Reviews
We were driving from Houston to Baton Rouge tonight and stopped to get gas in Rayne. We wanted something good and gas station guy said we should go to Rascals to grab a shrimp poboy - only four miles to the Duson exit. It was 8:52 when we got back in the car, looked at Yelp reviews, saw 4.2 stars and it closed at ten. We walked in at 9:05 and the hostess said "sorry. The kitchen just closed". We said "I thought you closed at ten". Nope. It's nine. I showed her the yelp page and she said "I wondered why so many people come in after we're closed". My wife said "can we at least have a PO boy?" She said "no, but let's see what's left in the buffet." Turns out the poboy shrimp was still out and she gave us a huge takeout box of the best popcorn shrimp and tartar sauce ever. And comped it since it wouldn't keep overnight. Oh so delicious. I wish I had grabbed some frog legs, too (it is Rayne Louisiana, the Frog Capital of America, after all). Next time. We're definitely going back BEFORE 9 to get the rest of the meal. Skip Popeyes and churches and eat local. Five stars, will definitely go back.
I've never eaten at any other buffet where absolutely every item, from the mains down to the smallest side, is absolutely delicious. The cooking is very home style, but done at a truly high level. Everything is perfectly seasoned and full of with real homestyle touches like sausage in the black eyed peas, real minced garlic used in the pork grave, just great food period. Don't sleep on this hidden gem.
They have the best fried chicken, hands down! All of the sides are great too! You are missing out if you haven't eaten here!
The food was amazing. We did the buffet , the shrimp stew was amazing! The service was top notch. The ambiance of the restaurant was a nice Louisiana feel.
My favorite place to stop when I'm traveling this way. Great food, fair price, friendly service and good portions. Try the roast beef poor boy. It is huge and delicious. I have tried a bunch of stuff here and have always been happy. If I absolutely was forced to complain I would say the steak was not my favorite but still not bad. Excellent Seafood and a very tasty buffet. Highly recommend this place.
