Good but not perfect
August 08, 2014

We were three of us for dinner. Two of the meals were great. But the Louisiana jambolia was rather bland and mostly rice. $18 is a lot to pay for a plate of rice. The crab cakes were great and the dessert was great. We also had great service. I would go back but I would avoid the jambolia.

Lunch with the hubbie
August 07, 2014

Thought we'd treat ourselves-husband is already on holidays and I had an early workday so lunch at Louisiana Purchase- haven't been here for awhile and regretted that as it was an outstanding lunch- had the satisfaction plate and the seafood boudin- both were very nicely executed-the satisfaction plate was massive and lots of layers of flavours-will be back soon.

I usually am only in edmonton once or twice a year, however after accidentally happening upon it on one of my trips, my girlfriend and I now visit every time I am in town. The food is amazing and the music and decor has made it a little taste of the south. We will continue to visit as we are determined to try everything on the menu at least once. We look forward to our next visit!

Saw this restaraunt on You Gotta Eat Here and they were right you. The catfish was done well the fish was cooked right it was moist and the blackening spice was mild and not to hot, the vegtables were cooked just right with a little bit a crunch to them but still tender and were tossed in a honey butter and fresh dill. This was a great find in my experience and you need to eat here.

It's been a few years since our last visit. The menu changed a little since the last time. The kids tried the new fried chicken and loved it. It's how fried chicken should be.

Pecan Encrusted Insanity
January 18, 2013

If you haven't tried pecan encrusted... anything, you owe it to yourself to try it, maybe even as your last meal.
This lovely, bigger than a whole in the wall but not by much, restaurant feels like it is frequented by musicians and foodies alike (not to say that a musician can't be a foodie too, or vice versa).

A break from the regular fare
January 11, 2013

A nice change from burgers or steaks. Southern atmosphere right down to the music. Comfortable and cozy. Great service and food presentation. Prices were a bit high but the food was tasty and the serving portions were just right, although I could have eaten a lot more jambalya. The management were more than accommodating with most menu items prepared gluten... more

Good Cajun Food
December 26, 2012

This is a nice little restaurant with a pretty good menu of Cajun food considering we're quite a ways form the bayou.

Made a dinner reservation for a Christmas staff party a month in advance and when we arrived at our reservation time they did not have a table large enough for our group so they had to put us at a table until they could put together a second table for half of our group. Food was only adequate and over... more

They made the day
November 19, 2012

I was having trouble finding a restaurant that would make a reservation for (and not charge ridiculous non-refundable deposits) and serve a huge group for my birthday party. Not only did they let me reserve on a Saturday but for 40 people! There were many picky eaters and some with dietary restrictions (gluten free and dairy free) and they accomodated... more

Went to Louisiana Purchase for the first time and will go back. The food was amazing. Had bread pudding for dessert which I loved. People were friendly and the atmosphere was fun.

Terrible, grossly overpriced food, great service
July 11, 2012

Well, Tried Alligator for the first time, overcooked (I think). I shouldn't have to fight ribs off the bone, again, overcooked. Hush-puppies were gross and the beans obviously were straight out of a can and on to my plate. There were only two things done to perfection - a small portion of rice and a shot of scotch at the... more

Why is this restaurant so popular
July 11, 2012

We ate here about a week ago and I had read good reviews, so I thought it couldn't be that bad. First impression was okay, except the music they played was really annoying and really loud. There were 6 of us at our table and the music was so loud I couldn't hear the two people at the other end... more

Small place, clean, very friendly and attentive staff. One of us had the steamboat jambalaya and loved it. The other had the Tournedos Ya-Ya - fork-tender beef in a sauce to die for. Not cheap but amazing food.
Downside? Looking hard, skip the Alligator lager.
We'll be back.

Fun Wait Staff, GREAT FOOD

The title says it all. Our waitress was adorable, attentive and pleasant. She had a sense of humor and made the evening enjoyable. The food was amazing. I'd recommend the Jumbalaya.

WOW Great PLace
March 30, 2012

We went there for supper last night with family and one member having severe allergies. The restaurant was very accommidating, the waitress knew the menu, and checked with kitchen to be sure the food was allergy free. We ordered Steamboat Jambalaya, Veggie Houla, Crab Cakes and the Scarlet Salad. We really enjoyed the alligator appetizer!

Five of us went to this restaurant for the first time not really knowing what we were ordering 2 of us ordered the jambalaya I kind of had a idea what it was. When it came it was a plate full of rice with a little bit of seafood and sausage mixed in kind of shocked I thought that I was confused but after looking at recipe after recipe on the internet I realized I was ripped off. The plate cost... more

Un restaurant avec un menu assez intéressant (Cajun). C'est relativement bon. Notre serveuse était toutefois un peu soûlante (c'est peut-être juste moi, mais je n'aime pas qu'une serveuse commence à me parler de sa vie sans que je ne lui demande rien). Allez y une fois pour vous faire votre propre opinion.

Have been here more than once. Why? Because the food is wonderful. Had some slow service recently during a weekday lunchtime, but the food was, as usual tasty and terrific. Tables are really close to together, since the restaurant is trying to maximize space. My preference is to have more room between my dining neighbours. The background music (upbeat Jazz) was excellent.

To the accompaniment of spirited zydeco music, patrons savor the flavorful cuisine of the Deep South at this popular restaurant. Seafood, not surprisingly, is tops on the menu, whether you opt for crab cakes, shrimp Creole, or blackened catfish. Traditional fare like red beans and rice is perfectly seasoned and flavored with smoked sausage. You'll also find beer-battered shrimp, crawfish and a... more
