About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch
Good for groups

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.

Music was very loud when we arrived, asked if they could turn it down and they did. They seat right on a couple which I had to be careful not to hit him when I moved my chair. They had the speaker phone on which was quite loud talked forever. So it was hard to visit with our guests . There were other tables we could have been seated at. Food was good.

Don's Seafood in Denham Springs was excellent! Four of us went for my husband's birthday. We all had different entrees and we each enjoyed the entree (and the appetizers) tremendously! My husband and I ate at the one in Gonzales. It was also great! I would recommend Don's to everyone!

We all had a very enjoyable Easter at Don's. Our server, Trey, I think, was awesome and very attentive without hovering. Thanks, Don's!

Was a nice evening with family. Waiter was great, he did well. Young fellow. Also we had to add to more seats and that was not a problem. Been awhile since I’ve eaten at Dons but I will be back

Should be ashamed to serve,especially on the first Monday oyster night, as to their size and appearance. Have eaten there on previous occasions, but last night they were not close to those. People at our table (8) were astonished by their appearance and the size (some no larger than a quarter and very black). This review is not meant to be harmful but to be honest. Service was just was just average. Be a while before we dine again, not saying we won’t, just need to get over our present disappointment.

My wife and I normally dine at Don's in Denham Springs 1 to 3 times a month. Usually its a good place to unwind and have a good meal. But this particular evening was New Year's Eve around 5 pm. We made reservations,(which we never do, but being new Year's Eve), decided maybe we should just to make sure we had a spot. My wife ordered the snapper and I had the seafood combo. Took forever to get to us, and the size of the red snapper for $38 and overpriced! It was not enough food for the money! You could tell that the food, even my seafood combo was cold. We ate it, but it'll be a while before we go back to Don's.

Food & service excellent. Only negative is that 6 people had to crowd around a table made for 4.

Really sub par. We had hush puppies, catfish/shrimp and shrimp n grits. Hush puppies were ok but small. Turns out meals came with some anyway but they were clearly not the same ones (no green onions). Strange. Patties liked the catfish. Fried shrimp clearly had appearance of being small frozen pre battered shrimp. They were nothing that a reputable Cajun restaurant should serve. More like red lobster. Shrimp n Grits had some very small shrimp. Tough sausage was scattered. . Gravy/sauce was much too salty. Horribly unbalanced dish with no skill shown. . Will not return.
