Mama's Oyster House - Natchitoches

Our waitress, Natalie, was absolutely great. She had a lovely and great personality. Worked liked a Trojan getting everything we needed. Ordered fried fish platters and food was not seasoned and cold when served.. Spoke with kitchen manager who rolled hiseyes as we explained food was cold. Restaurant manager did apologize. Have to hand it to Natalie as she was the only good thinggoing for this restaurant. Natalie keep on keeping on and don't let this restaurant steal your thunder.

Food was really good. Had a new trainee serving, manager came by twice to check on us. We had snapper and catfish,both were cooked perfect! Portion size was excellent!

Food and service were great. Fried Gator ???? appetizer was delicious ????, Catfish was fresh and seasoned just right. Frozen drinks ???? hit the spot and I adored their tarter sauce! I did have to ask for my hush puppies which were included with mymeal. The prices are fairly high, therefore a guest shouldn?t have to ask for any part of what?s included with their meal.

Do not get the oysters. They are preshucked put on a washed oyster shell and refrigerated until some orders them. I would have loved to try the baked oysters however the oyster oven was broken.

A gem ???? but be sure to arrive more than 30 minutes before closing as the kitchen closes down a bit early. The food is top of the top for a bar in a small community. Live music was surprisingly awesome for a small spot. But hey, it's The South so Ishould have expected hidden talent Serving staff was super and friendly. The atmosphere reminds me of Cheers but with a Texas/ Louisiana twist. Check out all the shops nearby and the Church around the corner, oh and the gorgeous riverfront.
