    Softshell Crab Ponchartrain was utterly fantastic. Fried perfectly and Shrimp and Crawfish over pasta was superb. Grilled Redfish was flakey and flavorful. Veggies were very good. Crab dip was large lump crabmeat. A+++++++++

    We have been there 3 times this year . Great improvement from post Covid days. Wait staff very good. The crab dip appetizer is excellent. The food was to our liking and prices were reasonable. The place has been remodeled since Covid and has a much nicer look. Will be back.

    Porter and Luke’s is one of my favorite brunch spots. The restaurant is large which helps keep the noise level down. Their bottomless mimosas for $18 are strong and they keep them flowing upon request. All of the food ordered was delicious and their chocolate cake for dessert was scrumptious!
