• A lot of older people eat there. I am 65 and I feel at home there.
• The location is no longer a good area. It was okay years ago.

“Have been eating there every Wednesday night for the last year. The Wednesday night special is the seafood platter and is very good for the price. However, the quantity is not consistent but the taste is always the same. For the price I would not get the seafood plater if it were not on special for $12.95. On the whole the waiters are nice and prompt. The lady that is the hostess on Wednesday nights is so very sweet and will always try to get you the table of your choice. The parking area is large and they have a security guard. The area has gone down but the restaurant is easily accessible.”

• Hush puppies.
• Sorry, nothing much.

“So sad to see yet another Louisiana tradition that has deteriorated to this level. I am originally from LA and when I go home to visit family, always stop at Don's on Airline Hwy in Baton Rouge. This last stop was, unfortunately, my final trip there. We went early on a Saturday evening to avoid the rush. Our waiter was either new (and poorly trained) or just nonchalant and could have cared less about service. He forgot our drink order. We had asked for water and did not receive any. I had to go to the bar myself and get two glasses of water. Don's used to offer freshly starched white table cloths which lent an air of dignity. They have been replaced with white vinyl. The hush puppies that magically appeared were great, as always but I'm afraid that was the highlight of the dinner. We were a party of four and tried a variety of "platters" as well as gumbo. The gumbo was nasty, no other word for it. The platters were nondescript and greasy. Worst of all, (I obviously cannot prove it, but certainly think this to be the truth) the crinkle-cut french fries were straight out of the bag! ”
