Lil G's Kajun Restaurant

I had the fried crab with a house salad. Both were very. I especially enjoyed the fried crab, served over over some white sauce. Not the healthiest option on the menu, but every bite was great. I like being able to each the entire crab. The center was also stuff, which I didn't realize until I got to the center. I may have started with the outer limbs The breading on the crab was well seasoned and fried perfectly. Service was slow. They had a big party, which backed up all the orders. Hopefully, they're much faster on other days. Plenty of parking here.

Weekday lunch with husband in assuming surroundings at Lil G's, under new ownership. Plenty of parking. Not super busy on this day.Husband had hamburger steak meal, which he enjoyed. I had the chopped salad, interestingly including goat cheese and crispy okra. I probably should have asked about the okra.Danielle was kind enough to serve house made Cajun ranch on the side; was very tasty. Would have enjoyed a little more goat cheese. Crispy okra = fried okra, which blew my mind - warm fried okra on top of my fresh salad. I put all of the okra in a small bowl on the side and ate it separately.I think getting someone's attention to check out probably was the slowest part of the process. Drinks never went dry, and pricing is reasonable. Not sure we will return, though, just because there's nothing outstanding about the food; it's just good.

We were in town due to a festival in New Orleans - decided to try this restaurant due to the location to our hotel and the ambiance of the restaurant front. We were able to be seated right away, as we missed the diner rush. Our server, Whitney, was so sweet and accommodating - explaining the menu and some of their best dishes. We ordered the shrimp and grits, beans and rice, shrimp dish with fries, and the chopped salad w/ chicken added. The food was really good and we will return again!

My family went for dinner on Friday night. We were seated fairly quickly. As someone said in another review, the service wasn't bad, but it was odd. Our waitress took our order without writing anything down, but didn't seem confident that she would remember what we ordered. She did and there were no errors. The lack of confidence just felt odd. The food was delicious. Not pictured is the beignet bread pudding. So good!!! It didn't have raisins (YAY!), it had a crisp crust, which I loved, and the sauce was really good. I will definitely get that again. Next time, I think we might get our food to go.

First time there. One of 2 tables there. Service was great. The outside looks divey. The inside is quite quaint. Coastal seafood theme. The food we had was good. Shrimp and grits. Shrimp poboy. We wanted grilled oysters. We're told the chef chooses not to make them at this time. Hmmm.

Very convenient location right off base if your wanting something close. It looks fun and inviting on the outside. On the inside it looked cleaned and well laid out. When we first walked in we weren't sure if we were suppose to just sit or wait to be seated there was a hostess table but no hostess or a sign anywhere that said "please wait to be seated" or "please seat yourself" so we stood around for a bit until someone finally came out. She wasn't very friendly, it was kind of awkward, I instantly lost interest in being there. The waitress was even more quiet and dry. The food was okay I would recommend the food if you like seafood. The place was clean but the service really killed it for me. It's ok, I guess, if you want something quick or to go.

The food is mediocre for the price. Service is okay but the lady spent the whole time hovering over us and it was uncomfortable. It was good place to watch sports though.

So have been here a few times and it's been a good experience for the most part. In fact last time we came in my son ordered the shrimp and grits and really liked them. Well yesterday I bring my other son in and he orders the shrimp and grits and it was a mess. In fact he couldn't eat it as you can tell by the following picture. I asked the server if this was normal cooked this way and she said I'm not sure I don't work in the kitchen. So I responded with but you bring it to the table. She replied yes that's how they make it. We have eaten shrimp and grits before all over this city and this is the first time it looked like a butter gumbo with shrimp. So eater beware if this is how they normally present this dish. If it's not train your staff better

The service was definitely lacking. First as we were being seated the hostess said follow me and didn't wait for us to get up from the very dark waiting area. So I followed her into the wait station because she didn't show us our table. She pointed, we sat down. We then sat there for over 5 minutes for our server to come and take our drink order. Our server, I have no idea what her name was because she never told us, then took our order and then came back and informed me they were out of roast beef. This was 5:30ish local time. So we started with onion rings, which I highly recommend! I wish now we would have tried the gator spring rolls too but a girl can only eat so much... just wait....Well they were out of roast beef. I know, I know, it's a Cajun restaurant but I've had so much Cajun I just needed some good ole beef. So I ended up getting a grilled chicken poboy. Chicken was seasoned well but was too thick and tough for a sandwich. Plus the bread was hard which made it even harder to eat. The chicken just kept falling out of the bread and I ended up eating it with a knife and fork. It was HUGE! 12" at least! And it didn't come with a side dish. Cut the sandwich size I half and give me an option of sides and for the price I'd pay the same. Honey enjoyed his dinner but didn't get what he ordered! He ordered Half and half and ended up being served Thibodaux which is stuffed crab and crawfish in cream sauce. He says it was delicious. We didn't care he didn't get what he ordered because we watched a lady at the table across from us sit and wait for her dinner until everyone else at her table (4 folks) were done eating. (Her boyfriend/Hubby's dinner got cold while he waited for her to be able to eat too and they both ended up taking their full dinners to go). Also the server who took our order was not the same person who put our order into the kitchen. We know this because she came back and asked about our side orders because she couldn't read the other girls writing. The restaurant still looks mostly the same as it did when #RestaurantImpossible got through with it. There was an ugly couple of two x fours just hanging on the wall behind me where a Gator sign used to hang, as seen on RI. Hang a picture there already! Plastic over the oars that separate the center of the restaurant which I'm sure was there because of COVID but really not unnecessary. And it was very dark in there! Idk if I'd eat there again. There are SO many 4+ starred restaurants in the area. Maybe it was just a bad night. Somehow, I don't think so.

Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. Excellent customer service. I recommend the crawfish pasta and the mouth watering bread pudding (to die for). I never have to struggle to find parking and their hostess is the best.
