Southern Soul - (Near Newellton, LA)

J.S. M. Fantastic hidden restaurant surrounded by lush tropical landscaping - this restaurant never disappoints! The Sunday brunch is all-you-can-eat and is a great value. The drinks are strong, cool and delicious. Make sure you stop in at the nearby Turtle Bar which is only a few feet from the entrance to this restaurant. Its one of the most interesting and unique small bars you will ever pop into in the Baton Rouge - New Orleans areas. If you do find yourself eating at Cafe Burnside or grabbing a delicious cocktail at the Turtle Bar, I assure you that youll be smitten and continue coming here no matter where youre from our how long your drive is. Guaranteed!

Jerry Vee This was the 1st time eating at this restaurant and it was fantastic. Its a little hole-in-the-wall diner with fresh seafood. I ordered 2 pounds of their jumbo shrimp peel-and-eatem, and they were delicious. They were some of the biggest shrimp I have ever eaten, and they were fantastic. If you havent eaten here, I would highly recommend it. A couple across from us were enjoying some fresh cooked blue crab and said they always go there to eat. Its not fancy by any means, but the fresh seafood is some of the best that I have eaten. I would highly recommend this little diner. The service was excellent, too. I

Chelsy Menard You’re not gonna find better flavored crawfish in abbeville than this place! Love them!

Joshua Hatten The BBQ wings with cheese fries was awesome! Stop by and give them a try!

Larry Cushenbery I’ve visited Pokas Restaurant twice now, and both times the experience has been fantastic. I tried their burger and fries on one visit and the catfish plate on the other, and I have to say, they serve some of the best food around. The flavors were spot on, and the portions were generous. Beyond the delicious meals, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick. If you’re looking for great food with excellent service, Pokas is definitely the place to go!
