Connies Grill & Catering - (Near Laplace, LA)

Amber McDuff Ive dealt with one of the owners and some of the employees before when I changed their oil and they were nice enough but my husband works for the utility department and because of how quick they got the power restored several weeks ago after a storm, they were given a sampler crawfish plate thing. I was very impressed, you know its good crawfish when their leftover and reheated crawfish (albeit properly and in boiling water very briefly) is better than other restaurants freshly made crawfish. Tonight, I forgot to take meat out to thaw so he went to town for food. I wanted crawfish but he doesnt like them. Nonetheless, he decided on Bayou Cajun Crawfish because of how they treated him several weeks ago when he was doing his job. According to the employees, they have most of the branches represented there with employees but they were more than happy to give my husband a Military Discount and were super friendly. Some restaurants make honoring discounts seem like a chore so we really appreciated that.

Monique Cohen First time buyer! Purchased at Tinsels and Treasures and glad I did - easy to fix and my family loved it! Reasonably priced good portions will buy again!

Zachary Zilm Wife and I were finally able to go in. Food was great and so happy to have a place like this in town! A great place to try something new or, like us, grab some flavors we have been missing since we moved here. Cant wait to go back.

Adam & Lana - The Crains My wife and I chose Apero for our anniversary, and the entire experience was truly special and memorable. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, well-organized, and impeccably clean, setting a fantastic mood from the moment we walked in. The service was truly excellent—attentive and professional. They even gave us a lovely, signed card for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highlights from the Menu: * Drinks: We started with the "1988" cocktail and the "Lost Paradise" zero-proof drink. Both were exceptional and a perfect start to the evening. * Appetizers: We ordered the Marinated Olives (very good) and the Lump Blue Crab and Brie Dip, which was the star! It was exceptional, packed with plenty of crab, and the crostinis were perfect for dipping. * Steaks: For our main course, we both had the beef filet steaks. They were cooked to absolute perfection—tender and incredibly flavorful. The accompanying Dijon sauce was fine, but honestly, the steak was so good it stood perfectly well on its own. * Sides: The sautéed mushrooms were amazing! The hassleback potatoes were the only slight miss, as they were a touch bland. * Dessert: We were too full to eat dessert there but took the Pineapple Upside Down Cake home, and it was a delightful way to finish the meal later. Overall, Apero provided a 4.7 dining experience, perfect for celebrating a special occasion. We highly recommend it!

Westyn Ardoin One of the best places to eat in DeRidder! From my very first visit, I was given a warm and genuine welcome, and that experience has kept me coming back whenever I get the chance. The staff always makes me feel appreciated, and the food is consistently amazing. I truly couldn’t ask for a better restaurant to have in our community.

Abigail Gunn Best food and service in this town by far. Wonderful customer service! GREAT FOOD!! Got the fried shrimp salad, fried shrimp poboy and, a double bacon cheese burger. Looks, smells, and taste great!
