Orlando's Seafood Restaurant

Good portions at good price. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and received good service and fresh cooked seafood platter and BBQ shrimp.

What we ordered was excellent, but all the specials were gone so we had to order from the menu. Waitress was super friendly and apologetic, the best sweet tea I've had.

Gold is where you find it, and so is good seafood. On a road trip we passed through Madisonville, Louisiana, and had some recommendations as to where to eat. All were closed after the usual lunch hour so we stopped at a simple, rather rustic looking place, and were very pleased. The atmosphere is homey, the people running the restaurant are delightful, the prices were good, and the food was great. Orlando, the owner, came to our table twice to make sure we were happy, and gave us advice to what to see in Madisonville.

I ordered the stuffed flounder with sides of new potatoes and vegetables. It came with garlic beard and a house salad with a dressing I had never had before, tomato creole. Seeing how large the entrees were at other tables, my husband had only the soup du jour of crawfish bisque. The flounder was huge and beautifully presented. It was deliciously fresh and more than enough for two.

A must go if you are in this area. The taste of sea food is different when you try their jumbo plater. All is there and the taste is amazing. Family service adds a nice southern accent to the amazing experience. There are no many times when the full family is in agreement of my reviews and this one is one of those. The final touch a very decent price for a generous rations.

While we were eating we were planning our next visit! Waitstaff is friendly and informative. I had the Italian salad with grilled crawfish, fresh and amazing. Looking forward to ordering this again. Oh and the cocktail sauce was tangy with a kick, took some Togo for my leftover crawfish.
