Stopped here on our travels home. Ordered boiled shrimp, fried shrimp, cracklins, chicken tenders, meat pies and Cajun fries. Everything was delicious! Used their remoulade sauce for dipping, it was perfect. Also had hush puppies that were light and crispy. This is a to go place so we sat in our RV and enjoyed our meal. Portions are generous and prices are good. Employees were friendly and helpful, even the other customers were great to talk to. We like finding the places we're the locals go. Worth the trip!

Looking for Cajun food on Sunday nite in Alexandria can be difficult. These wonderful folks were open and wow! The boiled shrimp and crab were wonderful. No fuss, no muss, very reasonably price for the food. Please understand they don't have any place to sit, it's usually a take away place but they hooked us up with forks and plates and we took it back to our hotel and were the envy of the place! Shrimp, crab, corn, and potatoes were seasoned perfectly to make your mouth happy happy! Eat here!

Ate here last night. The chicken was hot and fresh. The skin was crispy. The potato salad and dirty rice were yummy. It was clean. We'll go back.

I was super eager to enjoy a good cajun meal. however, I was not that pleased with this restaurant. The food was a huge portion for the price but the quality was not great. Our order was prepared wrong twice . The water was so nasty in the area that the drinks tasted awful. I would recommend takeout versus dine in from my own experience .

In years past we often had Sunday brunch at the Holiday Inn restaurant. Everything was ideal. Fast forward to current times with full renovation of the hotel and new restaurant. We were three couples dining there after church last Sunday. We were the only diners in the entire restaurant. Our waiter was good and took our orders promptly. Then we waited and waited and waited for one hour. Finally our meals were served. Three of us didnât complain about their meals. They had a sandwich rollup, a hamburger and a shrimp pasta dish. Three of us had less than pleasing experiences. We had seafood gumbo and steak. The guy who ordered the gumbo couldnât eat it because it was loaded with heavy salt and spices and far more sausage than shrimp. He could only taste two bites, then each of us at the table supplemented his meal. My husband and I shared an 18 ounce steak which we requested to be medium rare. Our steak was well done and very highly seasoned to the point we couldnât fully enjoy it.. We all felt like the costs of our meals was above the norm. We didnât complain to the staff, however we wonât be returning.

Spirits is not your average restaurant. Since opening in the Garden District on the corner of Texas Avenue and Jackson Street in 1967, it has evolved into an Alexandria institution, a place where you can enjoy great food, great service and great live musi

Went here with a group of friends from work. It was a nice surprise, the establishment was bigger than I expected, with good decor and atmosphere. There was a patio area and live music as well. Food was very good as was the service provided by Pam.Only downside for me was the limited number of beers on tap, although there were numerous bottled options. Thank you for the great review! We do have 4 rotating taps so the next time you join us we will have something new for you to try!

This is a well maintained restaurant. The food is good, not great. Choice of entree, 3 sides, cornbread and a drink. You choose in a serving line. Two people was $31.00. Probably a fair price for the amount of food. Would I return on my next trip through Alexandria? Probably not. It was sufficient.
