La Pines Cafe

As your 600th review in November 2020, this is what I have to say. The food is a 10 out of 10 The service is a 10 out of 10 However, the overall experience is a 5 out of 10 Since there was 2 avaiIable tables left, I sat on a table by the dirty map that you guys have. The Air Conditioner blow very cold air at the table. Also, the table is very small for 5 people. When my food arrived, it was getting cold fast. My coffee was also getting cold fast. It is arguably the worst spot in your restaurant, but since the food and service is good, I am giving a fair and honest 3 stars. It would be 5 if the spot wasn't so horrible. Any customer sitting there would not have a pleasant experience. My advice would be to get 4 or 5 employees to sit at the exact same spot (table by the dirty map close to the front door) before you open and see how uncomfortable it is then you can conduct some changes until your employees agree that they feel comfortable and so would the customers. I would come here again and maybe test you guys on the seating arrangement for a chance to update my review for 5 stars. I believe in you guys would do a great job!

Nice old time diner atmosphere. We had breakfast and tried a little of everything. The bacon was a little too crisp for my taste but the steak and eggs were done to perfection. The pancakes and French toast were very tasty, and the grits were smooth with no lumps. My favorite was the home fries cooked crisp, but not too crispy, with onions. Our waitress was friendly, kept her tables sanitized, and made sure everyone had what was needed. We really enjoyed our breakfast!

Wanna know where the locals go for breakfast? This place is it! I remember my parents going to LA Pines when I was a kid. They have been in Slidell serving great food for so long the are practically an institution. Even Guy Fierri and Frank Davis enjoyed LA Pines! Favorite breakfast is the shrimp omelette with crawfish cream sauce and a side of cornbeef hash. Favorite lunch is red beans and rice (pretty basic sounding, I know, but they have the best!).
