The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

    As expected Buddy’s did not disappoint!!! I had an item from their “creations” menu. Crab cake, filet minion, fried green tomato, butterfly shrimp wrapped in bacon and drizzled with a spinach sauce.. it was a stack. Also a side of crab Mac & cheese! Absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. I’ve been to Buddy’s a few times and they have always gone above my expectations!! Highly recommended!!!

    We visited this restaurant for our anniversary. The food and drinks were delicious. Our meals consisted of the red fish special, pork chop special, the pasta and a filet. Along with the tuna appetizer, chicken and andouille gumbo and creme brulee dessert and the chocolate dessert. The restaurant was packed and it was very loud, but our server was great. Food came out promptly. We only had to wait for drinks, but considering how busy they were, it was understandable. Next time we are in the Hammond area, we plan to dine again! Definitely worth the money!

    We loved Don’s! We tried it because it was recommended by a local colleague of my husband. We loved the boudin balls-so tasty! I enjoyed my blackened fish, and my hubby loved his fried oyster Po boy. Our kids enjoyed their food too-a good kids menu is a plus for us. Thanks for a wonderful evening!
