My Favorite Restaurants
Although I prefer a home cooked meal, eating out is a fun treat too. We prefer the local places!
I always get the Catfish Almondine and my hubby gets the Shrimp Rakhee. They have a great back patio area with turtles that you can feed! Sometimes the ULM ski team practices in the bayou and that is fun to watch.
