Wags Food & Culture

Five fuckin stars. I'm giving 5 's. Ok. We were here for a few days and I'm one to try out the local places cuz thats where the best food is.....usually, about 80% of the time. Two things to keep in mind. Don't let this place fool you. Its off the main street, looks suspicious, maybe on the list for a failed food inspection, but no. Its a local joint. The parking: Not a lot of room to park because of its locations so you might have to hoof it but we were lucky it wasnt too busy. The food: Sooooo good. They seem to have daily specials and on our first visit, I ordered the catfish with red beans and rice. My brother had the fried chicken, also with red beans and rice. And corn bread on both orders. Bruh let me you, this is BY FAR THE best red beans and rice I have EVER had. I took that corn bread and broke it into the red beans and rice and just about inhaled it after the first bite. It was that good. The catfish was good too, they had this sauce that was very similar to Louisiana Hot Sauce but not too tart and not too hot. It was so perfect we asked where to get it. (Walmart). On the second visit (yes we came back) they had smoothered pork chops. . The chops were moist and tender, rice and gravy were finger lickin good. The "mac n cheese" (in quotes because it wasn't the regular elbows I'm used to but still good). And the potatoe salad (it dont look like it but it is, trust me, it is) its just as yummy. So if youre in the area and visiting, ya need to go here. Your appetite will thank you. I'm saying dont let this place fool you

Seafood here is very good. I only eat seafood, but friends say the meat dishes are very good too.One big problem is I got some seafood gumbo that they said didn't contain meat, but I could clearly see sausage! Thank goodness I didn't eat any or I would have been very, very sick.

The food and service at this cool neighborhood restaurant is definitely worth it. The atmosphere and style of the restaurant is unique and the service is always excellent and friendly. The food is very delicious and taste like the food from my grandma's kitchen. This is the best soul food restaurant on the Westbank!!!!

Food was very bland and it wasn't worth the $30 I spent. Customer service was terrible she was very rude and didn't listen to anything I was ordering needles to say she had an AirPod in while taking the order. Ambience wasn't as friendly either.

While camping at Bayou Segnette State Park we found this gem tucked into a nearby neighborhood. The food was delicious, seasoned to perfection, and the portions were generous. We had the meatloaf special and fried fish with greens, potato salad, and cornbread. The service is friendly and top notch. Our only regret is not ordering their gumbo! Next visit to the area we'll be stopping at Wag's again!

The food is banging. Southern feel in the place with great hospitality. A small tucked away restaurant but most def a place to seek out if you are looking for a good meal (breakfast or lunch) that sticks. I would recommend wags on a lazy Saturday or Sunday for brunch.

The man at the front counter talk too much .... I waited in line 30mins to pick up an order that I called in. Food was just sitting in the window getting cold

Absolutely love Wags. They do 5 mains and 4 side combinations that you can mix and match. Great service and quality cuisine.

I had it a few years ago and wasn't too impressed with it. It's not the souls food I'm used to from Baton Rouge and Lafayette areas. Anyways I gave it another try and still not impressed. Got 3 chicken plates all with different side so we could taste different options. We were hoping for whole pieces, but they were party wings. :(They red beans didn't have much seasoning and rice was overcooked and clumpyI didn't care for the mac and cheese because they use spaghetti noodle and it just taste like noodles mixed with cheese. The potato salad was okay but could lay off the mustard a little. For the price, I would prefer go to any corner store and get a better varieties at much better price.

Great food and great prices! Nice vibe too. When they have mixed drinks, they're good also. Gumbo is my favorite thing on the menu.
