My wife and I took a day drive from New Orleans and wanted someplace where we could try some local food out of the French Quarter. Â So, based on the reviews we tried The Cabin for lunch and are glad we did - my wife wants to go back today!
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Â They have taken care in the buildings they use (right down to the bathrooms made from an old water tank ;). Â The service was exceptional and the food was great. Â
We will be back.
Tonight my coworker and I were looking for some grub in Gonzalez. I had the shrimp poboy and he had the sausage poboy.
The bread on the poboy was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and warm all around. The aroma was amazing. Shrimp were crispy as well. The meal came with seasoned fries that were crunchy.
Both were awesome and extremely filling (we were not expecting so much food). What made it more awesome was our waitress, Jodie S. Make sure you ask her if you go, she made our time there awesome.
Next business trip in the area, I'm definitely going here again.
After reading all the good reviews, we were a little disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and so was the wait staff, but the food was nothing to write home about. I had the cabin special. The gumbo was okay if you poured a lot of hot sauce on it and so were the black eyed peas. The jambalaya was not good. It was greasy and had weird bits of chicken with gristle on it. My friend had the red beans and rice which was not bad but not good either. The one positive food experience was the corn bread. It was a little out of the way from I-10, so I wouldn't bother returning.
Review Source:Stopped by The Cabin on the way to an LSU game. If you're hungry and can't wait until Baton Rouge, there aren't too many choices, but this is a good one.
Shrimp po-boy: authentic, wonderful. Red beans & rice: authentic, wonderful. We also had some fried gator bites for the hell of it, which were chewy and slightly expensive, but gator's pretty much always chewy and slightly expensive, so I'm not faulting The Cabin for that.
The place really beats you over the head with its ambiance: drinks are served in mason jars, the building itself is riddled with farming equipment & generally old things, and the restrooms appear to be made out of gigantic old barrels. It's really straddling the line between 'enthusiastically historic' and just plain touristy. Nothing touristy about their po-boys, though, so if the decor bugs you, just eat up and don't worry about the plows hanging from the ceiling.
Stopped here for breakfast on the way to Austin from New Orleans. Â The building is very cool and the history is worth the trip alone. Â The food was not very good and overpriced. Â Te serving staff were friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. Â It was a nice place to stop that is not a tourist trap and I was able to take a few decent photos in the parking lot. Â I would most likely look for somewhere new to try with some better cajun food if I pass through again.
Review Source:One of my favorite restaurants! Â Visited this place one day while exploring the Great River Road and its several plantations.
The Cabin is definitely one of a kind! Â Created from old slave cabin, the restaurant has some pretty amazing Cajun cuisine and the atmosphere is fantastic. Â The Great Dining Hall, with its four massive beams supporting the ceiling, resembles a garconnier. Â
The food is really incredible! Â I ordered the gumbo, catfish, and the best dessert that I've ever tasted: buttermilk pie. Â
Afterwards, be sure to check out the thirty-foot cypress carved alligator, nicknamed "Rock," basking in the front garden. Â Out back, there is a reconstructed Cajun Village containing several buildings including a school, slave cabins, and a post office.
*** Excellent place to have lunch and relax while traveling the Great River Road. Â Be sure to check out some of the nearby plantations like Oak Alley and San Francisco.
