El Patio Mexican Restaurant -Food CA (Near Natchitoches)

Russell Allanson This place is a staple in the area. They have a wide variety of seafood and ways to prepare it. Steaks are limited but VERY good. Our server, Haley, was super! Her attention and timing were impeccable! It was Monday so you can see from the pictures what we ate! The raw oysters were huge and some of the very best I’ve ever had! (And I live on the Gulf in another state.) Before ordering I confirmed the oysters were local and the shrimp come from the Gulf. (We support our shrimpers!) The broiled shrimp were small but good. The stuffed baked potato had been sitting a little too long but still okay. The fillet was AMAZING! Perfect flavor, and cooked beautifully! The bread pudding was good too. If you’re visiting the area, stop in and enjoy what they do well. If you’re a local, you already know. And while the steak was a little pricey, but worth it, the overall pricing of the menu was very fair.

Christina Stewart ***Update*** Not only were they quick to respond and fix the issue, the kindness was beyond comparison to any other company. That is the only reason we decided to return. We finally returned on Monday and the service and food was astounding. We got Oyster orleans, snaw crab claws in an Orleans sauce, shrimp and grits with a side of red beans, 2 red fish orleans with broccoli, 2 loaded potatoes, asparagus, and filet orleans with red beans and loaded mashed potatoes. The food was amazing. Hot, fresh, and quickly out to our table. Im very disappointed with our visit tonight. This was my fiances favorite restaurant so we chose this for his birthday dinner. We ordered appetizers and drinks as soon we got seated. After a 20 minute wait we got our drinks and ordered our food. A hour later the food came cold and no appetizer. It completely ruined his birthday. Very very disappointed.

Camarra B. Love at first bite.... This was my first time trying KOK Wings & Things and I am very impressed. I had sweet heat and lemon pepper wings, a catfish & shrimp basket with a side of sweet heat/honey garlic rub fries and everything was absolutely amazing. To add to my experience, the customer service was great and the atmosphere was very fun. Next time Im in the area, Im stopping by for sure!! And if you stay in the area, then you must check them out!

John Daniel Visited on our last night in LaPlace and were kicking ourselves for not going sooner. It was about 8pm on a Monday evening, so it was slow and mostly empty. We had the sweetest server who did a great job taking care of us. The charbroiled oysters were amazing. I had the crawfish boil, which came with shrimp and crab legs, plus corn, potatoes, and sausage. It was more than I could eat by myself. Makes me wish we had a Fiery Crab up in our part of the country.

Terrie Hancock Shays, a great place to come and eat and dine, they shall very good hospitality and warmness. The food is great and the service is excellent. Everytime family members and I come to town we always come here to eat. The atmosphere is very warm. Thank you well see you soon.

Alan Green Great staff and “Off the Hook” manager. Went in with a party of 20+ at about 20 minutes before closing time and they welcomed us in with smiles on their faces instead of turning us around. Will make this a must stop to eat every time in Thibodaux. The food being great was a bonus.
