Ponchatoulas

I got the sampler on both visits here (it was so good I had to go twice). The first time I got crab cakes and crawfish estoufee, and the second time I got crawfish and red beans and rice. The service was pretty good, a little chaotic and slow, but I believe we got there at the same time as a softball team, stuff happens. Overall delicious local Cajun cuisine. Definitely worth the stop, 10 of 10, I'll eat here again.

Ponchatoulas is a rather odd mix between a dive bar, a Cajun joint, and a family dining restaurant. But it works! The specialty is seafood, as expected. Shrimp, crawfish and catfish are all staples of the menu, but it also includes wings, burgers, salads, and the rest of the general pub fare. I sat at the bar and ordered a combo platter with filé gumbo, crawfish tails, and a salad, downing it with a mug of a local IPA. Servers were awesome; friendly, polite and attentive. Definitely worth stopping by for food, or even for the ambience!

Very delicious food good service clean restaurant not much else to say. My family comes from New Orleans Louisiana but I live in Michigan and this place has the food I was looking for. Being that it's in the northern west part of the state I was worried I wouldn't be able to find any good Cajun food. I was surprised, their food was right on the money exactly what I had to taste for and fair prices. I just wish I had ordered a hurricane so I could give a review on that.
