared food. Loved the outdoor tables. Highly recommended.

Since this restaurant is very close to where we live we decided to give it a try. The food was delicious and the servers friendly. It could use a little interior decorating but would definitely go back

This was our second trip to blue Martini at the Golden Nugget. We went at happy hour so the drinks were half off with appetizer specials. The artichoke dip is fabulous! I wouldnt recommend the pretzel bites because there are not very many so itâs not really worth the cost. Cocktails are all yummy, the white sangria, peach lime margarita were both good. Our server was Ali Gilley and she was fabulous!

We were in from out of town, staying at the very busy casino, and looking for a place we could get in and out of for breakfast. Big Daddy's was nearby so it won the coin toss and boy did we luck out. The food was so good (must try the beignets), MUCH cheaper than we would have paid, and Joe Miller was eating there at the same time. I consider this a can't miss, even though its a little hole in a strip mall. Very good and great service.

The place and decorations, waitresses' uniforms, make you feel like you are in a real Irish pub. You can sit at the bar for drinks, great selection of Irish whiskey and beer, or seat at the terrace for dinner. Excellent burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips.

The sandwiches are the best anywhere. Incredible po boy roll, three cheeses melted just right, gravy, lettuce and jalapeño mayonnaise are the perfect surrounding for any choice of filling. Highly recommend the surf and turf, thin slices roast beef with seasoned shrimp. Dig in, make a mess and waste a bunch of napkins. Add a Shiner draft to wash it down and enjoy. Awesome!
