- JJodyNew Orleans / Louisiana •8 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant over the last few years. We have enjoyed ourselves, the food and the ambience. Tonight was different…We are not sure what the expectation is. Is the theme Tapas or regular dishes? My lamb shank was excellent, and the Eggplant appetizer however, my wife’s dish the drum was very, very small and not very tasty with bloodline. please offer bread to the table without the charge… we will come back, just trying to offer feedbackMore infoJacmel InnPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Hammond•4.7
- KKarenNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 1, 2024We were there to celebrate our friends birthday. The waitress name was either Jade or Jada. She was "the best" She interacted with us and fit right in with our craziness. My husband said she could sell ice to an Eskimo. Lol. Three of the four of us got the recommended specials. Everything was delicious. It was a Monday night, so it wasn't crowded. The food is a little pricey, but for a special occasion. It is definitely a treat.More infoBuddies Bar and GrillPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Hammond•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerAnchorage / Alaska •7 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 3, 2024We loved Don’s! We tried it because it was recommended by a local colleague of my husband. We loved the boudin balls-so tasty! I enjoyed my blackened fish, and my hubby loved his fried oyster Po boy. Our kids enjoyed their food too-a good kids menu is a plus for us. Thanks for a wonderful evening!More infoDon's Seafood of HammondPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hammond•4.5
