(Completely subjective here. This might be just the place for you.)Just no. Will there ever be enough places with giant TVs and over-salted food serving up the same menu as all of the other places with giant TVs and over-salted food?

We came for dinner. Husband wanted blue crab and he got it. The parking lot was decent and vehicles also parked along side the establishment. The decor inside and outside was put together well. Clean and friendly. We went to the counter to order and pay. We found our own seat and the food was brought out when ready. Establishment was well lit, open seating with clean restrooms. I appreciate that. Food was great quality for the value. We were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves. Really enjoyed that this was nestled on the Corner of Girod and Monroe in the Heart of Old Mandeville. We were told this was a favorite stop for locals so we had to check it out. Casual dining experience. Salad was fresh and Seafood was delicious. They support local beers as well as a selection of old standards and feature a full-service drink bar.

My go to restaurant when I visit the NorthShore. You order at the counter and find a place to sit afterwards. The food was delivered in under 10 minutes. Plenty of seating inside and out side . Food is always fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The team is always friendly and welcoming. The menu has a wide variety of seafood ( fried grilled), burgers, sandwiches, and salads. The portions are large and sometimes can be shared. You'll definitely get your moneys worth and will not leave hungry! The pictures don't do justice!

We started our afternoon with an incredible drive across the 24 mile bridge connecting Metairie, LA to Mandeville, LA (Lake Ponchartrain Causeway, the world's longest continuous bridge). It was a clear day, so the water looked amazing.We are back again!! I ordered two seafood platters for my party of four. On one platter we substituted extra fish for the oysters, and substituted fried okra (definitely, NOT on my platter!) for the fries. On my platter, I added a soft shell crab. OMG!!!! On a seafood platter is fish, shrimp, crawfish tails, oysters, carb cake, and fries. My wife and I always split the platter. It is a fantastic value!From the moment we walked into the door, we were greeted warmly as we proceeded to the order counter (you order, pay and then select a table). The lady (I was eating so hard, I who provided service at our table was super attentive throughout our meal. She made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed to make our time in the restaurant awesome.There are tables outside with large umbrellas, and lots of seating inside.Folks, come see the awesomeness of Lake Pontchartrain and taste the deliciousness of the Rusty Pelican for yourself! Once you've been once, you'll be back and back, and back again!

This place stays busy. The burgers are good and the fries are actually better than McDonald's, which is quite a feet in itself. I cannot, however recommend the prime rib sandwich. It was full of gristle and I really couldn't eat it. Otherwise the menu is full of burgers, sandwiches, Poboys and seafood and tacos, if you have a bunch of kids, this is the place to go

Great service and food at good prices. Everything was fried to perfection! The artichokes were my favorite, but my parents loved their platter. I had the burger with the fried green tomatoes, and it was so amazing I forgot to take a picture. If you come to this quaint lil town, I'd say this place is a must if you like good American bar food.

This is a local restaurant with in and outside dining. Everything is well maintained and the toilets are clean.The fried jalapeños is a good appetizer to get. The batter really clung, making them all crunchy. We only got one little thing of ranch, two would have been best.We got the seafood platter and a soft shell crab. Everything had lots of batter making for a crunch. The crab, oysters, and something unidentifiable was a little too under cooked for my preference.Everyone here seems local nice and friendly.Foutunefishco.net made a delivery as we left.

I just found out they are using imported shrimp now . I understand they use sisco for majority of the menu but c'mon we live so close to the gulf, they should be using local ingredients.

Excellent. The food was very tasty and took my son with me on our next lunch date. He loved the hamburgers but could only eat half of it due to its size.
