Flying Burger

Loved the grilled shrimp with yummy chicken strip and amazing fries. Mom had delicious fried catfish and fried shrimp. We went about 1:30 and no one was in there. Slow service and our table and booth were not super clean. But food is good. A bit pricy, but I would go again to try other items on the menu.

The fish was good but not great like I wanted it to be. The fries were just right. The service was good, and the restaurant was clean. The girls and I couldn't get over the fact that they called the sandwich a "poor boy." Y'all ain't from 'round these parts, are ya? 🤣 (In case you're wondering, it's a po boy!)

I got to Bayou Catfish, Scott style. Apparently Scott is the owner, and this is the off-menu dish he's been eating lately. It's grilled catfish over rice, topped with fried crawfish tails and gumbo broth (everything but the meat). Each part of this combination was seasoned perfectly, and the catfish was almost blackened with a fantastic seasoning and char marks. It was the best dish I have had in so very long! (Sorry the food is half gone in the photo; I couldn't stop eating!)

This is a great place to eat just off interstate 20 Tech exit. They have excellent hamburgers including a double (number 2 basket) that can be ordered on a gluten-free bun. They also will do their fried catfish and fried shrimp gluten-free if they are asked. they have plenty of tables inside, or well lit and generally get the orders out expeditiously. They have a call in service with a side door takeout counter where you can park right outside the door. They generally have food ready to go within 15 minutes of a call. A great place in Ruston for either a sit down meeting with business clients or friends or just pick up a couple of burger baskets to-go for lunch on a day when the schedule calls for such.

Big juicy burger, but a bit expensive having to pay more for extras like cheese, etc. Fries were too greasy, but they did give quite a large portion. Iced tea was fresh. Hubby adored the brown gravy (dipped his fries). Remoulade sauce was a bit too horseradish-y for me but not bad. Service was friendly and pretty fast. May go back to try the shrimp tacos since they've got such good reviews... Cost = $32 for single cheeseburger meal + double cheeseburger meal + side of brown gravy. (Could have easily spent more on burger toppings and dessert = eyeballing the cinnamon roll.)

Not sure what they changed but the meat was weird. It was not a solid patty but a group of pieces. The lady working there saw me pick the burger up and everything fall out. She went and got me another burger. Now, I'm chubby, I love all foods... but just couldn't eat it. Not without a fork. Maybe an off night? Here's hoping.
