Port Side Restaurant & Bar

Quaint little shack with excellent food and service. Pat was our server and we couldn't haven enjoyed our time here more. The chicken and sausage gumbo was fantastic and the shrimp po boy was very much enjoyed. They do fried options well here. Prices were agreeable.

Boys and girls, it don't get much better than this. The lady behind the counter is as nice as can be. Huge portions, and great prices, and even better food.

After a super interesting guided tour of the Destrehan Plantation plantation, we had a very typical Cajun lunch at the Port Side. Our Destrehan Plantation Guide Beverly recommended it to us and said, that if no one sent you to it, you could confuse it with a shack. Which is right - we neatrly missed it on our way along the Ol' Miss. Pat, who refers to herself as the grandma to everyone here greeted us warmly. She introduces herself politely and told us, that she will take care of us. And so she did!!! The house itself is 72 years old. The local owner holds it for 11 years and she herself works in the Port Side for 8 years. She gave all sorts of names: my babies, darlings and the like and we feel as if we're family. Menu of the day was Spaghetti with meatballs, but we preferred something local. So seafood it was!! Pat helped us decide on a plate of oyster, catfish, and shrimp and an extra fried sot shell crab. + fries + coleslaw  While we waited for our food she brought us a cup of chicken + sausage gumbo so we get to try all the local goodies. Later on she even brought some boiled crawfish, squeezed pulled and twisted off the tails for us to sample yet another local delicacy.  Three refills of sweet tea and coke later, we simply couldn't eat or drink anymore and paird our check at the front desk. Thank you for this insight of Cajun kitchen!!
