The Jolly Inn

My partner and I ended up at this place on a rainy Thursday night in Houma mostly because we were too lazy to travel anywhere farther. Fortunately, we stumbled upon a pretty neat place with some live music to boot! The Jolly Inn has a kind, down-home Louisiana atmosphere. There are drunks, yes, but they're nice drunks. And you can never go wrong with a jukebox.The clincher for the 4-star rating, however, was that on Friday evenings the Jolly Inn has a "Cajun night" in the back hall that houses some great, lively Cajun music and food. It's fun for the whole family and cover is only $3. People young and old are there, and it's really a fun, wholesome atmosphere. Band starts playing around 6pm and ends just shy of 11pm. If you're lucky, Mr. Allie "Gator" will give you an 'honorary Cajun' certificate. He was married 39 years on the evening he played for us.Fun stuff.

I was in town and had lunch there today. The price for a hamburger, fries and an iced tea was $14. The burger was fresh made but no better than, say Wendy's. Nothing special. The fries were your typical fresh frozen variety. Again, nothing special. I questioned the cashier about the price and she confirmed it. There are lots of choices for lunches in Houma that are better values. Plate lunches are $8 but here were only two choices. My associates each had one. They were ok but certainly a better value. I'll remember the experience next time I'm in town. I hope someone in management bothers to read this.

Wonderful culture atmosphere . Classic country and cajun french. Cajun dancing and line dancing. A fun time.

Friday night dancing in authentic Cajun dancehall was such fun. Welcoming atmosphere and delicious food at great prices

Please don't go here to get great Louisiana cooking. The food is not good quality but will fill your belly. It is not very expensive but it is not a good example of what we have to offer. I can say that it is a place to go if you are visiting the area and want to dance to some French Cajun music. The place will not hurt your pocket book and you can make it one stop on your tour of the area.

Homiest place to eat. If you enjoy some delicious Cajun food and a staff that treats you like family this is the place to go. They have delicious lunch specials mon-fri and some fun Cajun dancing on Fridays and Sunday's. Not to mention the food on Friday nights! If you are looking for some Cajun fun with a lively atmosphere, this is the place to go!:))

hubby and i went on friday night. seafood platter "delicious" and not overpriced! cajun dance and music was incredible fun for young and old. only kicker, when we walked in, only saw a bar and started to walk out, one of the very freindly patrons said you must be here to eat! then directed us thru a door to the rear. fun , great atmospere, make you feel right at home, great service!!! mississippi couple!
